Find Roswell Jail Mugshots

Roswell jail mugshots go through the Fulton County jail system. Roswell is a city of about 92,000 people in north Fulton County, roughly 25 miles from downtown Atlanta. The Roswell Police Department handles local law enforcement, but when an arrest leads to a jail booking, the person is taken to the Fulton County Jail. That is where the mugshot is taken and stored. Roswell does not operate a city jail for long-term detention, so all booking records end up in the county database.

Roswell Bookings Go to Fulton County

Roswell sits in Fulton County. Every arrest made by the Roswell Police Department that leads to a jail booking is processed at the Fulton County Jail. The main facility is at 901 Rice St NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office manages the jail and all inmate records for the county.

When Roswell police arrest someone, the officer handles the initial processing and then transports the person to the county facility. At the jail, staff takes the mugshot, records identifying information, and enters the charges into the system. Bond is set based on a schedule or by a judge. The booking data then appears in the Fulton County inmate database, which you can search online.

This is how it works for most cities in north Fulton County. Roswell, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, and Johns Creek all send their bookings to the same county jail. If you are not sure where someone was booked after a Roswell arrest, start with the Fulton County search tool.

How to Look Up Roswell Mugshots

Start with the Fulton County inmate search at fcsoga.org/inmate-search. Enter the person's name to see if they are currently in county custody. The results show booking dates, charges, bond amounts, and facility location. This covers all arrests processed through the Fulton County Jail, including those from Roswell.

The GDC search tool shown here covers inmates in the state prison system, which includes people convicted in Fulton County courts.

State inmates who were originally arrested in Roswell and later convicted can be found through this GDC system.

Keep in mind that the county roster only shows current inmates. If someone was booked after a Roswell arrest but later posted bond or was released, they may no longer appear on the roster. For released inmates, an open records request to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office is often the best route. You can also check the GDC offender search for people who went to state prison. The GBI criminal history database covers statewide arrest records.

Georgia Law on Booking Photos

O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 sets the rules for sharing mugshots in Georgia. Law enforcement agencies, including the Roswell Police Department and the Fulton County Sheriff, cannot release booking photos to anyone who will put them on a website that charges for removal. A signed statement is needed when you request a mugshot.

This law protects people who have been arrested in Roswell from mugshot exploitation. Without it, third-party sites could grab booking photos from the county jail and post them online. Some sites still do this, but the law gives you a way to fight back.

The Georgia Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70) still allows you to request public records, but mugshot access is subject to the extra rules in § 35-1-19. If you need a copy of a booking photo for a legal matter, you can request it through proper channels. Just be prepared to sign the written statement about how you plan to use the image.

Removing a Roswell Mugshot from Websites

If your Roswell booking photo appears on a third-party website, Georgia law is on your side. Start by sending a written request to the website asking them to remove it. Keep a record of your request. The site has 30 days to take the photo down.

If they refuse or do not respond, contact the Georgia Consumer Protection Division. File a formal complaint. The state can investigate and take action against sites that violate Georgia law. You do not need to pay any site to remove your mugshot.

Record restriction is another option if your case qualifies. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37, certain arrest records can be restricted from public access. If your Roswell arrest was dismissed, not prosecuted, or otherwise resolved in your favor, you may be eligible. Once restricted, the mugshot and booking data will no longer show up in public database searches. Talk to a lawyer about whether your case qualifies for this.
