Find East Point Booking Reports
East Point booking reports are processed through the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county jail at 185 Central Ave SW in Atlanta and handles detention for all of Fulton County. When East Point Police make an arrest, the person is booked into the Fulton County Jail and a public record is created showing the charges, booking date, and bond information. Fulton County offers an online inmate search that you can use to find current custody data for East Point arrests, and older records are available through Open Records requests to the sheriff's office.

City of East Point official website showing police department and public records information
The City of East Point's official website provides information on the East Point Police Department and city services, while booking records for East Point arrests are managed by Fulton County.
East Point Police Department and Arrest Records
East Point Police handle law enforcement within the city and can be reached at 404-559-6226. When officers make arrests in East Point, the person is taken to the Fulton County Jail for booking. The city police department does not operate its own jail or booking facility. All detention goes through Fulton County.
The East Point Police Department keeps its own incident reports and arrest documents. Those are different from the booking records held by the Fulton County Sheriff. If you need a police incident report from an East Point arrest, contact East Point Police at 404-559-6226. For the formal booking record showing jail intake data, contact the Fulton County Sheriff. It's common to need both, depending on what the record is for.
East Point sits in the southwestern part of Fulton County, south of Atlanta and near the border with Clayton County. The city borders Atlanta, College Park, and Union City. Any of these agencies can make arrests that end up in the Fulton County booking system, so the inmate search covers a wide area beyond East Point alone.
Tyler Technologies Jail Database
Fulton County uses a jail management system built by Tyler Technologies. You can access booking data through the Tyler Technologies portal at portal-gafulton.tylertech.cloud. This is a secondary way to search Fulton County inmate information, including East Point bookings. The portal may show details that complement the main fcsoga.org search tool.
The main inmate search at fcsoga.org/inmate-search/ is updated once a day, so the database reflects the previous day's bookings at any given moment. If someone was just arrested in East Point in the last few hours, they may not appear until the next daily update. Calling the jail directly at 404-612-5100 is the fastest way to confirm very recent custody status.
Georgia Open Records Act and East Point Booking Data
Booking records from East Point arrests are public under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq. The Fulton County Sheriff's online inmate search is one way to access that data without filing a formal request. For records not available online, such as older booking reports or specific documents like intake forms, you can submit a written Open Records request directly to the sheriff's office.
Some records are exempt from disclosure. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 lists categories that agencies may withhold, including active investigation files and juvenile records. For routine adult booking data from East Point, the default is public access. If a record is withheld, the agency must provide the reason and cite the applicable exemption.
To submit a request, contact the Fulton County Sheriff's Office at 404-612-5100 or visit in person at 185 Central Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303. You can also check the sheriff's website at fcsoga.org for any online request submission options. There is no required form. A brief written description of the record you want, the person's name, and the approximate date is enough to start the request.
Note: Agencies have three business days to acknowledge an Open Records request under Georgia law.
Booking Photos from East Point
Georgia's booking photo law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 restricts commercial websites from posting mugshots and charging money for removal. It does not stop the Fulton County Sheriff from releasing a booking photo in response to a public records request. To get a booking photo from an East Point arrest, submit a standard Open Records request to the Fulton County Sheriff. The office will advise on whether the photo is available and any applicable fee for the copy.
VINE Custody Alerts for Fulton County
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) lets you track when someone's custody status changes at the Fulton County Jail. If the person is released, transferred, or has a status change, you receive an alert. Sign up at VINELink.com or call 1-877-846-3592. The service is free and runs around the clock.
You can choose notifications by phone, email, or text. VINE is designed for crime victims but is open to anyone who wants to track inmate status in East Point or elsewhere in Fulton County. Keep in mind that VINE tracks status changes, not charge details. Use the inmate search tool for booking data and VINE for custody status notifications separately.
Third-party services like JailATM and Securus Technologies also cover the Fulton County Jail. They handle inmate commissary and phone services. These platforms may reflect current custody status for East Point inmates, though they are not official booking record sources.
GBI and Statewide Criminal History
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation maintains statewide criminal history records through the Georgia Crime Information Center. A GCIC record may show arrests across all Georgia counties, not just Fulton. This can be useful if you need a more complete record than a single Fulton County booking report provides.
For people convicted and transferred to state prison after an East Point arrest, the county jail roster will no longer show them. Use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search to locate people in state custody. The GDC search and the county jail roster cover different populations and do not overlap.
Record restriction under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 allows eligible individuals to seal certain criminal records from civilian background checks. The First Offender Act under O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60 provides a separate path for qualifying first-time offenders. East Point residents can contact a local attorney or legal aid organization for help with the restriction process.
