Tennessee Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody or release, provide or remove a booking photo, post bond, or retrieve an official record. Contact the agency, jail, or clerk that holds the record.
Where to Ask in Tennessee
The right contact depends on the record and the custody stage. Tennessee arrests are booked county by county, and one agency may hold the arrest report while another holds the booking sheet. Use the source that matches the question:
- An arrest in a county: choose the county in the Tennessee County Directory to reach its local arrest and booking pages.
- A booking sheet or photo: ask the receiving county jail or sheriff’s records custodian; the statewide records overview explains what to request.
- A trial-level case result: contact the clerk for the court that handled the charge. The Tennessee courthouse directory helps identify that office.
- A release or transfer notice: use VINELink/TN SAVIN or its listed live operator for a custody alert.
- A trooper arrest or THP report: use the THP arrest page and the Department of Safety & Homeland Security Open Records office.
- A person in state felony custody: search the TDOC Felony Offender Information Lookup; the state site controls its record and support.
- Federal custody: check the BOP locator or ICE Detainee Locator. BOP’s public locator does not provide booking photos.
A county site may link to its own records unit and request policy. For a copy, follow that custodian’s process and identify the record, date, and agency. The statewide directory is a routing tool, not a central records office.
