Question: How do I get a copy of a report?

Question: Where was my car taken to? How do I get it back?

Answer: If your car was towed after being involved in a crash, or it was impounded for some reason, it was taken to United Towing. They are located at 1160 Tidwell Rd, Alpharetta, GA 30004. They are open 24 hours a day. Their phone number is (770) 751-0581. Call them first to see if they have your car. If they do not, it may have been taken as evidence. In that case, check with the Records Division above to find out why your car is not at United Towing. You or your insurance company is responsible for paying the towing and storage fees to United Towing.

Question: I am a victim/witness of a violent crime or domestic violence. Where can I find out about my case and get information on how things will proceed?

Answer: There is a lot of information provided on the Fulton County website located at https://www.fultoncountyga.gov/inside-fulton-county/fulton-county-departments/solicitor-general/victims-services


 

Question: How do I take out a restraining order on someone?

Answer: In Georgia, these are usually referred to as Temporary Protective Orders or TPOs. You obtain them by applying to the Superior Court in which the respondent (person accused of abuse) lives. If the respondent is not a Georgia resident, then the petitioner (person who was abused) may file his or her action in the county of their own residence or in the county where the abuse took place.
