Sheriff's Office Establishes Public Transaction Zones

These seven areas at Cherokee Sheriff's Office precincts will allow residents to safely sell or purchase items or make trades.

WOODSTOCK, GA — The Cherokee Sheriff's Office has established seven places where residents can safely carry out transactions originating from websites, apps or social media sites. These seven Public Transaction Zones are strategically located at the agency's precincts around the county.

“So many people are buying and selling things over the internet with complete strangers these days," said Sheriff Frank Reynolds. "We felt these public transaction locations would give citizens a stronger sense of security.”

The locations are marked, well-lit and are monitored by video. Each location is listed below, as is the address of the sheriff's office precincts where they are housed:
