A citation or summons identifies a court contact for your matter. Read the document carefully, keep it available, and confirm administrative details with the court named on it. Jody D. Peterman, LLC offers criminal defense services across Georgia. The firm’s office is in Valdosta; call to discuss your matter and confirm consultation arrangements.
Start with the court named on your document
Check the citation or summons for the name of the court and any information identifying the matter. Do not assume that a court contact with a Hazlehurst address is the right contact for your specific document. Use the court actually named on it, and contact that court to verify administrative details.
Hazlehurst Municipal Court lists its contact at 17 Johnson Street, Hazlehurst, Georgia 31539, at 912-375-6614 and court@hazlehurstga.gov. This municipal court contact is distinct from the police department and the Jeff Davis County court clerk, even though the municipal court and police list the same street address.

Keep court and police contacts distinct
The Hazlehurst Police Department lists 17 Johnson Street, Hazlehurst, Georgia 31539, and 912-375-6688 as its contact. The municipal court lists 912-375-6614. A shared street address does not make the police department and court the same office, so use the contact that matches the purpose of your inquiry.
For an inquiry to the police about public records, the department lists openrecords@police.hazlehurstga.gov. Its page asks requesters to identify the records clearly, such as by report number, date, or location. A police records inquiry is separate from verifying administrative details with the court named on a citation or summons.

A separate contact for Jeff Davis County court documents
The Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority directory lists the Jeff Davis County court clerk at 14 Jeff Davis Street, Hazlehurst, Georgia 31539. It gives the mailing address as P.O. Box 429, Hazlehurst, Georgia 31539, and the telephone number as 912-375-6615.
That county court-clerk contact is different from Hazlehurst Municipal Court at 912-375-6614 and Hazlehurst Police at 912-375-6688. Do not infer from the directory entry that the county clerk is the court named on a particular citation or summons. Check the document and use its named court contact.
