The Fulton County Sheriff's Office runs the jail and maintains the official booking database.

Georgia Law on Busted Mugshots and Booking Photos
Georgia has several laws that affect how arrest records and mugshots are handled. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, law enforcement agencies in Georgia cannot post booking photos online. That is why the Fulton County Sheriff's Office does not display mugshots on its inmate search portal. You can find charges, custody status, and booking details, but not photos through the official system.
Third-party mugshot websites collect and republish booking photos from public records. If you or someone you know has a photo on one of these sites, Georgia provides a path for removal. Under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5, mugshot companies must remove photos free of charge within 30 days if the underlying arrest qualifies for restriction. You send the request by certified mail. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division has step-by-step guidance on how to use this law.
The Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 governs formal record requests. Agencies must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff time is free, and the first 20 pages cost nothing. Beyond that, copies run $0.10 per page. These rules apply to requests sent to the Fulton County Sheriff or the Johns Creek Police Department for arrest records and booking documents.

Statewide Resources for Johns Creek Arrest Records
Several state-level tools can supplement a Johns Creek inmate search. The Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), run by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, maintains criminal history records for the state. GCIC data covers arrests and convictions statewide, not just within Fulton County. You can request a criminal history check through the GBI's official channels.
The Georgia Felon Search, available at georgia.gov, charges $15 and returns instant results for felony conviction records anywhere in the state. The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is free and shows photos for people currently held in state prison. Someone held in the Fulton County Jail may not appear in that system yet, but if they have a prior state prison record, it may show up there. The Georgia Sex Offender Registry, also run by the GBI, is free and searchable by name or address. It includes photos and covers registrants statewide, including Johns Creek.
