Cherokee County Sheriff Roger Garrison announced Tuesday he'll be seeking a sixth term in office this year. Garrison, a Republican, said he's pledging to maintain the high standards that contributed to his agency becoming the first nationally accredited sheriff's office in Georgia in 1996. In November, he became the first Georgia sheriff to receive the Egon Bittner Accreditation Award, given to those who lead an accredited law enforcement agency for more than 15 years. Fighting illegal drugs continues to be a top priority of his office, said Garrison in a re-election announcement.
