Troup County, Georgia, has about 72,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Troup County Sheriff's Office, three city agencies and one state agency. 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 Troup County Superior 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 Troup County
The Troup County Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Troup County. It reported 516 arrests for 2025.
Arrests inside three 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:
- LaGrange, 33,564 residents: 3,369 arrests reported for 2025.
- West Point, 3,602 residents.
- Hogansville, 3,222 residents: 152 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 FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Troup County: the State Patrol at La Grange (state police).
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Troup County
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.

Booking: Where People Arrested in Troup County Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Troup County is held at the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
So far in 2026 the jail has held about 650 people on an average day, up from about 530 in 2019. Its rated capacity is 746 beds, and it is running at 87 percent of it. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Troup County
An arrest in Troup County can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Troup County Superior Court, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at troupcountyga.gov/courts/clerk_of_superior_state_courts/index.php, phone 706 883 1740); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at troupcountyga.gov/Courts/Solicitor, phone 706-883-1726).
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 Troup 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. 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.
- An arrest by the Troup County Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in LaGrange, West Point or Hogansville: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city; the city guides linked above name each city's records office.
- An arrest by the State Patrol at La Grange: the records office of the agency involved.
- A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, 706-883-1726, handles discovery for pending cases.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the Troup County Superior Court, through the court records page at troupcountyga.gov, phone 706 883 1740.
- Any county record that is not posted: the county records request page SearchSystems verified is at troupcountyga.govqa.us (page title: Troup County, GA | Public Records).
