What the Officer Lookup covers for Georgia cases.
GA POST certification + employment history
Statewide peace-officer certification and employment records maintained by the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council, agency stints with start and end dates, ranks, and employment-status entries, public under the Georgia Open Records Act and published via the National Police Index (May 2024 snapshot).
Agency stint history
Every agency the officer has worked for in the certification record, including prior agencies the officer left before joining the one on your case, with the employment-status reason recorded on each stint. The published export carries no POST decertification field; certification status must be confirmed with GA POST directly, and the brief maps that demand path.
Records demand roadmap
The paid brief maps which record classes require a separate Georgia Open Records Act demand and to which custodian, GA POST disciplinary case files, Atlanta-metro internal-affairs units, county District Attorney Brady/Giglio lists, and includes a drafted request letter pre-filled with the officer's identifiers. GA POST application contents are confidential and are not requested.
Identity verification checklist
POST rows match on name and agency, never a confirmed identity. Every match result carries a confidence level, and the brief flags same-name candidates so you verify identity before attaching any row to a motion.
What this solves.
- Public officer data is fragmented across opinion text, public-record portals, complaint datasets, and certification exports. The preview tool pulls the Georgia certification layer into one search, including prior agencies the officer left before joining the one on your case.
- The paid brief includes a drafted, statute-cited records-request letter, citing the Georgia Open Records Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq., pre-filled with the officer's identifiers, plus the custodian-by-custodian roadmap for the GA POST disciplinary case file, the local IA file, and the county DA Brady/Giglio list the certification dataset does not hold.
- Every entry carries a citation to the underlying public record, with an identity-verification checklist before you rely on any row or attach it to a motion.

Georgia Officer Lookup, questions from defenders.
- What does the Officer Lookup cover for a Georgia officer?
- Georgia results currently show GA POST certification and employment-history rows only, not local-agency internal affairs complaints or Brady/Giglio lists. The paid brief includes the records-demand roadmap and drafted letters for requesting those separate layers under the Georgia Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70 et seq.).
- What is in the $147 brief?
- For the officer you name: a candidate-match summary, the source-backed GA POST certification and employment-history rows, a records-demand roadmap, an identity-verification checklist, a drafted Georgia Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70) records-request letter, and a source appendix linking each row to its public-record origin, as a citable PDF and DOCX.
- How do I confirm it is the right officer?
- Every match carries an identity-confidence level and multi-agency name hits are flagged. The tool does not certify identity, confirm name, agency, and appointment date against your case discovery before attaching any row to a motion.
- Is this a Brady or Giglio determination?
- No. It surfaces public-record leads for attorney review; it does not make a legal conclusion or replace discovery, Henthorn/Giglio procedures, or local prosecutor disclosure policy. A complaint record is not a finding of misconduct.
- Can I see what the brief looks like first?
- Yes, a sample brief shows the section format with illustrative specimen data, and the live search preview is free and returns real source-backed rows for an officer you enter.
