Search Camden County Busted Mugshots

Camden County busted mugshots and arrest records are maintained by the Camden County Sheriff's Office in Woodbine, Georgia. The county sits in the far southeast corner of the state near the Georgia-Florida border, and its jail processes bookings from throughout the county. This page explains how to find Camden County arrest records, look up inmate data, and understand your rights under Georgia law when it comes to booking photos and mugshot websites.

Camden County Sheriff's Office Arrest Records and Booking Data

The Camden County Sheriff's Office is the primary source for Camden County busted mugshots and booking records. The sheriff's main facility is in Woodbine, Georgia, which serves as the county seat. If you need to look up a current inmate or find out whether someone was recently booked, the sheriff's office is your first stop. You can contact them at (912) 729-7613 for general inquiries about inmates and jail records.

Camden County is one of the faster-growing counties in coastal Georgia, partly due to its proximity to Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base. That growth means more people, more traffic stops, and more bookings coming through the jail each year. The sheriff's office processes arrests from city police departments, state troopers, and its own patrol deputies. All of these arrests go through the same booking process at the county jail.

When someone gets booked into the Camden County jail, a record is created that includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, arresting agency, and booking date. These records are public under Georgia law. Booking photos are taken at the time of arrest. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, passed in 2014, law enforcement cannot post booking photos online. So while the basic arrest record is accessible, the sheriff does not publish mugshots on a public website.

Call the Camden County Sheriff at (912) 729-7613 to ask about a specific inmate or to request a booking record by name or date.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation's open records system provides a way to request official Camden County arrest data. The screenshot below shows the GBI homepage, which is a key resource for statewide criminal record information tied to counties like Camden.

The GBI maintains criminal history data through its Georgia Crime Information Center and handles formal open records requests from the public.

Statewide Tools for Camden County Arrest Records

Georgia offers several statewide databases that can help you find arrest records and booking information tied to Camden County. The Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), operated by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, holds criminal history data for the entire state. Camden County arrests that result in charges get reported to GCIC. You can request a criminal history check through this system for background information on any person arrested in Georgia.

The Georgia Felon Search at georgia.gov costs $15 and gives immediate results for felony conviction records. If you need to know whether someone has a felony record in Camden County or elsewhere in Georgia, this tool can help. It is a state-run service and searches the official conviction database.

The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is free and includes photos. It covers people serving time in state prison, not those held at the Camden County jail. But if someone was convicted in Camden County and sent to a state facility, they will appear in the GDC database. It is worth checking if a local jail search does not find the person you are looking for.

The screenshot below shows the GDC offender query form, which is a free statewide tool that includes photos for people in Georgia state prison.

Use the GDC search to find Camden County residents who may have been transferred from local jail to a state correctional facility.

Georgia Law on Mugshots and Booking Photos in Camden County

Two Georgia statutes matter most when you are looking for Camden County busted mugshots. The first is O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, which took effect in 2014. This law bars law enforcement agencies from posting booking photos online. The Camden County Sheriff's Office follows this rule and does not display mugshots on its public website. You can still get booking photos through a formal open records request, but they are not posted automatically for public viewing.

The second law that matters is O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5, passed in 2013. This statute applies to third-party mugshot websites that collect and republish booking photos. Under this law, those sites must remove a person's photo for free within 30 days if the underlying arrest qualifies for restriction under Georgia law. You send the removal request by certified mail. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division has detailed guidance on this process, including which types of arrests qualify and how to format the request letter.

The Georgia Open Records Act, codified at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, sets the rules for how agencies respond when you ask for records. Agencies must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free, and the first 20 pages cost nothing. Pages after that run $0.10 each. Booking photos and arrest reports held by the Camden County Sheriff are subject to these rules.

Camden County Busted Mugshots and the Sex Offender Registry

The Georgia Sex Offender Registry, run by the GBI, is a free public database that includes photos of registered offenders. Camden County residents required to register appear in this database by name and address. If you are looking for a specific person from Camden County who is on the registry, the GBI's tool lets you search by name, county, or address. It is updated regularly and includes current registration status.

The registry is separate from the Camden County Sheriff's inmate search. Someone could appear on the registry without being in the county jail at the moment. But if you are trying to find booking photos for a person with a prior conviction for a qualifying sex offense, the registry often has a photo on file that is more current than third-party mugshot sites.

For open records requests about Camden County arrest data, the GBI's online request portal handles submissions from the public statewide.

The sex offender registry is searchable by name, county, and zip code and includes current photos for Camden County registrants.

How to Request Camden County Arrest Records Formally

If the online tools do not give you what you need, a formal open records request to the Camden County Sheriff's Office is the right next step. Under the Georgia Open Records Act, you are entitled to access booking records, arrest reports, and other public documents the sheriff holds. Put your request in writing and include the name of the person you are searching for, the approximate date of arrest if you know it, and the specific records you want (for example, booking photo, arrest report, or charge sheet).

Send the request to the Camden County Sheriff's Office at 210 East 4th Street, Woodbine, GA 31569. You can also call (912) 729-7613 to ask about the process before submitting a written request. The agency must respond within three business days under state law. If they cannot produce records right away, they must tell you when they will be available.

For records held at the state level, submit your request through the GBI's online open records portal. This covers GBI investigative records and GCIC data, not local jail records. You need to go directly to the Camden County Sheriff for locally held booking data.

Keep a copy of every request you submit, along with the date you sent it. This helps if you need to follow up or file a complaint if the agency does not respond on time.
