Warner Robins Arrest Records

Warner Robins arrest records are created by the city police department and stored at the county level through the Houston County Sheriff's Office. Warner Robins has about 86,000 residents and is the largest city in Houston County. The city police handle arrests within its limits, while the Houston County Sheriff runs the county jail and manages booking records. Warner Robins is also home to Robins Air Force Base, which has its own federal jurisdiction. Searching for arrest records here means knowing which agency handled the case.

Warner Robins Police Department Records

The Warner Robins Police Department is at 100 Public Square, Warner Robins, GA 31088. The non-emergency number is 478-302-5370. WRPD officers make arrests within city limits and file the initial reports. The City of Warner Robins website has information about the police department and other city services.

Each arrest generates a report that includes the person's name, charges, date of arrest, and the officer involved. After the arrest, the person goes to the Houston County jail for booking. The jail creates a separate set of records with intake data. So the arrest report is with WRPD, and the booking records sit with Houston County. Both agencies have their own process for releasing records to the public. For recent arrests, start with the police department. For booking details and current inmate status, contact the Houston County Sheriff.

Houston County Jail and Warner Robins Bookings

The Houston County Sheriff runs the jail where Warner Robins arrests get processed. Once WRPD makes an arrest, the person is transported to the county jail for intake. The booking log records the charges, the date and time, and personal details about the person. These logs are public records.

You can contact the Houston County Sheriff's Office to check on someone in custody or to request copies of booking records. For current inmates, call the jail directly. They can confirm whether someone is being held and what charges they face. For copies of older Warner Robins arrest records that went through the Houston County system, file a written request. Include the full name and arrest date. The office can charge a copy fee.

Note: Arrests on Robins Air Force Base are federal matters and do not go through Warner Robins or Houston County.
