Bulloch County Sheriff and Statesboro
Statesboro is the county seat of Bulloch County in southeast Georgia. It is home to Georgia Southern University, which brings a large student population to the area. The Statesboro Police Department handles law enforcement within city limits. But the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office runs the county jail and manages all booking and release records. If someone gets arrested in Statesboro, they end up at the Bulloch County jail.
The jail staff create a record for each booking. It includes the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and arrest date. When the person gets released, the record stays on file. It becomes a released inmate record. The Bulloch County Sheriff's Office holds these files and makes them available to the public under Georgia law.
Because of the university, Statesboro sees a mix of local and student-related arrests. All of them go through the same county system. The sheriff's office does not separate records by city. You search the county database, and Statesboro arrests show up alongside those from other parts of Bulloch County.
