Arrest records are those set of records maintained by law enforcement agencies pursuant to law. These records are tabs that the law enforcement agencies use in order to facilitate their mandate to protect and serve the people. These public records are relatively easy to obtain for the public given their public nature and contain not only personal information but also arrest information, final disposition of judicial cases and incarceration records, if the person to whom the records pertain to had been arrested before.

In Douglas County, Georgia, the primary law enforcement agency tasked with frontline law enforcement is the Sheriff’s Office. Pursuant to their mandate, the sheriff and his deputies are not only called to enforce the law but also to provide service to the people. It is in connection with this mandate that the Office of the Sheriff provides background checks for both residents and non residents of Douglas County.

The procedure for Douglas County Sheriff Office to conduct a background check is simple and less time-consuming. This is because a person who desires to conduct a background check has to personally appear at the Douglas County Sheriff Office Records Division. A person who wishes to conduct a background check would have to provide an identification card with pictures. It must be noted that a Social Security Card is not acceptable for this procedure. The searcher also has to leave his personal information on file with the office, and finally, as a final requirement, the searcher has to pay for the search. The rate for residents and nonresidents of Douglas County are the same at twenty dollars.

The nature of the search at the records office, however, would be slow given the fact that it would be a physical search. Under Georgia law, it is possible for electronic copies of arrest records to be obtained even without the consent of the person to whom the records pertain to, but the use of this service is at the state level and could be quite costly at fifteen dollars per search.

Perhaps the more efficient method to search for background information would be to take the search online using specialized online databases that have nothing to do with the government. These specialized online search databases are often more efficient than their government operated counterparts because they are often free and they provide information not limited to only arrest records.
