Charlton Sheriff and Jail

The sheriff is the primary route for local custody questions and jail-held booking material. Sheriff Robert Phillips is identified by the county and agency sources. Glenda Todd is named for Open Records requests. Public hours for the sheriff's records function were not verified, so call before visiting.

For a booking sheet or existing photograph, use “Other” on the sheriff form and ask for electronic delivery and an advance cost estimate. Request the city incident report separately when a city agency created it.

Which Office Should Hear It?

Routing depends on the record, not just the person's name.

• Current local custody or a county booking: call the sheriff or submit the sheriff's Open Records form.
• Folkston police incident or accident report: contact Folkston City Hall, 541 First Street, Folkston, GA 31537, 912-496-2563, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Its FAQ says reports may be picked up there. The city gives no verified fee or turnaround.
• Homeland city report: contact 401 Pennsylvania Avenue, Homeland, GA 31537, 912-496-7332, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed noon to 1 p.m. No dedicated police records line or copy process was verified.
• State or Superior Court outcome: contact the Charlton clerk, 1520 Third Street, Suite A, Folkston, GA 31537-8961, 912-496-2354, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and use Georgia Courts e-access.
• Sentenced state prisoner: use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search. Written verification is handled by Inmate Records and Information at P.O. Box 1529, Forsyth, GA 31029, 404-656-4661.
• Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP locator, PACER, or the ICE detainee locator, depending on the custody type.

What to Include in a Request

Give the custodian enough detail to locate an existing record without asking the office to create a new report. Include the full name, approximate date, location, arresting agency, case or booking number if known, and the record type. Ask for an electronic copy, an advance estimate, and the specific exemption for any withheld material.

1. Separate the booking record from the booking photograph.
2. Ask the city for a city-created report and the sheriff for jail intake.
3. Use the court record to check the later disposition.
4. Keep a copy of the request and response.

Questions about a legal restriction, sealing, or a removal demand require the prosecutor, clerk, custodian, or a licensed attorney. A private reference service cannot decide eligibility.
