The sheriff's office is located at 62 East Main Street, Gibson, GA 30810. You can reach them by phone at (706) 598-2551.

Georgia Law on Booking Photos and Glascock County Mugshot Websites

Georgia's 2014 law, O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, prohibits Georgia law enforcement from posting booking photos online. The Glascock County Sheriff follows this rule. Booking photos are public records in Georgia, but you can only get them through a written request to the agency. Third-party sites that publish Glascock County busted mugshots operate independently and pull data from other public records channels, not directly from the sheriff's website.

If your photo appears on a mugshot site, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 (2013) gives you the right to request free removal. Mugshot companies must remove photos within 30 days when you send a certified mail request and the arrest qualifies for record restriction. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division explains the process and covers which records are eligible. This right applies to anyone with a Glascock County busted mugshot on a covered website.

The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, requires agencies to respond to records requests within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff time is free. The first 20 pages cost nothing. Pages beyond that are $0.10 each. These rules apply to all written requests submitted to the Glascock County Sheriff's Office for arrest records or booking photos.

Statewide Resources for Glascock County Arrest Records

Because Glascock County does not have an online jail roster and has minimal local web presence, statewide Georgia tools are especially valuable here. The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is free and shows photos for state prison inmates. If someone arrested in Glascock County received a state sentence, their record is likely in the GDC database. The Georgia Sex Offender Registry is also free and searchable by name with photos for all Georgia counties.

For felony conviction records, the Georgia Felon Search costs $15 and returns instant statewide results. The GCIC, run by the GBI, holds comprehensive statewide criminal history from all Georgia counties including Glascock. A formal GCIC check through the GBI is especially useful for a county this small, where older records may be harder to access locally than through the state system.
