Use your paperwork to orient a court question
Long County lists Superior Court at 912-545-2123 and Magistrate Court at 912-545-2131. These are distinct court contacts. Check the court name printed on the paperwork you have before using a directory number to ask where a court-related question belongs.

Keep court paperwork separate from records or correspondence from law-enforcement agencies and county administration.

Keep law-enforcement contacts distinct

An agency contact does not establish which agency has a particular record or what records may be available. If an incident document identifies an agency, preserve that document and note its agency name alongside the date and any reference number shown. Counsel can assess the materials you have in the context of your matter.
