Laurens County Sheriff's Office

The Laurens County Sheriff's Office in Dublin is the main agency for all booking and jail records in the county. Under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the sheriff must maintain a jail docket for every person taken into custody. This docket is open to the public. You can view it at the facility or request copies of specific records.

Laurens County is located in Middle Georgia and Dublin is the largest city and county seat. The county jail handles bookings from the sheriff's deputies, Dublin Police, and any other law enforcement agencies that make arrests in the county. Each booking entry includes the person's full name, date of birth, booking date and time, and charges at the time of arrest.

Booking records are not the same as convictions. Charges listed at the time of booking may change as the case moves through the courts. Many people booked into jail are released before formal charges are filed, or their charges are later dropped. Others go to trial and are found not guilty. The booking record reflects the arrest, not the final legal outcome.

If you need to check on someone in the Laurens County Jail or want copies of past records, contact the sheriff's office in Dublin. Ask about availability and the open records request process if you need documents. The office must respond within three business days.

Open Records Requests

Georgia's Open Records Act makes jail booking logs available to anyone who asks. Request records in person or in writing. The agency must respond within three business days. They can charge a reasonable fee for copying but cannot bill you for search time.

Some records are not public. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72, records tied to active investigations or records that could put someone at risk may be withheld. Juvenile records are also generally not open to the public. If the agency denies your request, they must tell you why in writing and cite the applicable exemption.

Booking photos are governed by O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19. Georgia restricts when mugshots can be released, especially for people who were not convicted. To request a booking photo, submit a written request to the Laurens County Sheriff's Office.

Some court records may be restricted or sealed. The First Offender Act (O.C.G.A. § 42-8-60) allows some people to complete their case without a formal conviction on their record.
