Forsyth County Busted Mugshots is a private reference, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, pull an official booking record, or change a court file. For a real-time answer or an official copy, contact the office that created or keeps the record.
Where to Ask First
Use the office that matches the question. The sheriff holds county jail intake and custody material. Cumming Police holds its own incident and municipal records. The Clerk holds case filings and dispositions. State, federal, and immigration custody use separate systems.
Forsyth County Sheriff's Office
Sheriff: Ron H. Freeman
Headquarters: 100 East Courthouse Square

The sheriff's Open Records and GCIC page explains the request route, and the JustFOIA portal provides electronic submission and tracking. Bonding information lists a 24/7 jail contact at 770-781-2227. Dispatch is 770-781-3087. Emergency calls belong to 911.
Match the Office to the Need
These routes keep a city report, county booking, state profile, and court result from being mixed together:
- For a current inmate, booking sheet, or possible booking photo, use the FCSO roster and Records Unit through the county booking search.
- For a selected wanted listing or a specific warrant question, use FCSO's official warrant contacts described on Wanted Fugitives. The warrant clerk is 770-781-3066.
- For a Cumming incident or arrest report, contact Cumming Police at 481 Merchants Way, Cumming, GA 30040, 770-781-2000, option 3 for records, or records@cummingpd.net. Its office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- For a filed case or disposition, contact the Forsyth County Clerk at 101 East Courthouse Square, First Floor, Suite 1007, Cumming, GA 30040, 770-781-2120, clerkofcourt@forsythco.com.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections Offender Search, not the county jail inquiry.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP or ICE locator. They are separate from Forsyth County Jail and do not provide a county booking photo.
- For a release or transfer alert, use VINE through the sheriff's victim notification instructions.
What to Include in a Request
Give the records unit a narrow, useful description. Include the person's full name, approximate booking or incident date, arresting agency, booking or case number when known, and the exact item requested. Ask for electronic delivery and say whether a redacted copy is acceptable. Do not send unrelated sensitive information. FCSO requests may be verbal or written, but a written JustFOIA request leaves a clear scope and tracking record.
For a Cumming Police request, use the department's open-records form and identify the report, date, time, and incident type. The form notes that costs may apply and does not publish a flat photograph fee or a separate turnaround guarantee. The jail-created intake record ordinarily remains an FCSO matter even when the city police made the arrest.
