Records 

The Records' personnel maintain the archives of all the jail records. Due to the extensive history available, these records are available in a variety of formats. Some records are maintained on microfiche and others are digitally preserved. There are over 258,000 individuals and over 340,000 bookings maintained electronically.

There are personnel, assigned to the Film Processing Section, responsible for the development and cataloguing of photographs. The Sheriff's Office has its own full service mini-lab. The agency personnel process film for the Evidence Tech Section, general photography for the Sheriff's Office, Cobb County Police Department, Cobb County Communications Department, Cobb County Code Enforcement, and many other county departments and city municipalities.

The Sheriff's Office employs a digital mugshot system. This captures the individual's photograph at the time of booking and stores the information on a computer. This affords our agency an indispensable tool providing quick search and retrieve times. This system also enables the unit to compose digital line-ups utilizing virtually any type of photo. This service is requested by other agencies across the state.

These personnel also provide local, state, and national criminal background checks for employment purposes. If you would like more information on obtaining a criminal background check, please click here.

In 2002, the Drug Lab Unit made its test results available on an Intranet site. The site provides access to the District Attorney's Office, Solicitor General's Office, Juvenile Court, and the Cobb County Police Department. This enhancement makes the information available to the necessary personnel at their leisure. It removes from the judiciary process any bottlenecks that may be caused in moving papers through the grand judicial system. Read More...
