Roswell also has a city clerk who keeps official city records, meeting minutes, and ordinances.

These records are public under the Open Records Act and are often posted on the city website as well.

Roswell Phone Directory for Police Records

Police records in Roswell have a separate process from general city records. If your request is for a police report, you must submit a Police Open Records Request through the JustFOIA system. The city makes this clear on its open records page. Requests that cover multiple incidents need separate submissions for each one. This keeps the process organized and helps staff respond faster.

Common police records people ask for in Roswell include accident reports, incident reports, arrest records, and case disposition letters. Most of these are available within a few business days. Reports tied to open investigations may be withheld until the case closes. The police department reviews each request to make sure no exempt details are released. Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 lists the types of information that agencies can withhold, including records from active criminal investigations and certain witness statements.

For criminal case records that have moved to the court system, you need to contact the Fulton County Clerk of Superior Court at (404) 613-5313. The Roswell police department keeps the initial investigation files, but once a case is charged and enters the court, the county clerk takes over the record. Both offices are open on weekdays and follow the same Georgia Open Records Act rules.

Roswell Phone Directory Request Process

The JustFOIA portal is the main way to request records in Roswell. You create a free account, describe what you need, and submit. Include as much detail as you can. Dates, names, and reference numbers all help the staff find the right files. You do not need to give a reason for your request. Georgia law says the records belong to the public, and you do not have to explain why you want them.

The city has three business days to respond under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. They can release the records, give you a timeline for when the records will be ready, or deny the request with a citation to the specific legal exemption that applies. Denials are rare for routine requests. Most records in Roswell are available without any issues.

Fees depend on the size and type of request. Georgia law at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71 allows agencies to charge for the actual cost of searching, retrieving, and copying records. Electronic copies sent through the JustFOIA portal are usually cheaper than paper. The city will let you know the cost before starting work on larger requests. Small requests for a single document or report are often free or just a few dollars.

Roswell Phone Directory and State Law

Georgia's Open Records Act covers every city office in Roswell. The law at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 says public records are the property of the citizens of Georgia. Government offices hold those records as custodians and must make them available for inspection and copying. The only exceptions are listed at O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 and include things like active criminal investigations, certain medical records, and personnel evaluations.

Roswell has done a good job making the process accessible. The JustFOIA platform gives requesters a clear way to submit, track, and receive records. Every step is logged in the system, which creates a record that both sides can refer to if there is a disagreement about timing or content. If the city denies a request, you have the right to go to court. The losing party may have to pay the other side's attorney fees, which gives everyone a reason to play by the rules.

For state-level records that tie into a Roswell search, the Georgia Secretary of State website at sos.ga.gov can help with business filings, professional license lookups, and campaign finance records. The GSCCCA system at gsccca.org covers real estate and court records at the county level. Between the city's JustFOIA portal, the county clerk, and the state databases, most public records that touch Roswell are within reach online.
