Forsyth County · Cumming · Johns Creek, GA
Johns Creek has its own police department and no jail of its own. That single fact is why families spend the first hour of a bad night ringing the wrong building. Call us with a name and we will find them.
Johns Creek is a city of roughly eighty thousand people in north Fulton County, right against the Forsyth line. It has its own police force. It does not have its own jail. People arrested by Johns Creek officers are transported to a Fulton County facility for booking, and depending on the circumstances of the arrest that can be more than one building.
Because the city sits on a county line, it is also common for a stop that started on one side to end in booking on the other. If a friend or family member was picked up somewhere between Medlock Bridge and McGinnis Ferry, the honest answer is that you cannot be sure where they are until somebody checks.
That check takes us a few minutes. Give us the full legal name and date of birth and we will locate the booking rather than leaving you to work a phone tree.
We are a Forsyth County agency and we make no secret of it — our office is on Samaritan Drive in Cumming. What we bring to a Johns Creek call is the part that actually saves time: locating the booking, telling you whether a bond has been set, quoting the premium honestly at the Georgia maximum of 15%, and taking the paperwork where it needs to go.
If the arrest is on the Forsyth side of the line, we handle it end to end at the Forsyth County Jail. If it is a Fulton booking, tell us and we will be straight with you about what we can and cannot do tonight rather than taking a premium and hoping.
