What Coweta County Booking Records Include
Each entry in the Coweta County inmate catalog shows the person's name, booking date, and current charges. The record is created at the time of intake and reflects the charges filed at the time of arrest. Georgia law under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7 requires the sheriff to maintain this jail docket and allow public access. The online catalog is the county's method of fulfilling that obligation in an accessible way.
Being listed in the booking record does not mean the person was convicted. Charges filed at booking may be amended or dropped later. Many people in jail records are awaiting trial, haven't been arraigned yet, or are waiting for bond to be set. Always check the court record to understand the current status of a case and its legal outcome.
If you need information about someone who was held but has since been released, the online catalog may no longer show them. In that case, submit an Open Records Act request for the historical booking record. You can make that request in writing to the Coweta County Sheriff's Office, and the office has three business days to respond under Georgia law.
Note: The Police to Citizen platform is a third-party system. If it experiences downtime, you can always contact the sheriff's office directly at 770-253-1502 for current inmate information.
Open Records Requests and Your Rights
For records beyond what the online catalog shows, Georgia's Open Records Act gives you the right to request documents from the Coweta County Sheriff's Office. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., the office must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff search time is free. Fees may apply for longer searches or large document requests.
Booking photos are generally available as public records in Georgia. The sheriff's office can provide booking photos upon request in most cases. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, there are some limits on commercial uses of mugshots, but the photos themselves remain accessible for public records purposes. Exemptions under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 may apply if records involve an active investigation or juveniles. If a request is denied, ask for the specific exemption cited in writing.
