Contacts

Official DeKalb records contacts

Start with the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department for a county jail booking, current county custody, or a request directed to the jail records custodian. The public county pages reviewed did not give a records-unit email, booking-photo fee, records hours, or a fixed response time, so those details should be requested directly. Call 911 for an emergency.

For a case outcome, docket, judgment, or certified court file after booking, contact the clerk. The county identifies Susan L. Martin as Circuit Court Clerk and states that online information is not the official record.

The record source changes with the agency and custody stage. The following routes help identify the proper office without treating a news item, historical booking report, or third-party search result as an official disposition.

• For a Smithville arrest report, use the Smithville Police Department or city police contact at 615-597-8210. The research did not locate a public Smithville arrest log.
• For an Alexandria arrest report, contact the Alexandria Police Department, 102 High Street, Alexandria, TN 37012, at 615-529-2700. DeKalb dispatch non-emergency is 615-215-3000.
• For a Dowelltown matter, begin with the sheriff or clerk because no separate town police record feed was verified.
• For a person sentenced to state custody or supervised by the state, use the Tennessee Department of Correction FOIL search. A state result is not a DeKalb County booking record.
• For federal custody, use the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator. For current immigration detention, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Neither source is a county booking-photo archive.
