Contact Us: Official Ware County Records Routes

Ware County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody, release anyone, post bond, or retrieve official booking records. Contact the agency that created or maintains the record for an authoritative answer.


Start With the Right Ware County Office

Ware County Sheriff's Office and Ware County Jail
3487 Harris Road, Waycross, GA 31503
Business and records starting point: 912-287-4326. Sheriff main: 912-287-4325. Jail: 912-287-4323. The official directory separates these lines. Jail-administration questions are stated on the visitation page to be handled Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Call the business office before relying on the general county request route, and use the sheriff forms page for the agency's published forms. Use 911 for an emergency. The directory lists 912-287-4335 for emergencies outside the 911 calling area.

Use the following list to match the question to the custodian. This site only points the way.

  • Ware booking entry or existing intake photograph: begin with the home guide for Current Inmates, Last 24 Hours, the date-range search, and the records-request steps. The Ware County Open Records Request page and its 2026 form are general county resources. Confirm with 912-287-4326 that a request for a sheriff-held booking record or photo is routed to the correct officer.
  • Case result after booking: use the Ware County court system and Georgia Courts eAccess directory. Ware courts are at 800 Church Street, Waycross, GA 31501, with P.O. Box 776, Waycross, GA 31502, phone 912-490-4340, and hours Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Ask the clerk for the court named in the record and request a certified disposition when needed.
  • Possible warrant or related court question: the Most Wanted page explains the sheriff-first route. Ware has no researched public warrant-search portal here, so call 912-287-4325 or 912-287-4326 and ask what identification details and attendance rules apply. Do not treat a third-party page as warrant confirmation.
  • Waycross police report: contact the Waycross Police Department at 512 Oak Street, Waycross, GA 31501, phone 912-287-2921, or use the City Clerk online request or printable form. City Clerk Jacqualine Powell is listed at jpowell@waycrossga.gov and 912-490-2106, 417 Pendleton Street. The city lists hours Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon. It describes a three-business-day response framework, estimates over $25, and possible prepayment over $500. A jail intake photo likely belongs with the sheriff, not the City Clerk.
  • Current release information or alerts: use the jail line for a custody question and the home roster guide for current status and release-date fields. The sheriff's CodeRED enrollment is a community-alert channel, not a jail roster or photo service.
  • Sentenced Georgia state prisoner: search the Georgia Department of Corrections Find an Offender service. GDC custody and photographs are separate from a Ware County booking entry.
  • Federal or immigration custody: use the BOP Inmate Locator for federal records or the ICE Online Detainee Locator for the distinct immigration system. Neither is a Ware County jail search.
