A Message from Sheriff Reynolds
Sheriff Frank Reynolds
Cherokee County Sheriff's Office
Welcome to the Cherokee Sheriff's Foundation. As your Sheriff, I am honored to lead an office that is deeply committed to serving and protecting the citizens of Cherokee County.
The Cherokee Sheriff's Foundation was created to provide support and resources to the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office and the community we serve. Through the generous donations and unwavering community support, the Foundation funds essential programs that strengthen the bond between law enforcement and the people we are sworn to protect.
These programs include scholarships for law enforcement families, emergency assistance for officers and their families during times of crisis, community outreach programs that foster trust and cooperation, and funding for equipment and training needs that keep our deputies prepared and effective.
I encourage you to learn more about the Foundation and consider how you can get involved. Whether through a financial contribution, volunteering your time, or simply spreading the word, your support makes a real difference in Cherokee County.
