New Officer

On September 18, 2015, Officer Samuel Snell was sworn in by Judge T. Roach as a Canton Police Officer. His father, Stan Snell, who is a Forsyth County Deputy was proud to pin his badge on his uniform during the ceremony. Officer Snell is no stranger to the department; he was part of the Canton Explorer program for over 5 years and was hired by the department to work in parking enforcement last year. He is a graduate of the Cherokee County Regional Police Academy.


Officer Snell will spend the next several months in the departments FTO (Field Training Officer) program. The FTO training program provides a foundation for learning that prepares new Canton Officers for the complexities of policing today and in the future.
