East Point Open Records Process
Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives every person the right to inspect and copy public records held by state and local agencies. East Point follows this law for all city departments. The General Assembly has declared open government to be a strong public policy of this state. Records should be made available without delay. This applies to documents, emails, budgets, photographs, and any other file that the city creates or receives in the course of its work.
The city must respond within three business days. That is what O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71 requires. If the city needs more time to find or prepare the records, they must tell you within that three-day window and give an estimated date for completion. The first 15 minutes of staff time are free. After that, the charge is based on the hourly rate of the lowest-paid worker who can pull the records. Paper copies cost 10 cents per page. Digital files may be sent by email at no extra cost if the city has them in electronic form already.
Not every record is public. Some files are exempt under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72. Active law enforcement investigations, medical records, social security numbers, and attorney-client communications can be withheld. If the city denies your request, they must put the reason in writing and cite the specific exemption. You have the right to challenge a denial in Fulton County Superior Court.

Phone Directory for East Point Police
The East Point Police Department handles law enforcement for the city. Police records include incident reports, accident reports, arrest records, and other law enforcement files. These records are available through the open records process, but police requests sometimes go through a separate review step. The department checks for exempt material like active investigation details or witness information before releasing files.
To get a police report, submit a written request through the city's JustFOIA portal or contact the police department directly. You will need to give enough detail so staff can locate the right file. A case number, date of incident, or names of the people involved will help speed things up. Basic reports are usually ready within a few business days. More complex requests may take longer if the department needs to review or redact certain parts of the file.
Some police records may be exempt from disclosure. Active criminal investigations and records that could put someone at risk are protected under state law. If the department denies your request, they must explain why in writing. You can appeal the denial to the courts if you believe the exemption was applied wrong.
