Official Union County Contacts

UCSO, led by Sheriff Shawn Dyer, operates the Union County Jail and routes county records requests through Admin/Records. The office is at 378 Beasley Street, Blairsville, GA 30512. Admin/Records and the sheriff's main line are 706-439-6066, with weekday hours Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., open through lunch. The jail information line is 706-439-6080. After-hours non-emergency dispatch is 706-439-6038.

For a city arrest, the Blairsville Police Department is at 96 Blue Ridge Street, Blairsville, GA 30512, phone 706-835-1692. Official filings list policedept@blairsville-ga.gov. The city records form asks for a specific record and follows the state response framework.

Where to send each question. The right contact depends on the record and the custody state. A jail phone answer, a booking packet, an incident report, and a court disposition are different documents.

• For a Union County mugshot or booking record, use the countywide search and records path, then call UCSO Admin/Records with a name and narrow date.
• For a selected wanted notice or a possible warrant, use Sheriff's Most Wanted and the warrant-check routes. Do not approach anyone listed.
• For a fresh county arrest report, use the weekly archive described in Mugshots in the News, then verify current custody with the jail.
• For a Blairsville street-arrest or incident report, contact Blairsville Police and give the incident date, location, parties, or report number.
• For a court outcome, use the proper clerk: Union Superior Court and PeachCourt for felony filings, Probate for matters within its jurisdiction, or Blairsville Municipal Court for city matters.
• For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Georgia Department of Corrections offender search.
• For federal or immigration custody, use the BOP locator or ICE detainee locator. Those systems do not answer a county jail question.

What to include in a request. Describe an existing record rather than asking an office to build a new list. Include the person's full name, the arrest or booking date or a narrow range, the arresting agency, and a report or booking number if known. Ask separately for the incident report, jail booking sheet, booking photograph if taken and releasable, and release or transfer entry.

UCSO's records page publishes a $15 criminal-history price, but it does not publish a separate booking-photo price. Request an estimate. Georgia's Open Records Act generally requires production within three business days or a response explaining timing, estimated cost, and any statutory withholding. The county open-records routing page identifies the sheriff's office for arrest and incident requests. The same framework applies to a focused Blairsville city request, subject to the city's form and records custodian.

For a later court outcome, start with the Union County Courts directory rather than the jail. Important records may contain redactions. Ask for all segregable material and the exact exemption cited for a withholding. A records response also does not decide guilt or replace the court disposition.
