Floyd County Sheriff and Rome Records
Rome is the county seat of Floyd County in northwest Georgia. The Floyd County Sheriff's Office is based here and operates the county jail. When someone gets arrested in Rome, they are booked into the Floyd County jail. The Rome Police Department handles law enforcement within city limits, but the sheriff takes over once a person is booked. All released inmates data for Rome sits with the Floyd County Sheriff's Office.
The Floyd County jail serves Rome and the rest of the county. It processes bookings from sheriff's deputies, Rome police, and other local law enforcement. Each booking makes a record that shows the person's name, charges, date of birth, bond amount, and when they came in. When the person gets out, the record stays on file. It becomes a released inmate record that is available to the public.
You can reach the Floyd County Sheriff's Office at (706) 291-4111. The office is at 2 Government Plaza in Rome. Staff can help with questions about inmates and released inmates records. The Rome Police Department is at (706) 238-5100 for arrest reports made by city officers. But for jail records, you go through the county sheriff.
