# Cherokee County Considers $37M Axon Agreement

Cherokee County, Georgia, is considering a proposed 10-year, $37 million consolidated public-safety technology agreement with Axon Enterprise for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. The proposal has not been approved; the county postponed its decision for additional legal review and scheduled it for the county board’s October 20 meeting. The proposed scope combines cameras, Tasers, evidence and records-management software, related services, a drone first-responder system, and language translation, making the decision relevant to suppliers of integrated public-safety platforms and to agencies evaluating long-term technology agreements.

- The proposed agreement bundles equipment, software, licensing, integrations, training, and support; Axon is identified as the proposed prime contractor.
- Procurement teams and competing suppliers can use the disclosed scope to assess the county’s approach to consolidating public-safety technology, while recognizing that no award has been made.
- The October 20 board meeting is the next stated decision milestone. The additional legal review may affect approval timing and the final agreement.
