Peachtree City Booking Reports
Peachtree City booking reports are kept by the Fayette County Sheriff's Office, which runs the county detention center in Fayetteville. When Peachtree City Police make an arrest, the person is booked into the Fayette County Detention Center and a public record is created. That record shows the charges, booking date, and bond information. Peachtree City is the largest city in Fayette County, and the sheriff handles all county-level jail detention for the area. You can search current inmate records or request older booking reports through the sheriff's office.
Peachtree City Quick Facts
Fayette County Detention Center
The Fayette County Detention Center in Fayetteville holds people arrested throughout the county, including those booked after Peachtree City Police arrests. Under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the sheriff must maintain jail records for all people in custody. That includes booking dates, charge information, bond status, and the arresting agency. Fayette County Sheriff's Office can be reached at 770-461-6353 to ask about a specific inmate or request records from past bookings in Peachtree City.
When the Peachtree City Police Department brings someone in on a new arrest, the booking process at the detention center generates a formal record. Staff photograph and fingerprint the person, log the charges, and enter the case into the system. That data becomes part of the public record under Georgia's Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq. Routine requests for booking data don't require a formal written request, but older or non-current records may need one.
Fayette County's detention center is in Fayetteville, which is the county seat. It serves all law enforcement agencies in the county. Beyond Peachtree City, agencies like the Fayetteville Police and county patrol deputies bring arrests there as well. All booking records from these agencies are maintained by the sheriff and are subject to the same public access rules.
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association reported in January 2026 that Georgia held 25,487 inmates across county jails, with 67.9% awaiting trial rather than serving a sentence. Fayette County falls within that broader picture. Most people in the Fayette County Detention Center have not been convicted — they are awaiting a court date. Booking reports reflect an arrest, not a finding of guilt.
Peachtree City Police and Arrest Records
The Peachtree City Police Department handles law enforcement within city limits. You can reach them at 770-461-4731. When officers make an arrest, they transport the person to the Fayette County Detention Center for booking. The city police maintain their own incident reports, but the booking record itself lives with the county sheriff.
If you want records related to a specific arrest — such as an incident report, arrest report, or officer narrative — those come from the Peachtree City Police Department directly. If you want the booking record showing jail intake data, that comes from the Fayette County Sheriff. These are two different documents, and you may need to contact both agencies depending on what you are looking for.
Note: Incident reports from Peachtree City Police and booking records from the Fayette County Sheriff are separate documents held by different agencies.
Online Jail Roster and Inmate Search
For real-time inmate data, the Georgia Sheriffs' Association and county-level tools are your first stops. The Fayette County Sheriff's Office website may have an online roster showing who is currently in custody. If the county does not host its own public search tool, you can call the detention center directly at 770-461-6353 to check on a specific person. Have the full name and approximate date of arrest ready when you call.
Third-party inmate services also cover Fayette County. JailATM lets friends and family send money to inmates in custody and may show basic custody information. Securus Technologies provides phone and messaging services at the detention center. These platforms are not official record sources, but they often reflect current custody status and can help you confirm whether someone is in the Fayette County system.
For statewide prison records, use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search. That tool covers state prisons, not county jails. If someone was convicted and transferred out of Fayette County after sentencing, they will no longer appear in the county jail roster. The GDC search is where you look next.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation maintains the Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), which holds statewide criminal history records. A GCIC record may include arrests made in Peachtree City as well as other Georgia jurisdictions. Learn more at the GBI GCIC page. This is a more complete picture than a single county booking report.
Open Records Requests for Peachtree City Booking Data
Georgia's Open Records Act gives the public the right to request booking records from government agencies. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq. covers this. Agencies must respond within three business days. Most routine booking records are public and don't require a detailed written request — you can ask over the phone or in person. But if you need a formal document trail, a written request is the right approach.
Not every record is available. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 lists exemptions. Active investigation files, juvenile records, and certain protected categories can be withheld. For standard adult booking reports from Peachtree City arrests, the presumption is public access. The sheriff's office will tell you if a specific record is exempt and why.
To submit a request to Fayette County Sheriff, contact the office at 770-461-6353 or visit in person at the Fayetteville courthouse complex. For city police incident reports, contact the Peachtree City Police Department at 770-461-4731. Some agencies have an online request form on their website — check the official site before calling if you prefer to submit in writing.
Booking Photos and Georgia Law
Booking photos from Peachtree City arrests are subject to O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19. That law targets the pay-to-remove mugshot business model used by some commercial websites. It does not restrict the sheriff or police from releasing a booking photo as part of a public records request. The law focuses on websites that post photos and then charge people to take them down.
If you are requesting a booking photo from the Fayette County Sheriff, you do so under the standard Open Records process. The sheriff's office will tell you whether the photo is releasable and any applicable fee for the copy. Some agencies provide photos electronically; others require an in-person visit.
VINE Custody Notifications
VINE (Victim Information and Notification Everyday) is a free service that sends you an alert when an inmate's custody status changes. If someone you are tracking is released from the Fayette County Detention Center, transferred to another facility, or escapes, VINE notifies you by phone, email, or text. Register at VINELink.com or call 1-877-846-3592 any time.
VINE tracks status changes, not charge details. For a full booking report, you still need to contact the sheriff. But VINE is a reliable way to monitor custody without calling the jail repeatedly. It is designed with crime victims in mind but is open to anyone who wants to track an inmate's status in Peachtree City or elsewhere in Fayette County.
Record Restriction and First Offender Cases
Georgia law allows some people to restrict criminal records so they don't show on civilian background checks. O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 governs who qualifies. People whose charges were dismissed, who were acquitted, or who completed certain sentences may be eligible. The petition goes through the arresting agency and the GBI.
The First Offender Act under O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60 lets eligible first-time offenders avoid a formal conviction if they complete their probation terms. Once done, the conviction is not entered and the record may be restricted. This affects what shows up in a background check but does not remove the initial booking record from sheriff's files. Peachtree City residents can consult a local attorney or Georgia Sheriffs' Association resources to learn more about restriction eligibility.
Note: Restriction seals a record from civilian searches but does not delete it. Law enforcement agencies can still see restricted records.
State-Level Resources
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association publishes a statewide jail report. Their January 2026 data shows Georgia's county jails at 71.9% capacity with about 67.9% of inmates awaiting trial. This state-level context helps you understand the broader system that Fayette County detention falls within.
The state's GDC offender search at services.gdc.ga.gov covers people serving state prison sentences. If someone was convicted and sent to a state facility after being arrested in Peachtree City, the GDC database is the right place to look. The GBI GCIC covers statewide arrest and court records across all Georgia counties.
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association inmate search portal provides booking data for participating counties. Visit georgiasheriffs.org to see if Fayette County participates and to check for available search tools.
The Georgia Sheriffs' Association tracks inmate population and capacity data across all 159 counties, including Fayette County, where Peachtree City arrests are booked.
