Search Redan Busted Mugshots and Arrest Records

Redan busted mugshots and arrest records are handled through the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office, which serves this unincorporated community in eastern DeKalb County. With a population of about 30,400, Redan does not have its own police department. DeKalb County Police provide law enforcement services, and all arrests in the area result in booking at the DeKalb County Jail, where public inmate search tools let anyone look up charges, custody status, and booking data tied to Redan arrests.

Redan Arrest Booking and DeKalb County Jail

Redan is an unincorporated community. It does not have its own municipal police force. DeKalb County Police officers handle law enforcement throughout the area. When they make an arrest in Redan, the defendant goes to the DeKalb County Jail for booking. The booking process involves fingerprinting, photographing, and entry of charges into the county system. Records become searchable in the public database within a few hours of booking.

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office manages the jail and the public inmate search. Anyone can search by name and see current and recently released inmates, along with their charges, booking dates, and custody status. The tool is free and requires no account. It is the starting point for any search involving Redan busted mugshots or arrest records. The DeKalb County page has the inmate search link and full details on the jail system.

Because Redan is unincorporated, county agencies handle all law enforcement and booking functions that would normally be split between city and county government in incorporated areas. That actually makes it simpler to search. There is only one system to check. All arrests in the Redan area go into the DeKalb County database.

DeKalb County Police and Arrest Services in Redan

DeKalb County Police Department provides full law enforcement coverage in Redan. Officers patrol the area, respond to calls, and make arrests that feed into the county booking system. The department headquarters is at 1960 West Exchange Place, Tucker, GA 30084. For non-emergency matters, the DeKalb County Police non-emergency line serves the Redan area.

Since Redan has no city police force, there is no city-level records office to contact for arrest data. All arrest records from the area are held by the DeKalb County Sheriff's Office. If you need to file an open records request for a Redan arrest, direct it to the sheriff. Booking photos, charges, and jail records all sit in the county system rather than any city database.

DeKalb County Inmate Search for Redan Busted Mugshots

The DeKalb County Sheriff's Office public inmate search is the main tool for finding Redan arrest records and busted mugshots. Search by the person's name to pull up current inmates and recent releases. Results show charges, booking dates, and custody status. The search is free and open to anyone without registration.

For older records or booking photos not available in the live search, submit a formal open records request to the DeKalb County Sheriff. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, agencies must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff time and the first 20 pages are free. Pages beyond that cost $0.10 each. The DeKalb County page has contact information for the sheriff's office and additional detail on the inmate search tool.

The Georgia Felon Search charges $15 and returns instant results for felony conviction records across all Georgia counties, including DeKalb, where Redan arrests are processed.

Georgia Law on Booking Photos and Mugshot Removal

State law controls how Redan arrest photos are handled. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, Georgia law enforcement agencies cannot post booking photos online. The DeKalb County Sheriff's inmate search shows charges and booking data but does not display photos in the public portal. Booking photos are part of the arrest record but are withheld from the online search under this statute.

When a Redan booking photo appears on a third-party mugshot website, Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 provides a removal path. Sites covered by the law must remove photos free of charge within 30 days of receiving a written certified mail request. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division explains which arrests qualify and what the removal letter must say. Read the guidance before sending anything. Not all arrests are eligible under the law.

Under the Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, booking photos held by the DeKalb County Sheriff are public records. Anyone can request them through the formal open records process. The agency must respond within three business days. This is the path for getting photos that are not accessible through the live inmate search portal.

Statewide Resources for Redan Arrest Records

Beyond the DeKalb County inmate search, several Georgia-wide tools are available for Redan arrest records. The Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), operated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, is the statewide criminal history repository. GCIC checks cover arrests and dispositions from all Georgia counties, including DeKalb. The Georgia Felon Search at georgia.gov costs $15 and gives instant results for felony conviction records anywhere in the state.

The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is free and shows photos for people serving state prison sentences. Someone convicted after a Redan arrest and sent to state prison will appear in the GDC database. Local jail bookings stay in the DeKalb County system instead. The Georgia Sex Offender Registry, run by the GBI, is free, searchable by name or address, and shows photos of registered offenders. It covers all of Georgia, including the Redan and eastern DeKalb area.

The screenshot below shows the GBI Sex Offender Registry information page, a free resource for checking registered offenders in Redan and across DeKalb County.

The Georgia Sex Offender Registry is maintained by the GBI and is searchable by name or location, covering all counties including DeKalb where Redan arrests are booked.
