This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated reference site cannot retrieve or correct a criminal record, perform an official background check, or accept a record-restriction filing. Those services must come from the responsible government agency.
Need an Official Record?
Use the following Johnson County contacts for official records:
- Court case files: use the criminal court cases resource or call the Johnson County Clerk of Superior Court at 478-864-3484; the counter is at 2557 East Elm Street, Wrightsville, Georgia 31096
- Arrest, booking, and jail records: contact the Johnson County Sheriff's Office at 230 Donovan Harrison Road, Wrightsville, Georgia 31096, 478-864-4003; custody questions may also go to the jail at 478-864-4100
- Police incident reports: ask the agency that created the report; Wrightsville Police Department is at 2212 West Elm Street and can be reached at 478-864-2180
- State criminal histories: follow the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia Crime Information Center process; Georgia Felon Search is limited to possible matches for final Georgia felony convictions
- Record restriction: pre-July 2013 arrests generally begin with the arresting agency, while later arrests begin with the prosecutor; a separate court-sealing petition may go to the clerk
- 911 records: for events on or after March 18, 2024, use the Johnson County 911 Center request form and custodian channel; earlier records remain with the agency that created them
The sheriff and clerk have different files. Call before traveling because the clerk sources publish both 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. opening times, and the clerk states that it does not correspond by email. County administration at 2484 West Elm Street, 478-864-3388, can route a general request but is not a substitute for the record custodian.
