DeKalb County Arrest Records

Arrest record access in DeKalb County is governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, which establishes the openness of DeKalb County arrest records. This means that members of the public can contact a law enforcement agency in possession of an arrest record to request access to the record. Researchers usually find the following details tucked into an arrest record.

  • The personal information of the arrested person, including their name, gender, race, height, and weight
  • The arrest details, such as the arresting agency, the date and time of the arrest, and the arrest location
  • Booking information, such as the criminal charges, booking number, and bond amount

The details above constitute the public portion of an arrest record. An arrest record also has a non-public part, which comprises details exempted from public disclosure by law. Examples include sensitive personal numbers, victim identity details, and juvenile arrest information.
