Statewide Resources for Glynn County Busted Mugshots

Georgia's statewide databases can fill gaps when a local Glynn County search doesn't have what you need. The Georgia Crime Information Center (GCIC), run by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, holds criminal history records for every Georgia county. A GCIC check covers arrests and convictions from multiple agencies, including the Glynn County Sheriff's Office and the Brunswick Police Department. It can reveal older cases that may not show up in a current jail search.

The Georgia Felon Search costs $15 and gives instant results for felony conviction records statewide. It covers Glynn County Superior Court convictions alongside those from any other Georgia county. The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is free and includes photos for people serving time in state prison.

Georgia Law on Glynn County Booking Photos

Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19, enacted in 2014, bars law enforcement agencies from posting booking photos online. The Glynn County Sheriff's Office and the Brunswick Police Department do not publish mugshots on their websites. You can access current inmate data, charges, and custody status through official channels, but the agencies do not publicly display booking photos on their own.

Third-party mugshot websites collect photos through open records requests and post them publicly. Georgia's O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 (2013) requires those sites to remove photos at no cost within 30 days when the arrest qualifies for restriction. The request is sent by certified mail. The Georgia Consumer Protection Division provides guidance on how to do this and which sites are subject to the law. If a Glynn County booking photo appears on a mugshot website, that is the right place to start.

To get a certified copy of a Glynn County booking photo, submit a formal open records request to the Glynn County Sheriff's Office. For GBI-held records, use the GBI open records portal.
