County profile
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Coosa County Sheriff's Office is responsible for law enforcement across the unincorporated areas of Coosa County.
Police Departments. Law enforcement in Coosa County is primarily managed by Coosa County Sheriff's Office, which covers the unincorporated areas. In addition to the Sheriff's Office, there are municipal police departments in the incorporated areas, such as the Rockford Police Department. Coordination between the Sheriff's Office and municipal departments is crucial for handling major crimes and emergencies.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Law enforcement in Coosa County is primarily provided by Coosa County Sheriff's Office, Alabama 35136. Coosa County Detention Center, located adjacent to the Sheriff's Office, houses inmates awaiting trial and those serving sentences. Inmate information and booking records can be obtained by contacting the jail directly at or by visiting the Sheriff's Office in person. Some booking information may also be available through third-party mugshot websites that aggregate Alabama arrest data, though the Sheriff's Office remains the official source.

Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the two federal mine files
The USGS mineral file records 118 named mine sites inside the county, 110 of them worked out or abandoned; the USGS topographic mine features add 15 features mapped inside the county, 0 of them shafts, adits or tunnels, digitised from the old survey sheets. The minerals the records name are Gold; Graphite; Mica.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. The Geological Survey of Alabama coal page is a script application that gives this box no readable text, so it is not listed.
Please read: Everything here can be wrong. This is information, not a guarantee: the two federal files can be wrong, incomplete or out of date, the boundaries and the geocoder can be wrong, a point is a location and not a property line, and nothing on this page says that a mine is or is not under any particular property. Do not buy, sell, move, or make any decision about a home or about your safety on this alone. Ask the state mine map office named here for the maps, and have a qualified engineer look at the ground.
