History & Mission
The Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad was founded in 1993 to combat the growing drug problem in Cherokee County. Initially funded by a federal grant, CMANS is now funded by the participating local law enforcement agencies.
In 2019, CMANS expanded to include Pickens County, broadening our mission to serve both communities. Today, CMANS consists of sworn agents from various local law enforcement agencies working together to investigate drug trafficking, reduce drug-related violence, and protect our communities from the devastating effects of illegal narcotics.
Through our unified efforts, we have been successful in reducing methamphetamine laboratory incidents, addressing prescription medication abuse, and combating heroin trafficking in our region.
Our agents receive approximately 100 hours of specialized training annually to stay current with evolving drug trends and investigative techniques. Our multi-agency approach allows for more effective investigations, broader jurisdiction, and greater impact in keeping our neighborhoods safe.
