NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a local, Georgia, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify criminal-record resources in DeKalb County, Georgia. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government connection. We do not hold official criminal records, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
The content identifies DeKalb County record custodians, including the Sheriff, criminal court clerks, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's Georgia Crime Information Center, and the Georgia Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors with outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use of the website is conditioned on the following limits. You must not:
- Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
- Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
- Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
- Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
- Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
- Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to harass, stalk, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct is prohibited and may also be criminal. This warning is especially important for Georgia Sex Offender Registry data. Georgia law limits misuse, and a registry listing is provided for lawful public-safety awareness, never vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or any other consumer report. Our advertising partners likewise do not provide tools here for applicant, rental, insurance, or credit decisions. Data obtained from this site or a linked service must not be used to:
- Decide whether to hire or fire someone
- Screen potential renters or housing applicants
- Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
- Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
- Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules
A check needed for an FCRA-governed purpose must be obtained through an appropriate official process or a compliant consumer reporting company. Georgia authorized fingerprint checks use Georgia Applicant Processing Service when the responsible program provides an agency code.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is not legal advice. General information about DeKalb County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, record restriction, or sealing rule applies to a particular matter. Seek advice from a licensed Georgia attorney.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are provided "as is." We make no promise that:
- The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
- The site will stay up and running without interruptions
- Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
- Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate
Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and as records are restricted, sealed, or corrected. Updates may not appear here at once, and gaps can occur. No statement on this website is an official statement from a court, sheriff, or government agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to Sheriff pages, court portals, Georgia agencies, legal-aid organizations, and outside search services. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their content, data handling, prices, or availability. Review an outside provider's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to DeKalb County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create another work without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of the site, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to hold us harmless against claims, proceedings, or demands caused by your use of the website or violation of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.
11. Governing Law
Georgia law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Georgia. Public-record access remains governed by the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-77, and Georgia criminal-history dissemination by O.C.G.A. §§ 35-3-34 and 35-3-35.

We may revise these terms at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be limited or terminated at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.
14. Severability
If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be narrowed only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
