Search Chamblee Public Records

Chamblee is a city in DeKalb County just northeast of Atlanta. People search records in Chamblee come from two main sources: the city government and DeKalb County. The city runs its own open records portal through JustFOIA, which handles requests for municipal files, police reports, and court data. For bigger cases like felonies and civil lawsuits, you need the DeKalb County Clerk of Superior Court. Georgia's open records law under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 gives the public access to most government files. Chamblee responds to record requests within three business days.

Chamblee Open Records Portal

Chamblee uses JustFOIA for its open records system. The Chamblee JustFOIA portal lets you file a new request, search old requests, and track the status of anything you have already sent in. The City Clerk is the official record keeper. All requests go through this central system.

One of the nice things about the JustFOIA setup is that you can browse past requests. If someone already asked for the same records you want, the response may be sitting right there in the archive. This can save you time on a people search in Chamblee. You do not have to wait for staff to pull files that have already been released to someone else. Just search the portal and see what comes up.

To file a new request, go to the Chamblee new request form and pick the right category. There are options for city records, police records, and court records. The city charges ten cents per page for copies, and the first 15 minutes of staff search time is free under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-71. If you need help, the City Clerk can be reached at (770) 986-5010 or cityclerk@chambleega.gov.

Chamblee Municipal Court Search

The municipal court in Chamblee handles traffic tickets and city code violations. It does not hear felony cases or major civil matters. But for a people search, municipal court records can still be useful. They show who has been cited in the city and for what.

The court is at 3518 Broad Street, Chamblee, GA 30341. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm. Phone is (770) 986-5004. The Chamblee Municipal Court page has info on paying citations online and checking court dates for your Chamblee records search.

You can pay fines through the city's website without going to court. If you need copies of court records for a people search, submit a request through the JustFOIA portal under the court records category. Court files are public in Georgia under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-72 unless they have been sealed by a judge.

Chamblee Police Reports

The Chamblee Police Department has a Records Section that handles public requests for police files. Incident reports, accident reports, and arrest data are all available. You can pick up copies in person at 3518 Broad Street during business hours, or you can file a request through the JustFOIA system.

The Chamblee police reports page explains the process for getting copies of reports. The Records Section is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 5 pm. Call (770) 986-5005 if you have questions about a specific report.

Accident reports list names and addresses of everyone in the crash. Incident reports show who was involved and what happened. These records are some of the most requested files for a people search in Chamblee because they tie real names to dates and locations. If you know someone was involved in an incident in the city, a police report can give you the details you need.

Note: Police records for active investigations may be withheld until the case is closed.

Chamblee City Clerk Records

The City Clerk's office is the hub for all public records in Chamblee. Beyond open records requests, the clerk keeps city council minutes, ordinances, contracts, and other official documents. The Chamblee City Clerk page shows what the office handles and how to get in touch.

The Chamblee official website has links to all city departments if you need to find a specific office for your people search. Council meeting minutes sometimes list names of residents who spoke during public comment, which can be a less obvious path for finding people connected to the area.
