Find Stockbridge Jail Mugshots

Stockbridge jail mugshots are processed through the Henry County jail system. Stockbridge is the largest city in Henry County, southeast of Atlanta, with a population of about 35,893. The city has its own police department, but all booking and intake happens at the county level. The Henry County Sheriff's Office runs an online inmate search that lets you look up current Stockbridge jail mugshots at no cost. This page walks you through the search process, explains the legal rules, and shows you where else to look for records.

Stockbridge Police Department

The Stockbridge Police Department serves the city and makes arrests within its jurisdiction. The department handles patrol, investigations, and traffic enforcement. When someone is arrested in Stockbridge, officers transport them to the Henry County jail in McDonough for booking.

The Stockbridge Police website provides information about the department, its divisions, and community programs. The screenshot below shows the Stockbridge Police Department's online presence.

From this site you can find contact info and details about the department. For actual jail mugshot searches, though, you go to the Henry County system since that is where the booking records live.

Stockbridge does not have its own jail. The city relies on Henry County for all detention and booking services. At the Henry County jail, intake staff take a mugshot, collect fingerprints, and record the charges. The booking record shows which agency made the arrest, so Stockbridge arrests are marked as coming from the city police.

Search Stockbridge Jail Mugshots Online

Henry County provides an online inmate search tool that covers all bookings in the county. This includes people arrested by the Stockbridge Police Department. You can search by name, booking number, or date range. Results show the booking photo, charges, custody status, and other details.

The tool is free. No account is required. It works best for current and recent inmates. If someone posted bond or was released, their record may not appear in the active search anymore. For older Stockbridge jail mugshots, you would need to contact the Henry County Sheriff's Office and make a records request.

Henry County has seen steady population growth over the last several years. More people means more activity in the jail system. The inmate search gets a fair amount of use from the public. It is one of the better county jail search tools in the metro Atlanta area because it includes a date range filter and other search options.

The Georgia Department of Corrections offender search is the other main tool. It covers state prison inmates. Anyone arrested in Stockbridge who later gets convicted and sent to a state facility will show up in the GDC database. The GDC search shows photos, charges, sentence length, and which prison holds them.

Use the GDC search above for state prisoners. Use the Henry County inmate search for local jail bookings from Stockbridge.

Stockbridge Mugshot Laws

Georgia has specific rules about jail mugshot distribution. O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 prevents law enforcement from releasing booking photos to websites that charge money for removal. The Henry County Sheriff's Office follows this law for all mugshot requests. If you ask for a copy of a Stockbridge jail mugshot, you will need to sign a form saying the image will not go on a pay-to-remove site.

The Georgia Open Records Act at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 still allows the public to request jail records. Booking logs, mugshots, and arrest data are government records that the public has a right to see. The county must respond within three business days. Copies cost 10 cents per page under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71.

If a third-party site posts your Stockbridge booking photo and asks for payment to take it down, Georgia law is on your side. Write to the site and ask for removal. They have 30 days. If they do not take it down, report them to the Georgia Consumer Protection Division. The state enforces these rules.

GBI Background Checks

A jail mugshot search gives you data from one county. For a wider search, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation runs statewide criminal history checks through the Georgia Crime Information Center. This pulls arrest and court records from all 159 counties. The GBI check costs a fee and gives you a more complete picture than any single county search.

This is useful for Stockbridge residents who may have records in multiple counties across Georgia. Henry County's inmate search only covers Henry County. The GBI check covers the whole state.

Sealing a Stockbridge Arrest Record

Georgia law allows record restriction in certain cases. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37, if your arrest in Stockbridge did not result in a conviction, you can petition to have the record sealed. This applies when charges were dropped, dismissed, or you were acquitted at trial. The sealed records include the jail mugshot, booking data, and fingerprints.

File the petition with the Henry County Superior Court in McDonough. Provide the case number and its final outcome. A judge reviews the petition and issues an order if the case qualifies. The Henry County Sheriff's Office and GBI then restrict the data. It takes weeks to months depending on the court's schedule. Lawyers can help speed things up, but you can file on your own if you prefer.
