Georgia Arrest Records

By Ben Kingsley


The state of Georgia is also known as the "Peach State" and the "Empire State of the South". It is deemed as the 24th biggest state and ranked as the 8th heavily-populated of the 50 United States. With the increasing rate of migrants from different locations, it is hard to trust anybody you run into. It is a privilege that access to Georgia arrest records had been made public by the government. It suggests a straightforward scheme for a person to do a background verification on anybody.

There are about 30 correctional facilities in Georgia. Each unit is under the supervision of the Department of Corrections. The said bureau conserves records from way back in the middle of 1980s for both the inmates presently servings in the state's different correctional facilities and past felony imprisonments for persons jailed in the state penitentiaries. Presently, Georgia arrest information is cleared 15 years after the maximum period of the sentence ends.

The Department of Corrections operates a free online search and a comprehensive database on the arrest files. These records are compiled and updated every month. Every search most likely reveals details on the case identifiers, case numbers, charges, period of confinement, the name of the county where the case was filed, and the status of the parole.

The first thing you should do to begin your search on somebody is to fill-out the request form found in the Internet. In order to accomplish your hunt, you must have all the necessary information as to the full name, the middle initial and the birth date of the person you are looking for. There are cases in which search results would show a record of another person having the same name. That is why in times like this, you should provide a specific identifier like the person's Social Security Number. Being able to provide sufficient information will significantly reduce the risk of tripping upon the wrong person. It is also helpful if you can provide information on an individual's past addresses so the database can also run arrest records across various states.

Since 1997, the Offender Records Management System had been utilized by the Georgia Department of Corrections to effectively keep records of more than 38,000 inmates for all prison system in the state. Each file comprises approximately 100 to 150 pages of information which are accessible to the people. However, the agency does not give assurance as to the accuracy and sufficiency of all the files in their database, that's why it is imperative to personally double-check the record acquired with the Georgia Department of Public Information. One can also search into the official website of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Atlanta Division for further reference aside from the free online records database.

Folks make use of public records for diverse objectives. Such resource plays a very important role in genealogical and background studies. It is significant to remind everyone of the existing regulations prevailing in both the handiness and secrecy of information contained in them. The basic access of information through public arrest records provides a shield for one's family members and possessions.
