Bulloch County, Georgia, has about 85,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Bulloch County depends on where the incident happened: the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Georgia Open Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Bulloch County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Bulloch County that is the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also places the State Patrol at Statesboro in Bulloch County; a report taken on a state highway by it comes from that agency's own records office.
The FBI's list also carries Georgia Southern University (campus police), with a records office of its own.

What the Georgia Open Records Act Requires
Under the Georgia Open Records Act the agency must answer a request within 3 business days, and it may charge for search, retrieval and copying after the first quarter hour. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
Any other county record goes through the county records request page SearchSystems verified, at bullochcountyclerkofcourt.org/copy-requests (page title: Request Court Records | Bulloch County Clerk of Courts).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 912-489-6622, handles discovery for pending cases.
