Bryan County Sheriff Booking Office

The Bryan County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and manages all booking records in this jurisdiction. Their office is at 95 Carter Street in Pembroke, GA 31321.

Every arrest in Bryan County goes through the sheriff's jail for processing. Local police departments in the area, including those in Richmond Hill and Pembroke, transport arrested individuals to the Bryan County jail. Once there, jail staff collects the person's information, records the charges, and enters the data into the booking system. The result is a booking record that includes the inmate's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and booking date. This is how Bryan County tracks everyone who comes through the jail.

Bryan County sits just west of Chatham County and the city of Savannah. The area has grown a lot as people move from Savannah into the suburbs. This growth means more calls for service and more bookings at the Bryan County jail. The sheriff's office keeps up with demand and maintains records for all arrests made in the jurisdiction.

The Bryan County Sheriff's website provides contact details, jail information, and resources for families of inmates booked at the facility in Pembroke.

Note: Bryan County does not currently offer an online inmate search portal, so you need to call or visit the jail to check on recent bookings.

They can look up recent bookings for you and provide details about anyone currently held at the jail. This is a straightforward process.

Bryan County Open 24 Hour Booking Records Requests

Georgia's Open Records Act gives you the right to access booking records from the Bryan County jail. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 defines public records broadly. Booking logs, arrest reports, and jail intake records all fall under this law. You can request these records from the Bryan County Sheriff's Office. The request can be made in writing or orally under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. The office must respond within three business days.

The Bryan County jail may charge fees for searching and copying records. The first 15 minutes of search time are free. After that, the charge is based on the hourly salary of the lowest paid employee qualified to do the work. Copies run about $0.10 per page across most Georgia agencies. If the total cost will go past $500, Bryan County can ask you to pay up front. Personal details like social security numbers and bank account data get redacted from booking records before they are released, per O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72.

Initial arrest reports remain public under Georgia law even if there is an active investigation. This means basic 24 hour booking data from the Bryan County jail stays accessible. Only certain investigative details can be held back. The Governor's Office open records page has more details on how the process works statewide, though that office does not hold jail booking records itself.

Note: Bryan County must respond to open records requests within three business days, but they can take more time if the request is large or involves many records.

How Bryan County Jail Booking Works

The booking process at the Bryan County jail follows the same basic steps used at jails across Georgia. When an officer brings someone in, jail staff starts the intake. They take the person's photo, collect basic identification details, and log the charges from the arrest report. Bond amounts are set based on the charges or a bond schedule. All of this information goes into the Bryan County booking record for that arrest.

A typical Bryan County 24 hour booking record includes:

• Full legal name of the arrested person
• Date of birth and physical description
• Charges at the time of booking
• Bond amount if one has been set
• Arresting agency and booking date

After booking is complete, the person is housed at the Bryan County jail until they post bond, go to court, or get transferred. Release information gets added to the record when applicable. The sheriff's office keeps all of these records on file. They are part of the public record under Georgia law. Anyone can ask to see them through the open records process.

Criminal History and Bryan County 24 Hour Bookings

A booking record shows a single arrest event. A criminal history record is broader. It shows every arrest, court outcome, and custody event for a person across the state. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation maintains these records through the Georgia Crime Information Center. If you need more than just the 24 hour booking data from Bryan County, a criminal history check may give you the full picture.

You can get your own Georgia criminal history from the Bryan County Sheriff's Office or from most law enforcement agencies in the state. Under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-34, you can also get the criminal history of another person with their signed consent. Felony conviction records are accessible to the public without consent under subsection (d.2) of that same statute. For fingerprint-based background checks, the Georgia Applicant Processing Service processes results in 24 to 48 hours. Contact them at (404) 244-2639 option 2.

Record restriction under O.C.G.A. § 35-3-37 lets people seal certain arrests on their Georgia criminal history. Once restricted, those records are no longer visible to private individuals or businesses. The Bryan County Sheriff's Office follows these state rules like every other agency in Georgia.

24 Hour Booking Photos in Bryan County

Georgia has specific rules about booking photographs. O.C.G.A. § 35-1-18 bars law enforcement agencies from posting mugshots on a website. This applies to the Bryan County Sheriff's Office and every other agency in the state. A booking photo is any image taken during arrest processing or jail intake. The law exists to prevent exploitation by third-party websites that charge people to remove their photos.

If you need a booking photo from the Bryan County jail, you must submit a written statement saying you will not post it to a pay-for-removal website. False statements are a violation of O.C.G.A. § 16-10-20. For photos already posted on third-party sites, O.C.G.A. § 10-1-393.5 gives you the right to request removal free of charge if the arrest qualifies for record restriction. The site must take the photo down within 30 days. File complaints about non-compliance with the Georgia Department of Law's Consumer Protection Division.
