Cherokee County sheriff and FBI team up for crime probe
(KODE & KSN) — The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office is teaming up with the FBI to investigate crime in the area.
The partnership will allow the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office to assign one of its deputies as an FBI Task Force Officer. That deputy will be assigned to investigate criminal activity within Cherokee County while working with other law enforcement agencies.
It's part of the FBI Safe Streets Task Force Program, which focuses on identifying and targeting criminals and groups accused of serious felony offenses. The goal is to prioritize investigations so they can be brought before prosecutors while giving investigators all resources available to local and federal law enforcement agencies.
'Because that's what we're after. Again, is just create a better quality of life for the citizens and visitors that come here to see Cherokee County, where we would like to completely end crime. But we know that's not potential. But if we can reduce it and show the people that are thinking about committing a crime, that there's consequences for their actions,' said Brian Henderson.
