Robins Air Force Base and Felony Records
Warner Robins is closely tied to Robins Air Force Base. The base has its own law enforcement and security forces. Criminal offenses that happen on base are handled by federal authorities and military justice. Off-base felony cases involving military personnel still go through the Houston County court system like any other case.
If you are looking for records of an incident that happened on base, you would need to contact the Air Force Office of Special Investigations or the base legal office. These records are separate from the county court system. For off-base matters, the Warner Robins Police Department and the Houston County court system handle things the same way they would for any civilian.
Record Restrictions
Georgia allows some records to be restricted. Under O.C.G.A. 35-3-37, felony arrest records may be sealed if charges were never filed within four years. The GBI record restrictions page explains the conditions and time frames.
The First Offender Act (O.C.G.A. 42-8-60) lets some first-time offenders seal their conviction after finishing their sentence. Serious violent felonies and sex crimes do not qualify. Contact the Houston County Clerk or a local attorney for help with record restriction.
