The Cohutta Police Department and its officers have been reinstated following a special meeting. The decision to reinstate came after it was determined that the town charter had not been followed in the prior dismissal of the department.
Days earlier, the Georgia mayor had fired all ten police employees, dissolving the entire department. During the interim period, the Whitfield County Sheriff's Office had assumed policing duties for the small Georgia town.
The officers are now back on the force after the reversal of the mayor's initial decision. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
