Marietta Phone Directory for Open Records
Georgia law gives the public a right to inspect and copy most government records. This right comes from O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 through § 50-18-77, known as the Georgia Open Records Act. In Marietta, the city clerk's office coordinates open records requests across all departments. You do not need to give a reason for your request. The law says anyone can ask.
The MPD Records office handles open records requests for police matters. If you need an incident report, accident report, or other police record, your request goes through the Marietta Police Department rather than the city clerk. You can complete your open records request online through the city's SagesGov portal. This online tool lets you submit, track, and receive records without visiting City Hall in person. It works well for both police and general city records.
The city must respond within three business days under state law. There is no charge for the first quarter hour of staff time spent pulling records. After that, fees are based on the hourly pay of the lowest-paid employee who can fulfill the request. Standard copies cost 10 cents per page. If the city denies your request, they must cite the specific exemption under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 that applies.
Put your request in writing. A phone call is fine for asking general questions about what records exist, but the formal process starts with a written request. Email works. So does the online portal.

Marietta is the county seat of Cobb County, so most county offices are right in town. The Cobb County Superior Court Clerk handles civil cases, criminal felony cases, real estate filings, and other court records. The clerk's office is at 70 Haynes Street, Marietta, GA 30090. This is the office to call for case lookups, certified copies, and filing questions at the county level.

Marietta Police Department Phone Directory
The Marietta Police Department is at 240 Lemon Street, Marietta, GA 30060. The non-emergency line is 770-794-5300. Use this number for general questions, not emergencies. For police records specifically, the MPD Records office handles all open records requests related to law enforcement activity within the city.
If you need a copy of an incident report or accident report, start by submitting a request through the SagesGov portal. You can also contact the records office by phone to ask about status, fees, or what information you need to include in your request. Police reports are generally available within a few business days, though active investigation files may be exempt from disclosure under state law.
The Georgia Open Records Act does allow agencies to withhold certain records tied to ongoing investigations. If your request is denied, the department must explain why in writing. O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 lists the specific exemptions that apply. Most routine reports like accident reports and closed case files are public and available upon request.
Marietta Phone Directory Tips
Getting through to the right office in Marietta is usually easier than in larger cities, but a few tips help. Call early in the morning when lines are less busy. The best window is right at 8:00 AM when offices open. Midday tends to be the peak for call volume. If you reach a voicemail, leave a clear message with your name, phone number, and a brief note about what you need. Staff typically return calls within one business day.
For open records, always use the online portal if you can. It creates a paper trail and lets you track progress without making follow-up calls. Written requests are required to start the formal process under the Georgia Open Records Act. A phone call alone does not count as a formal request.
Keep notes on who you speak with and when. This helps if you need to follow up or escalate an issue. Most city and county staff in Marietta are responsive, but having a record of your contact makes things smoother if there is a delay.
