The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office and Cloudland Fire Department have partnered to open another Sheriff’s Office substation – this one inside the new Cloudland Fire Department building on County Road 66.

Sheriff Jeff Shaver said “One of the greatest challenges for any Sheriff’s Office, both in rural and urban counties, is ensuring a strong law enforcement presence in every community of a county because of the geographic distance between each community   – and the opening of this substation will allow the Sheriff’s Office to have a greater presence in the Cloudland community,” he added “We appreciate Chief Cavin and the Cloudland Fire Department for graciously opening up the facility to us to utilize as an office for deputies to stop to do paperwork and at times meet with people for reports or other matters.”

The Cloudland substation marks the third Sheriff’s substation in Cherokee County. 

Sheriff’s substations were added in Gaylesville and Sand Rock in recent years – and – according to Sheriff Shaver, they’re working to add additional substations in the near future.
