Sex Offender Search and Lookup
Any person convicted of sex-related crimes such as rape, prostitution, sexual assault, child pornography, sex trafficking, and sexual abuse is a sex offender. Sex offenders are required to get registered with the state or county’s sex offender register. Those who don’t register with the state may be charged with a felony.
Bail and Bondsman
A bail bond is a written promise to appear in court at the scheduled time and date, as ordered by the court, to answer the criminal charges which resulted in the arrest.
The actual bail bond document is signed by the Defendant (the arrested person) and the Surety (the person who posted the cash bond and/or the person whose name is on the cash bond receipt) to ensure that a criminal defendant will appear in court. The bail amount is set by the court.
If a bail bond is allowed, an arrested person can “post bond” and “bail out” of jail (avoid being jailed during the period before trial). A bail bond is forfeited if the defendant does not appear at all appointed court hearings.
A bond can be posted by the arrested person, family member, friend, or through a professional bonding company’s bail bond agent.
Non-refundable Fees
The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office is required by state law to charge a $20.00 non-refundable fee on all bonds. Professional bonding companies are authorized by law to charge 12% of bonds set in the amount of $10,000 or less, and 15% of bonds set over the amount of $10,000. This is compensation as surety on criminal bonds. The fee is only refundable in the event that a professional bonding company surrenders the defendant “off-bond” of its own choice prior to the court date.
These are the options for posting bonds:
Cash Bond
Professional Bonding Company
Property Bond

A cash bond is the total face value of the bond, plus required penalties, in cash. The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office will accept only the following as cash bond: cashier’s checks, traveler’s checks, US Postal Service or Western Union Money Orders, and United States currency. The Sheriff’s Office does NOT accept personal checks for a cash bond.
Professional Bonding Company
