Conyers, Georgia, in Rockdale County, has about 20,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city 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 Rockdale County Superior Court. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Conyers
The FBI lists Conyers with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Conyers Police Department. It reported 736 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 996 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Conyers Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Conyers: 736 for 2025, 687 for 2024, 694 for 2023 and 1,288 for 2022.

Across Rockdale County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,732 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Conyers Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Conyers 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.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 340 people on an average day, down from about 370 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 758 beds, and it is running at 44 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Georgia Department of Corrections, whose inmate locator is at gdc.georgia.gov/offender-info/find-offender.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Conyers
For Conyers the place to look is the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at rockdalecountyga.gov/document/district-attorneys-office-da).
Georgia is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: Georgia Felon Search lets anyone check felony convictions online by name, through the Georgia Crime Information Center. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Conyers
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Georgia Open Records Act the agency must answer within 3 business days, and it may charge for search, retrieval and copying after the first quarter hour.
