Are Police Records Public in Cherokee County, Georgia?

Yes, police records are public in Cherokee County, Georgia, according to the Public Record Act. This means that individuals have the right to access and obtain copies of police records, unless they are specifically exempted from disclosure by law.

The Public Record Act is designed to promote transparency and accountability in government. It recognizes that access to public records is essential for the public to understand and evaluate the actions of their government and its agencies, including the police department.

By making police records public, Cherokee County allows its residents to stay informed about law enforcement activities, crime rates, and public safety issues.
