Johns Creek Quick Facts
Fulton County Inmate Search for Johns Creek
All Johns Creek arrests end up in the Fulton County Jail system. The sheriff's inmate search portal is the place to start. It shows who is currently in custody, when they were booked, what charges are listed, and whether a bond has been set. Search at fcsoga.org/inmate-search - no login needed, no fee. The roster updates once per day.
If you want a more detailed view, the Tyler Technologies jail manager portal is another option. It pulls from the same system but sometimes shows additional fields. Both are maintained by Fulton County and reflect real-time booking data with a one-day lag.
The Fulton County Sheriff's main office is at 185 Central Ave SW, Atlanta, GA 30303. You can call 404-612-5100 for questions about a specific inmate or to confirm whether someone is currently in custody.
The Johns Creek city website provides information about local police services. The image below is from that site, which directs residents to county-level resources for booking and arrest records.
Johns Creek residents are directed to Fulton County for inmate search and booking record access, since the city has no jail of its own.
Johns Creek Police Department
The Johns Creek Police Department serves the city and handles local arrests. Officers can be reached at 678-474-1620 for non-emergency calls. For records created by JCPD - arrest reports, incident reports, and related documents - contact the department's records unit directly.
Keep in mind that the police department generates the arrest report, while the county sheriff holds the booking record. These are two different documents. The arrest report covers what the officer observed and documented. The booking report covers what happened when the person was processed into county custody. If you need both, you'll need to contact both agencies.
The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., applies to both city police and county sheriff records. Agencies must respond within three business days for most requests. Records related to open investigations, personal identifying data, or other protected categories may be withheld under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72.
What's in a Johns Creek Booking Report
A booking report created when someone is processed at the Fulton County Jail includes the person's full name, date of birth, the date and time they were booked, the charges they face, and the agency that made the arrest. Bond information gets added after a hearing. Booking photos are often attached to the record.
Georgia law under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7 requires sheriffs to maintain these records and make them accessible. Booking records are public by default. The law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 protects people from commercial sites that charge to remove their mugshots. It does not limit your ability to view records through official sheriff or court channels.
VINE and Victim Notification
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free service that tracks when someone is released or transferred from the Fulton County Jail. If you need to know when a specific person leaves custody, sign up at VINELink.com or call 1-877-846-3592. Alerts go out by phone, email, or text. VINE does not share booking details - it only notifies you of custody status changes.
Statewide and Federal Records
The Fulton County roster only shows who is currently held there. For a broader view of someone's Georgia criminal history, the GBI's Georgia Crime Information Center maintains records from agencies across the state. Certified history checks require fingerprints and a fee. For people in state prisons, not county jails, use the GDC offender search.
Record restriction may be an option for people who were arrested in Johns Creek but had charges dismissed or completed certain programs. O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 covers the standard restriction process. O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60, the First Offender Act, applies to people who completed a first-time sentence without a formal conviction. Restriction limits what shows up in most background checks but doesn't eliminate the record from law enforcement systems.
