Johns Creek Booking Releases

Johns Creek booking releases go through the Fulton County Sheriff's Office. Johns Creek is in northeast Fulton County and was incorporated in 2006. The city runs its own police department, but there is no city jail. When Johns Creek police arrest someone, the person is transported to a Fulton County jail facility for booking. The Fulton County Sheriff creates the booking release record and keeps it in the county system along with records from every other city in the county.

Fulton County Handles Johns Creek Bookings

Johns Creek sits in the far northeast corner of Fulton County. The city borders Forsyth County to the north and Gwinnett County to the east. All of Johns Creek falls within Fulton County, so every arrest by city police routes through the Fulton County jail. The North Annex at 2565 Old Milton Parkway in Alpharetta is the closest Fulton County jail facility and processes many Johns Creek bookings.

Under O.C.G.A. § 42-4-7, the county sheriff must keep records for every person held in the jail. This law applies to all Johns Creek arrests processed through the Fulton County system. The sheriff logs the person's information, charges, and booking details. When the person is released, that data goes into the same record.

Before Johns Creek incorporated, this area was unincorporated north Fulton County. The Fulton County Sheriff handled all law enforcement. Now the city has its own police, but the jail system stays with the county. This split between city police and county jail is standard across Georgia.

What Booking Releases Show

Booking release records for Johns Creek arrests include the standard Fulton County data. The record has the person's name, date of birth, physical description, and a booking photo. It lists all charges, the arresting agency, the booking date, and any bond conditions. Release records add the date and reason for release.

Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 35-1-18 governs how booking photos can be shared. Fulton County applies this law to all bookings, including those from Johns Creek. Some records may be exempt from public release under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72. This happens when cases are sealed or when active investigations are involved.

Most records are fully public. The exceptions are narrow and defined by state law.
