Dade County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, confirm a release, post bond, or pull an official booking record. Contact the agency or court that holds the record for an authoritative answer.
Start With the Right Office
The Dade County Jail resource page does not currently provide a working public inmate list. Use the detention line for a current custody question. For a document, make a focused request to the Sheriff's Office under the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. §§ 50-18-70 through 50-18-77. Identify the person, approximate booking date, arresting agency if known, and existing record requested. A booking-photo request may also require the affirmation described by O.C.G.A. § 35-1-19.
The jail page gives the following local contact details. Its posted schedule is Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern, and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Eastern, excluding holidays. Call before traveling because office schedules can change.

Where Each Question Belongs
A custody question and a case-outcome question are not the same request. Use the record holder that covers the relevant stage.
- For a person who may be in Dade County Jail, call Dade detention at 706-657-2277. The online page has no live roster.
- For an arrest report, booking record, release record, or existing booking photograph, email the Dade County Sheriff's Office records contact at Info@dadesheriff.com.
- For a filing, docket event, or disposition, contact the Clerk of Superior and Juvenile Courts, 255 W. Crabtree Street, Suite 103, Trenton, GA 30752, P.O. Box 417, phone 706-657-4778, fax 706-657-8284. The Clerk's website links to the Court Docket.
- For a Trenton Police incident or arrest record, ask City Hall to route the request to the police records custodian. City Hall is at 12882 N. Main Street, Trenton, GA 30752, phone 706-657-4167, fax 706-657-7228, email custserv@trentonga.gov.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender search. It does not cover the full population of recent Dade arrestees.
- For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator. For immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither is a Dade County booking roster.
Request Details Before Sending
Ask for an existing record rather than asking an agency to create a new report. A narrow date range, full name, booking number, inmate number, arresting agency, or case number can help the custodian locate the right file. The Open Records Act generally requires a response or production path within three business days, subject to lawful exemptions and the nature of the request.
Dade's form uses a $25 estimate or authorization trigger. Under state law, the first fifteen minutes of qualified retrieval or redaction labor are free; later labor may be charged at the lowest-paid qualified employee's prorated rate. Ordinary paper copies are capped at ten cents per page, with actual media cost and possible prepayment above $500. No Dade Sheriff flat fee for a booking photograph is posted. Request an estimate before agreeing to costs.
