That page is the office's jail information page rather than a roster.

Who Books People Into the Carroll County Jail
The Carroll County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Villa Rica (filed by the FBI as Villa Rica Police Department) make the arrests that end in a booking in and around Villa Rica.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Carroll County: the University of West Georgia (campus police); the State Patrol at Villa Rica (state police).
The Bremen Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Carroll County, so its arrests are not broken out for Carroll County here.
The largest arrest counts reported to the FBI were Carrollton's 1,131 for 2025, Villa Rica's 819 for 2023 and the Carroll County Sheriff's Office's 702 for 2025.
Together, the six agencies in Carroll County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,893 arrests to the FBI that year. Those kept in custody were booked into the county jail; a person cited and released at the scene was not.
The counts, agency by agency and year by year, are in Villa Rica arrest records.
From the Jail to State Prison
A sentence of more than a year is served in state prison, not the jail; the Georgia Department of Corrections lists its inmates at gdc.georgia.gov/offender-info/find-offender.
