Forsyth County · Cumming · Johns Creek, GA
One county, one jail, roughly 283,000 people and a single booking desk in Cumming. Wherever in Forsyth the arrest happened, we know the building it ends up in and the people working the counter.
It does not matter which agency made the arrest. The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office, the Cumming Police Department, the Georgia State Patrol working GA-400, a school resource officer, a DNR ranger on Lake Lanier — all of them transport to the Forsyth County Jail at 202 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Cumming.
That simplifies your night considerably. You do not need to work out jurisdiction, and you do not need to drive to three buildings. You need a name, a date of birth and a phone call.
Forsyth has exactly one incorporated city. Everything else is unincorporated county, and we post bonds across all of it.
Cumming, Sharon Springs, Vickery, Midway, Big Creek, Shady Grove, Windermere and the GA-400 corridor down to the Fulton line.
Coal Mountain, Matt, Silver City, Chestatee and the Highway 9 and GA-369 corridors toward Dawson and Lumpkin.
Ducktown, Browns Bridge, Two Mile Creek, Little Mill and the Lake Lanier shoreline over toward Hall County.
Postal codes we work every week: 30028, 30040 and 30041 in Forsyth, plus 30024 and 30097 where the county meets Suwanee, Duluth and Johns Creek.
The GA-400 corridor drives a lot of what we see. DUI stops between exits 13 and 18, particularly on weekend nights and after events at the Cumming Fairgrounds. Retail theft from the shopping centres along Market Place Boulevard and Peachtree Parkway. Drug possession arrests out of traffic stops. Family violence calls that are the same anywhere in America.
The county has grown fast, and that shows up at the jail. A quiet Tuesday and a busy Saturday are not the same building. We factor that in when we tell you how long a release is likely to take, rather than quoting you a number that sounds good on the phone.
Read the courthouse rules before the first appearance date — dress code, phones and arrival times catch people out, and being turned away at security counts as failing to appear.
