Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will start a Cherokee County Citizen's Academy. The goal of the Citizen's Academy is to build stronger community-law enforcement relations by educating residents about law enforcement operations, fostering two-way communication, and ultimately creating more informed citizens so they can better partner with law enforcement to solve neighborhood problems and promote public safety. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will continue and expand our partnerships with the Department of Mental Health, the Alcohol and Drug Commission, and similar organizations for education, treatment, and prevention. These partnerships will be in the community as well as the Detention Center to help with mental health and substance abuse issues. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will continue to invest in our community through active engagement and impactful programs. From our annual, school supply drive and toy drive to providing snack packs for children and hosting summer camp at the Kids Club, we will remain dedicated to creating opportunities and support for families all year long. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will aggressively pursue drug dealers in our community. We will continue to partner with surrounding agencies, SLED, DEA, HSI, and others to take this poison off our streets. Criminal Justice / Public Safety We will also expand these educational opportunities to our middle and high schools. We will use groups such as the Fentanyl Effect to help educate our youth, parents, family members, educators, and community of the dangers of Fentanyl.
