Troup County Sheriff Inmate Search and Jail Records

The Troup County Sheriff's Office maintains an online inmate records search through the jail page at troupcountysheriff.org/home/jail. The main sheriff's website is at troupcountysheriff.org. The inmate search lets you look up people currently in custody at the Troup County jail, which is located at 130 Sam Walker Drive in LaGrange, GA 30240. The same address serves as the main office for the sheriff. The main phone number is 706-883-1616.

Sheriff James Woodruff leads the office. Chief Deputy Jon Whitney assists with department operations. Business hours run Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. The fax number is 706-883-1694. For email contact, reach Sheriff Woodruff directly at jwoodruff@troupco.org. For routine arrest record questions, calling the main line during business hours is usually the fastest route.

Troup County had a violent crime rate of 276 per 100,000 residents in 2018. That's a moderate rate for a county of its size. The county's location along the I-85 corridor between Atlanta and Montgomery creates some of the typical law enforcement activity you'd expect on a major interstate. When searching Troup County busted mugshots, the inmate records search on the sheriff's site is the primary public tool.

Troup County Jail Visitation and Securus Video Visits

The Troup County jail offers both on-site and remote video visitation through Securus. On-site visits are available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM. Remote visits, which you can do from home or any internet-connected device, are available seven days a week up to 9:40 PM. Remote visits through Securus require creating an account through the Securus platform. You don't have to travel to the jail to visit someone in Troup County custody.

The sex offender registry tied to the sheriff's website covers information at both the county and state level. Individual registrant records include name, age, height, home address, crime committed, conviction date, county, city, state, zip code, and registration date. This registry data is maintained separately from the general inmate search and reflects people with required registration obligations rather than just current jail inmates.

Note: Video visitation through Securus requires account registration. Visit the Securus website or call the Troup County jail at 706-883-1616 for setup instructions. On-site visits require arriving during the Monday through Friday window, 9 AM to 7 PM.

Open Records Requests for Troup County Arrest Data

Georgia's Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 applies to records held by the Troup County Sheriff's Office and other county law enforcement agencies. Arrest reports, booking logs, and related documents are public records in Georgia. Agencies must respond within three business days. The first 15 minutes of staff search time is free.

To request Troup County arrest records, contact the sheriff at 706-883-1616 or email jwoodruff@troupco.org. For county-level administrative records, the county clerk is Valerie West, located at 100 Ridley Avenue, LaGrange, GA 30240. Reach her at 706-883-1610 or vwest@troupco.org.

Georgia Statewide Tools for Troup County Records

Beyond the local inmate search, several Georgia statewide databases cover Troup County. The Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Query is free and covers people who served time in state prisons. Photos display automatically. The Georgia Felon Search through GCIC costs $15 per search and returns instant results for felony convictions statewide.

The GBI Sex Offender Registry covers Troup County registrants alongside the sheriff's own local registry page. Both pull from the same underlying state data. Georgia's law under O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 bars law enforcement from posting booking photos on their own websites. Troup County arrest photos require a formal open records request even if charge and custody data appears in the online inmate search.

The Troup County inmate search at troupcountysheriff.org/home/jail covers current jail inmates and includes the Securus video visitation system for remote jail visits.

Mugshot Removal Rights in Troup County

A Troup County arrest that results in a booking photo showing up on a commercial website can be addressed under Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5. If the arrest is eligible for record restriction, you can send a certified letter demanding free removal within 30 days. The letter must include your full name, date of birth, the date of arrest, and the arresting agency (Troup County Sheriff or LaGrange Police Department, whichever made the arrest). No fee can be charged for qualifying removals.

The Georgia Consumer Protection Division at consumer.georgia.gov has guidance on this process and accepts complaints if a commercial site charges for removal or fails to comply. Georgia passed this law in 2013 and it remains one of the stronger state mugshot removal statutes in the country.
