Patrol

Sheriff's Deputies are responsible for a wide range of law enforcement and public safety duties throughout Cherokee County. Their responsibilities include responding to crimes in progress, investigating motor vehicle crashes, making arrests, conducting criminal investigations, testifying in court, transporting prisoners, and responding to calls for service from the public.

Deputies also work closely with our law enforcement partners throughout Cherokee County and surrounding communities, providing assistance when requested. Sheriff's Deputies have law enforcement jurisdiction throughout Cherokee County, including rural and unincorporated areas as well as municipalities within the county.

In addition to responding to calls for service, deputies take a proactive approach to public safety. Through visible patrols and traffic enforcement, deputies work to promote safer roadways, deter criminal activity, identify suspicious activity, and maintain a visible law enforcement presence throughout the county.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office Patrol Division also includes two deputies assigned to area schools as School Resource Officers. These deputies work alongside students, school staff, and families to help maintain safe learning environments while building positive relationships between law enforcement and our local youth.
