Bibb County, Alabama, has about 22,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Bibb County Sheriff's Office and four city agencies. An arrest leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the Bibb County Circuit Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Bibb County
The Bibb County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Bibb County. It reported 48 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside four of the county's cities are reported to the FBI by an agency of the city's own, listed here with the Census population and what each reported:
- Brent, 4,074 residents: 227 arrests reported for 2025.
- Centreville, 2,721 residents: 132 arrests reported for 2025.
- Woodstock, 1,616 residents: 112 arrests reported for 2025.
- West Blocton, 1,197 residents: 85 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
The Vance Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Bibb County, so its arrests are not broken out for Bibb County here.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Bibb County Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Bibb County and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2019 the jail held about 48 people. Its rated capacity in 2019 was 47 beds, and it ran at 102 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Bibb County
For Bibb County the place to look is the case index of the Bibb County Circuit Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at bibb.alacourt.gov, phone (205) 926-3103).
Statewide, Alacourt is the statewide online index of Alabama trial court cases, sold by subscription.
Alabama does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Bibb County
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
