Stonecrest Quick Facts
DeKalb County Jail and Stonecrest Bookings
All Stonecrest arrests are processed at the DeKalb County Jail at 4425 Memorial Drive, Decatur, GA 30032. The facility has a rated capacity of 3,800 beds, making it the largest pre-trial detention facility in Georgia. On any given day, the average population is around 2,200 people. Chief Deputy Temetris Atkins oversees operations. Despite its size, the jail is designed to handle the volume of bookings from a large county with many active law enforcement agencies.
To search the current inmate roster, go to the DeKalb County Sheriff inmate roster page. The roster shows who is currently in custody along with booking dates and charge information. If you can't find someone there, call the jail directly to ask about a recent booking - very new arrivals may not yet appear in the online system.
The DeKalb County Sheriff has a legal duty under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7 to maintain these records. Booking reports are public under the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq. Agencies must respond to written records requests within three business days for most documents.
The Stonecrest city website provides information about city services and local police. The image below is from that site, which links to county-level resources for booking records and inmate lookup.

DeKalb County Police in Stonecrest
The DeKalb County Police Department provides law enforcement for Stonecrest. Call 770-724-7610 for non-emergency contact. Stonecrest is served by DeKalb County PD rather than a separate city force, which means the arrest process flows entirely through county channels - from the officer's arrest to the county jail for booking.
Incident reports and arrest reports created by DeKalb County Police are separate from the jail's booking records. To get a police report, contact the DKPD records unit. To get a booking report, contact the DeKalb County Sheriff. Both types of records are covered by the Georgia Open Records Act. Some records can be withheld under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72, such as active investigation documents, but basic arrest records for closed matters are generally public.
What DeKalb Booking Records Show
A booking report from the DeKalb County Jail lists the person's name, date of birth, the charges they were booked on, the booking date and time, and the arresting agency. Bond information is added after a court appearance. The record may also include a booking photo.
Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 prohibits commercial websites from charging fees to remove mugshots. This law was passed to stop extortion-style sites that post booking photos and then demand payment. It does not block access to records through the sheriff's office or public records channels. Booking data stays public. A booking report shows an arrest - not guilt or a conviction.
Visitation and Communication at DeKalb Jail
The DeKalb County Jail uses Securus Technologies for video visitation. Remote video visits cost $5 for a 30-minute session. You can reach Securus at 1-877-578-3658 to set up an account and schedule a call. In-person visits are allowed two times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with session times at 8 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Each on-site visit is also 30 minutes.
For messaging, funds transfers, and other inmate services, JailATM is an option for supported facilities. For video visits specifically, use the Securus Technologies platform. These are not official law enforcement systems - they are third-party tools to help families stay in contact.

People arrested in Stonecrest who had charges dismissed or met other criteria can apply to restrict their record under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37. The First Offender Act, O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60, offers a path for first-time offenders who completed their sentence without a formal conviction. Restriction limits civilian access but doesn't remove the record from law enforcement systems.
