Fort Moore and Chattahoochee County

A big part of Chattahoochee County is taken up by Fort Moore. This is a major Army installation that was called Fort Benning until 2023. The military base has its own law enforcement and its own detention facility. People arrested on the base are handled by military police and the federal system, not the Chattahoochee County Jail.

This split matters when you are looking for someone. If the arrest happened on Fort Moore, the person will not be in the Chattahoochee County inmate population. They would be in military custody. If the arrest happened in Cusseta or elsewhere in the civilian part of the county, they would be at the county jail. Understanding this difference will save you time when searching for inmates in Chattahoochee County. Under O.C.G.A. § 50-18-70, the county must share its jail records on request, but federal military records follow different rules.
