In early 2023 the State of Georgia Legislature passed H.B. 631, also known as "Logan's Law" or "Logan's List". Beginning October 30th, 2023, Cherokee County E 9-1-1 will start accepting submissions for individuals who fall under the law. Individuals who may benefit are those with non-verbal autism and physical, mental, or neurological disorders. Also those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a potential for violence, excitability or fear of lights and sirens, or loud noises. This is not an all-inclusive list.

​

Having this information readily available will help our first responders throughout Cherokee County respond in a more compassionate manner once they are alerted to an individual that they may be responding to, allowing them to preemptively address any triggers that could intensify the situation.

​

Citizens may obtain the Cherokee County Logan's Law form from the website at https://www.joincherokee911.com/logan. After filling it out and returning to our agency, a notation will be added to the specified addresses for public safety to utilize if the need ever arises.

​

This will bolster our already dedicated programs offered to aid those who need additional assistance in our community. Cherokee County continues to be a leader in keeping its residents with special needs safe.
