Search For Free Public Arrest Records

By Claire Dowell


The state of Georgia is the 24th most extensive and the 8th most populous of the 50 United States. It is also known as the "Peach State" and the "Empire State of the South". With the increasing number of people migrating in this state, it is hard to give your trust on anybody you just met. It is a good thing that the government granted public access to Georgia arrest records. It provides a simplified process in a situation wherein somebody wants to do a background check on a certain individual.

The Department of Corrections supervises the 30 different correctional facilities found in the state. Information for inmates currently serving in the state's various correctional facilities and past felony convictions for persons confined in the state penitentiaries are being maintained by the said bureau since middle 1980s. At present, Georgia arrest details are cleared 15 years after the maximum prison term.

The above-mentioned government organization administers a free of charge online search and an extensive list of arrest files which are accumulated and updated monthly. Every exploration uncovers details on the case identifiers, the number of the case, charges, the period of imprisonment, the location where the case was put on record and the status of the parole.

Before you can start your search, you must fill-out an application form which you can found in the Internet. In order to complete your search, you must have all the vital data as to the full name, the middle initial and the birth date of the person you are searching for. There are instances in which search results reveal a record of another individual with the same name. To negate situations like this, you must provide a unique detail such as the person's Social Security Number. By doing so, you will lessen the possibility of stumbling on the wrong person. It is also of greater advantage if you have in hand additional information about the person's past addresses so the database can check records across the different states.

The Georgia Department of Corrections had implemented the Offender Records Management System in 1997. This method effectively maintains more than 38,000 inmate files for the entire prison system in the state. Every file contains about 100 to 150 pages of data which are readily available to the public. However, the office does not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of all the files in their online database, that's why it is of great importance to personally double-check with the Georgia Department of Public Information if you want to be sure of the data you gathered. Aside from the free online arrest records database provided by the agency, you may also search at the official web site of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Atlanta Division.

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.
