Search Milton, Georgia Busted Mugshots and Arrest Records

Milton busted mugshots and arrest records are processed through the Fulton County Sheriff's Office, which handles booking for defendants arrested by the Milton Police Department. Located in north Fulton County, Milton is one of the wealthier cities in the Atlanta metro, and any arrest made by Milton PD results in booking at the Fulton County Jail, with the record entering the county's public inmate search system accessible at fcsoga.org.

Which County Handles Milton Arrest Records

Milton is in Fulton County. Arrests made by the Milton Police Department result in booking at the Fulton County Jail at 901 Rice Street NW, Atlanta. Milton does not have its own jail. After booking, the defendant's record goes into the Fulton County Sheriff's public inmate database. From there, it is searchable by anyone using the sheriff's online tool at fcsoga.org.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office runs one of the more detailed public inmate search systems in Georgia. Results include the defendant's full name, booking number, arresting agency, charges, warrant number, court disposition, and custody status. The system covers the main jail on Rice Street as well as two satellite facilities: the North Annex in Alpharetta and the South Annex in Union City. Because Milton is in north Fulton, some defendants from the city end up at the North Annex rather than the main facility. If you can't find someone in the main search, they may be at a satellite location.

The Milton Police Department is at 710 S Atlanta St, Alpharetta, GA 30009. Non-emergency calls go to 678-242-2572. For questions about a current inmate, contact the Fulton County Jail rather than the city police department, since the county handles all custody matters after booking.

Arrest records generated by Milton Police Department officers flow into the Fulton County system after booking at the county jail. The city police do not maintain a public inmate database. For a copy of an incident report or an arrest report from a Milton PD case, you can submit a formal records request to the city. Under the Georgia Open Records Act, the department must respond within three business days. For current inmate status, use the Fulton County inmate search at fcsoga.org, since that is where live jail data is held. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office is the right contact for questions about bail, release dates, or any other custody matters for Milton arrests.

Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, the Fulton County Sheriff cannot post booking photos online. The inmate search shows names, charges, and booking numbers, but not mugshots. Third-party sites may republish photos from other sources, but the official county portal does not include them.

Georgia law requires mugshot sites to remove photos for free within 30 days when the arrest meets the criteria set out under state law.

Georgia Law on Milton Booking Photos and Mugshot Sites

Three Georgia laws are most relevant when searching Milton busted mugshots. First, O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 bars law enforcement from posting booking photos online. This is why the Fulton County inmate search does not display mugshots. The law was passed to limit official government distribution of arrest photos. It does not apply to private websites, which are covered under different rules.

Second, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 governs mugshot websites directly. Under this law, a mugshot company must remove a photo within 30 days of receiving a certified mail request, at no charge to the person making the request. Companies that charge for removal are violating the statute. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division provides a full explanation of how to make a removal request and which types of arrests are covered. Read the guidance carefully before submitting anything.

Third, the Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives anyone the right to request public records from state agencies. Milton arrest records held by the Fulton County Sheriff or Milton PD are subject to these rules. The three-business-day response requirement and fee schedule apply to all formal requests.
