Candler County Contacts

This is a private reference page, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, pull an official booking record, release anyone, or take a payment. The contacts below point questions to the Candler County office, city department, court, state corrections agency, or federal locator that can answer them.

Candler County Busted Mugshots does not control the jail, sheriff, police department, court, or corrections system. For a current answer or an official document, contact the record holder directly.


Who to Call for a Record

Choose the office by record type. The Candler County Jail has no verified public web roster, so current custody is a phone question. A booking sheet or associated photograph is a records-request question. An incident report belongs with the arresting agency, and a case outcome belongs with the court.

Where Each Question Belongs

Start with the narrowest office that can hold the record. Giving a custodian a date and agency helps avoid a name-only match.

  • Current county custody: call the jail at 912-685-2291. A failed web search cannot prove release or transfer.
  • A booking sheet or photo: use the CCSO records form and ask for the existing record categories separately.
  • A Metter incident report: contact the City of Metter Police Department at 805 E. Lillian Street or 912-685-5437. Its page directs dispatch calls to 912-685-2291.
  • A Pulaski incident: contact Town Hall at 103 East Railroad Street or 912-685-7617 to confirm the responsible agency. No current separate police records route was verified.
  • A court outcome: search Candler Superior and State Court through Georgia Courts E-Access, then ask the Clerk if needed.
  • A state-sentenced person: use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender query. GDC records verification is at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029, 404-656-4661.
  • Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP or ICE locator for that agency. A county hold or quarterly number is not an individual custody answer.

Tips and Immediate Danger

For information about a possible incident, use the CCSO Crime Tips form or call 912-685-8649. CCSO says submitted information is kept confidential, but the reviewed source does not promise anonymity or a reward. Call 911 for an immediate threat. Do not approach someone because of a wanted claim, booking image, or news post.

Questions about a warrant should go to CCSO dispatch, the relevant court, or a lawyer. A public docket is not definitive active-warrant clearance, and a news article cannot replace the issuing court's record.
