Find Booking Reports in Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville booking reports are managed by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county jail located right in Lawrenceville at 2900 University Parkway. Lawrenceville is the county seat of Gwinnett County, so the main detention facility is here in the city. The Lawrenceville Police Department makes arrests inside city limits, but all bookings go through the Gwinnett County Jail. An online jail view tool lets you search Lawrenceville booking reports by name or booking date at no cost. This page explains where to search, what the records include, and your rights under Georgia law.

Gwinnett County Jail and Lawrenceville Arrest Records

The Gwinnett County Jail sits at 2900 University Parkway, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. This is the same city where most Lawrenceville arrests are processed. The Gwinnett County Sheriff runs the facility and, under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, must keep records for all people in custody. That includes people brought in by the Lawrenceville Police Department at 770-963-3288 and by Gwinnett County Sheriff's deputies operating in the area.

The main online tool is the Gwinnett County Jail View at gwinnettcountysheriff.com/smartwebclient. This system lets you search by name or booking date. Each result shows the booking number, charges, bond amount, and arresting officer. It is one of the more detailed online booking systems in the metro Atlanta area. The Lawrenceville city website at lawrencevillega.org covers city services and police department information.

The City of Lawrenceville's official website includes police department contact details and links to county-level booking and inmate resources.

Using the Gwinnett Jail View Tool

The Gwinnett County Jail View is accessible to anyone. You do not need to register or pay to use it. Type a first or last name in the search fields and the system will pull records matching that name from current or recent booking data. The results include the booking number, which can be used to track a case or request additional records. Bond information is displayed when it has been set. The arresting officer's name also appears, which helps confirm which agency made the arrest.

The Gwinnett County Jail View provides searchable booking data including charges, bond amounts, and arresting officer details for Lawrenceville arrests.

For older records not appearing in the online system, contact the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office directly. Booking photo requests fall under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, which sets rules for how booking photos can be used and prohibits commercial sites from charging to remove mugshots from their platforms.

Note: The jail view shows current and recent bookings. Records for people released more than a few weeks ago may require a formal open records request.

Lawrenceville Booking Records and Georgia Open Records Law

Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., makes booking records for Lawrenceville arrests available to the public. Any person can access or request them without giving a reason. The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Jail View system fulfills this obligation by making booking data freely available online. For records beyond what the online tool provides, a written open records request can be submitted to the sheriff's office. Georgia law requires a response within three business days. Most Lawrenceville booking records are released without restriction.

Certain exceptions apply under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72, which allows agencies to withhold records tied to active investigations or where release could interfere with law enforcement. Standard adult booking reports from Lawrenceville do not normally fall under those exemptions. If a request is denied, the agency must provide a written reason citing the specific statutory exemption.

Record Restriction After Lawrenceville Arrest

A Lawrenceville arrest record can sometimes be restricted. O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 allows a petition for restriction if charges were dropped or the person was not convicted. People who completed their sentence under the First Offender Act, O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60, may also have grounds to restrict the record. After restriction, the record stays available to law enforcement but is removed from most public searches and civilian background checks. Gwinnett County legal aid resources can assist with filing the petition.
