How Pulaski County Booking Records Work

Each booking at the Pulaski County jail creates a record. The record has the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, arresting officer, and booking date. A mugshot is taken. When the person leaves custody, the release date and reason are added. This full record stays on file. Even years later, the sheriff's office can pull it up.

These are public records under Georgia law. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 defines what counts as a public record in the state. Booking logs and arrest reports fall into that category. Some information may be redacted, like medical data or social security numbers. But the core facts about who was booked, what they were charged with, and when they were released are open to the public in Pulaski County.

Pulaski County is in the Houston Judicial Circuit. Court records for cases that start with a Pulaski County arrest go through this circuit. The booking record from the jail and the court record from the clerk of court are two different files that often relate to the same case. If you need both, you may have to make separate requests.
