Houston County Arrest Records and Busted Mugshots

Houston County is one of Middle Georgia's most populous counties, home to Warner Robins and Robins Air Force Base, and searching for busted mugshots or arrest records here involves both the Houston County Sheriff's Office and the Warner Robins Police Department's public-facing portal. The county's detention center holds pre-trial inmates, and both the county inmate search and the Warner Robins P2C system give the public free access to recent arrest data without any login or registration.

Houston County Detention Center and Inmate Search

The Houston County Sheriff's Office runs the county detention center and maintains a public inmate search through the main county website at houstoncountyga.gov. The detention center page at houstoncountyga.gov/government/detention-center.cms links to the inmate lookup tool. You can search by name to find people currently held in Houston County custody, along with charge and booking details tied to each arrest. The tool also connects to the Magistrate Court Case Search, which gives you another path into Houston County court data.

Houston County also participates in the Police to Citizen (P2C) system through the Warner Robins Police Department. That portal covers city arrests separately from the county detention center. If someone was arrested by Warner Robins police rather than the county sheriff, their data will typically appear in the city's P2C portal rather than the county's detention search. Both sources are worth checking when you're trying to find Houston County busted mugshots or arrest records tied to a specific person.

Warner Robins Police P2C Portal - Recent Arrests

The Warner Robins Police Department runs a Police to Citizen (P2C) portal at p2c.warnerrobinsga.gov. This public site shows recent arrests made by the Warner Robins Police Department, making it one of the more useful tools for finding Warner Robins busted mugshots and booking data in Houston County. The portal is free and open to anyone. No account or login is needed.

The P2C system covers more than just arrests. The Warner Robins portal also includes an incident search, a daily bulletin, accident reports, warrant lists, and a bike registration feature. The recent arrests section is most relevant for people looking up Houston County busted mugshots tied to Warner Robins. Results typically show the arrested person's name, date of arrest, and charge information. For city arrests, this is your first stop. For sheriff or county arrests, check the Houston County detention center search instead.

Open Records Requests for Houston County Arrest Data

Georgia's Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives anyone the right to request public records held by government agencies in Houston County. That includes arrest reports, booking logs, and incident records held by the Houston County Sheriff's Office or the Warner Robins Police Department. Agencies have three business days to respond. The first 15 minutes of staff search time is free, and the first 20 pages copied cost nothing. After that, the rate is up to $0.10 per page.

To request records from the sheriff's office, contact the Houston County Sheriff through the county website at houstoncountyga.gov. For Warner Robins Police records, submit your request through the city's police department contact. For records held at the state level, the GBI Open Records portal at gbigeorgia.govqa.us handles requests tied to state criminal history files managed by the Georgia Crime Information Center.

Note: Georgia law under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 bars law enforcement agencies from posting booking photos directly on their own websites. Booking photos in Houston County may require a formal open records request even if name and charge data appear in the online inmate search.

State Databases for Houston County Records

When local jail searches don't turn up what you need, Georgia's statewide tools can fill the gap. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is the central hub for criminal justice information in the state. Its GCIC division collects arrest, conviction, and criminal history data from all Georgia counties including Houston. For anyone who spent time in a state prison rather than the local jail, the Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Query covers state-level incarceration records and shows photos automatically in results.

The Georgia Felon Search through GCIC costs $15 per search and returns instant results on people convicted of felonies in the state. If you're looking for someone on the sex offender registry, the GBI Sex Offender Registry covers Houston County and lets you search by address, name, or zip code.

Mugshot Removal in Houston County

If your arrest in Houston County resulted in a booking photo that ended up on a commercial mugshot site, Georgia law gives you a path to get it removed. O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 requires mugshot companies to remove photos for free within 30 days of receiving a certified mail request. Your letter must include your full name, date of birth, the date of arrest, and the name of the arresting agency (Houston County Sheriff or Warner Robins Police). No fee can be charged for removals covered under this law.

The Georgia Consumer Protection Division has guidance on this process at consumer.georgia.gov. If a site refuses to remove a photo that qualifies under the law, you can file a complaint with the Attorney General's office. This law applies to commercial third-party sites, not to government-run law enforcement databases. The 30-day removal window starts when the certified letter is delivered to the site.
