Where to Start for Wilkes County Records
For county jail questions, begin with the sheriff-operated Wilkes County Jail / Cecil A. Moore Law Enforcement Center. The county government sheriff listing names Darrell Powers as Sheriff, and official sheriff materials did not show a dedicated Wilkes sheriff records-request form, so call before sending a Georgia Open Records Act request or visiting for a record.
