Gwinnett County Booking Reports

Gwinnett County booking reports are public records maintained by the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Gwinnett is the second most populous county in Georgia and one of the most diverse in the Southeast. The county jail processes a high volume of bookings daily. This page covers the official online inmate search tool, what booking records include, and how to find additional resources for Gwinnett County arrest information.

Gwinnett County Sheriff Inmate Search

The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office provides an online inmate search tool called SmartWebClient, accessible at gwinnettcountysheriff.com/smartwebclient. This database allows you to search for inmates by last name, first name, or middle name. You can also filter by a range of booking dates and choose to view current inmates only, released inmates only, or both.

Sort options in the SmartWebClient include sorting by name or booking date, in either ascending or descending order. This makes it easy to find recent bookings or to search a historical date range. Results show the person's booking status, booking number, MNI number, booking date, age at booking, bond amount, and cash-only amount if applicable.

The jail is located at 2900 University Parkway, Lawrenceville, GA 30043. The sheriff's website is at gwinnettcountysheriff.org. The county is large enough to process many bookings each day, and the online tool reflects that volume.

The SmartWebClient shows detailed charge information for each booking, including the statute number charged, court case number, charge description, degree and level of the charge, bond amount, bond type, fees, arresting officer, and warrant number. This level of detail makes the Gwinnett system one of the more comprehensive county inmate portals in Georgia.

What Gwinnett County Booking Records Show

A Gwinnett County booking record includes the person's full legal name, date of birth, booking date, all charges filed at intake, the arresting agency, bond information, and current custody status. The SmartWebClient displays each charge with the specific statute, the court case number, charge level (felony or misdemeanor), degree of the offense, and any associated warrant numbers. This is more detail than most Georgia county jail systems provide to the public.

Booking photos are part of the intake process. Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 restricts commercial use and distribution of mugshots. Third-party websites that profit from publishing booking photos face legal constraints. Under this statute, individuals may be able to request removal of their photos from commercial sites.

Charges at booking are preliminary. The Gwinnett County District Attorney's Office reviews each case and can change, reduce, or drop charges. Court records at the Gwinnett County Superior Court clerk's office show what happened after the booking — pleas, dismissals, verdicts, and sentences. Always check court records alongside booking records for a complete picture.

Note: Under Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the sheriff must maintain the jail docket. The SmartWebClient is the Gwinnett County implementation of that requirement for public access.
