🔍 Active Investigations: Georgia law does not prohibit law enforcement agencies from releasing information about active investigations, but many police departments have this policy.
Georgia law says that police don’t have to share records from an ongoing investigation or court case about a crime. But they do have to release the first police report and arrest report. This means that while the law allows police to keep some information private, it does not force them to. Each police department decides its own rules about sharing details during an active investigation.
