Cook County Busted Mugshots is a private reference service, not a government office, sheriff’s office, jail, court, or corrections department. It cannot confirm custody or release, pull or certify an official booking record, arrange a release, or post bond. Direct those questions to the government office that created or holds the record.
Start With Cook County Jail
The current Cook County Sheriff’s Office site lists one main number, separate extensions for the sheriff and jail, and published office hours. It identifies extension 2 for the jail, which is the first call for a person who may be just booked or presently held. A phone answer is not a certified record and may not include a booking photograph.

Open Records Request form
Official sources disagree about the sheriff’s street number. The county sheriff page and county directory publish 1000 County Farm Road, while the current sheriff site publishes 3335 County Farm Road. Call (229) 896-7471 before traveling. Before sending a written request, ask CCSO to confirm its current records custodian and delivery method. The county clerk information above is a published fallback, not a guarantee that the clerk is the sheriff’s custodian. The Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. ยงยง 50-18-70 through 50-18-77, supplies the request framework subject to exemptions. The Attorney General request guidance and its open-government FAQ explain response and cost rules, but no statute guarantees that every requested photograph is releasable.
Where to Look for Each Record
The record owner changes as a case moves from arrest to jail intake, court, or a different custody system. Use the path that matches the question:
- Current Cook custody: call the Cook County Sheriff’s Office at (229) 896-7471, extension 2 for the jail. This is the verified public route for present custody because no official online Cook roster or recent-booking feed was verified.
- Booking sheet or jail photo: ask CCSO for its current written-request route and request the existing booking sheet and associated booking photograph as separate records. If the sheriff supplies no separate route, use the published county form after confirming the proper custodian.
- City police reports: Adel Police Department is at 204 East Third Street, (229) 896-2224, with information on its official page. Sparks Police Department is at 115 East Colquitt Street, (229) 549-8211. Lenox Police Department and City Hall are at 15 East Colquitt Avenue, P.O. Box 560, (229) 546-4252, with a police department page. No official online arrest log was verified for any of the three departments.
- Court case and disposition: Cook Magistrate Court is at 1000 County Farm Road and (229) 896-3151. The Superior Court Clerk is at 212 North Hutchinson Avenue and (229) 896-7717. PeachCourt may provide participating electronic court access, but availability and fees must be checked in the live system.
- Sentenced Georgia custody: use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender search. GDC questions may be sent to Inmate Records and Information, P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029, (404) 656-4661. A GDC photo is a corrections image, not automatically the Cook jail intake photo.
- Federal or immigration custody: use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal sentenced custody and the ICE detainee locator for immigration detention. Neither is a Cook County arrest or booking-photo search.
- Notifications and urgent response: Georgia VINE may provide custody notifications where the event is available, but it does not supply booking photos or a court disposition. Cook E-911 lists (229) 896-8722 for nonurgent dispatch. Call 911 for an emergency.
