Mableton and Cobb County Police
Law enforcement in Mableton is handled by the Cobb County Police Department, which can be reached at 770-499-3900. Since Mableton is a newly incorporated city, some services are still being set up at the city level. For most enforcement and public safety functions, Cobb County Police continues to serve the area.

Police reports and incident reports created by Cobb County Police are separate from the booking records held by the sheriff.

What Booking Reports Include
A Cobb County booking report records the person's name, date of birth, when they were booked, what charges were filed, and which agency made the arrest. Bond information is added after the bond hearing. Booking photos are typically part of the file.
Georgia law protects people from commercial mugshot sites that charge fees to remove photos. O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 bars that practice. This does not affect access to official records. Booking reports from the Cobb County Sheriff remain public and can be requested by anyone. Certain limited categories of records can be withheld under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72, such as active investigation materials.
Note: A booking record shows an arrest, not guilt. Charges can change or be dropped after the initial booking.
