Warner Robins Jail Mugshot Lookup

Warner Robins jail mugshots are processed at the Houston County Detention Center. Warner Robins is the largest city in Houston County with about 86,200 residents and sits next to Robins Air Force Base in central Georgia. The city has its own police department, but arrests get booked at the county jail. The Houston County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center and keeps all booking records. You can search for current inmates online through the sheriff's office portal.

Warner Robins Police Department

The Warner Robins Police Department is the city's main law enforcement agency. Officers patrol the city and handle most local arrests. When someone gets arrested by Warner Robins police, they are taken to the Houston County Detention Center for booking. The police department does not run its own jail or keep a public jail roster. All booking records go through the county system.

The department works closely with the Houston County Sheriff's Office on cases that cross city and county lines. Robins Air Force Base sits right next to the city, and base security handles offenses on federal property separately. If an arrest happened on the base, you would check federal records instead of the county jail.

Where Warner Robins Bookings Go

All Warner Robins arrests get booked at the Houston County Detention Center. The jail opened in 2002 and was built as a direct supervision facility. It holds up to 665 inmates. The Houston County Sheriff's Office runs the detention center and processes bookings from every law enforcement agency in the county. That includes Warner Robins police, Perry police, county deputies, and state patrol.

You can reach the detention center at 478-218-4900. The jail takes bookings 24 hours a day. Every person brought in gets a mugshot during intake. Staff also record charges, bond amount, and personal details. All of this goes into the county system and becomes part of the public record under Georgia law.

A 24-hour medical unit is on site at the Houston County detention center. Correct Health provides mental health services for inmates who need them. The facility holds both pretrial detainees and post-trial inmates serving short sentences or waiting for transfer to state prison.

How to Search Warner Robins Jail Mugshots

The Houston County Sheriff's Office runs a free online inmate locator. Go to houston-so-ga.zuercherportal.com to search for current inmates. You can look up people by name. Results show charges, booking dates, and bond info when available. The tool is free and does not need an account.

The inmate locator covers people currently held at the detention center. Once someone is released, their record may not stay on the active search for long. For older booking records, you would file an open records request with the sheriff's office. Call 478-218-4900 for more details on how to request older records.

Georgia Mugshot Laws in Warner Robins

Jail mugshots from Warner Robins fall under state law. O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19 limits how the Houston County Sheriff's Office can share booking photos. If you ask for a mugshot, you must sign a statement that the photo will not be posted on a site that charges for removal. This law went into effect in 2014 through HB 845.

The Georgia Open Records Act under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives you the right to request booking records from the Houston County detention center. But the specific rules for mugshot photos in § 35-1-19 add conditions beyond what the Open Records Act normally allows. You can get the booking data, but the photo has extra restrictions on its use.

If your arrest in Warner Robins was dismissed or you were found not guilty, O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 may let you restrict your record. Once restricted, the jail mugshot and booking data are sealed from public view. Apply through the arresting agency or the GBI. The process involves paperwork and a fee.

For mugshot exploitation sites, the Georgia Consumer Protection Division handles complaints. Under O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5, sites that post booking photos and charge for removal face penalties.
