Davidson County, Tennessee · Jail, arrest report, warrant and criminal court guide
Find a Nashville Arrest, Confirm Jail Status and Trace the Court Outcome
Davidson County does not place the complete arrest story in one record. The Sheriff shows live custody and recent bookings, Metro Police maintains arrest reports and local arrest checks, and the Criminal Court Clerk shows the charge and court disposition.
This guide brings the search fields, result meanings, court coverage dates, police-report costs, bond contacts, jail rules, statewide background checks and expungement steps into one place. Outside portals are used only for the final live search or submission.
Do not identify someone from a name or booking photograph alone. Match the date of birth, OCA or control number, booking date, warrant number or court case. An arrested charge is an allegation and can differ from the final court disposition.
Inmate information
615-862-8123, available 24/7.
Recent bookings
Official Sheriff list covers the previous 48 hours.
Police arrest check
$13; does not include court disposition.
Court summaries

Choose the Davidson County record that answers your question
DAVIDSON COUNTY SHERIFF
Is the person in jail now?
Use Active Inmate Search for current custody, recent bookings, facility, unit, security status, charges and listed bond information.
Best for: live custody, OCA number, facility and release tracking.
CRIMINAL COURT CLERK
What happened to the charge?
Search the free Davidson County case system for offenses, citations, court events and dispositions in concluded cases.
Best for: court status, dismissal, plea, judgment and certified copies.
METRO NASHVILLE POLICE
What does the arrest report say?
Request the incident or arrest report from MNPD Central Records. The Sheriff’s jail-record office does not provide Metro police reports or mugshots.
Best for: police narrative, incident report and local arrest check.
TENNESSEE TBI
Do you need statewide history?
Use TORIS for a name-based Tennessee criminal-history report drawn from fingerprint-supported arrest information submitted to TBI.
Best for: Tennessee-wide history rather than Davidson County only.
Best full-record workflow: Find the active or recent booking, save the OCA and warrant numbers, search the court case, and request the police report only when the incident narrative is still needed.
How to search Davidson County active inmates and recent bookings
The Sheriff provides three search routes: a simple person search, an advanced search and a Recent Bookings list covering the previous 48 hours.
Person Search
Search with first and last name. Begin with fewer name fields to avoid excluding a valid result.
Advanced Search
Search by first name, last name, date of birth, OCA number, warrant number or CIS number.
Recent Bookings
Review people admitted during the previous 48 hours, including records that already show a release date.
Start with the last name
Use the legal surname first. Add the first name only when the results are too broad.
Try the name used at arrest
The court system specifically warns that a name search must use the spelling entered at the time of arrest. Test aliases, former names, suffixes and spelling variants.
Use date of birth to narrow the search
Add the date only after a broader name search. One incorrect date can hide the record.
Use an OCA number when available
The OCA is displayed as the
CONTROL_NUMBER in inmate results and is used for mail, deposits and many jail questions.
Search the warrant number
A warrant number can locate the booking when the person’s name is common or entered differently.
Check Recent Bookings
Use the 48-hour list when the arrest occurred recently and the exact spelling is unknown.
Open every plausible detail page
Compare date of birth, control number, admitted date, facility, aliases and charge details.
Confirm before paying or traveling
Call 615-862-8123 when the booking is new, release is pending or the person has a common name.
What each Davidson County inmate field means
| Field | What it means | Best next action |
|---|---|---|
| JMS number | The identifier connected with the jail-management record. | Keep it with the OCA when discussing a specific booking. |
| Control number | The inmate’s OCA number within the Davidson County system. | Use it for mail, deposits and offender-record requests. |
| Admitted date | When the person entered Davidson County Sheriff custody. | Compare it with the arrest and final-booking dates. |
| Arrest booking date | The timestamp associated with the arrest-booking process. | Use it to distinguish multiple custody episodes. |
| Medical date | A timestamp connected with the intake medical process. | Do not interpret it as a diagnosis or publicly available medical record. |
| Final booking date | When the booking workflow was recorded as completed. | A recent arrest may not show complete data until this process finishes. |
| Facility and unit-pod | The current correctional location and housing assignment. | Confirm before scheduling a visit because assignments can change. |
| Security level | The custody classification shown by DCSO. | Expect visitation, movement and program access to vary by housing. |
| Also known as | Other names associated with the jail record. | Use aliases to search the Criminal Court Clerk system. |
| Arrested charge | The offense allegation entered for the arrest or booking. | Search the court case to see what was formally filed and resolved. |
| Convicted charge | A conviction field displayed when applicable to the inmate record. | Confirm the exact judgment and sentence through the Clerk. |
| Warrant number | The warrant or count identifier connected with the charge. | Use it in the Sheriff advanced search or when calling the Warrant and Bond Office. |
| Bond | The bond amount currently displayed for the charge. | Confirm it with the Criminal Court Clerk because the court can change the amount. |
| Sentence dates and length | Sentencing information associated with a convicted charge. | Check for concurrent, consecutive or separate sentences before estimating release. |
The Sheriff warns against using the inmate page as official legal data. Bond, release, charges and custody status can change after a judicial order, transfer or administrative update.
No Davidson County jail or court record found?
The arrest occurred within the last few hours
Identification, medical screening, property inventory and final booking may still be underway.
The name is spelled differently
Search the last name alone and test aliases, maiden names, suffixes and alternate spellings.
The person received a misdemeanor citation
A citation may involve scheduled citation booking rather than immediate jail custody.
The person was released quickly
Check Recent Bookings because the record can display an admitted and release date even when the person is no longer active.
The case is older than the online court coverage
Contact the Criminal Court Clerk for records before 1980.
The charge was expunged
The Criminal Court Clerk states that expunged charges and citations are not included in the public search.
The person is in state or federal custody
A Davidson County case can remain visible after the person transfers to another agency.
The arrest happened outside Nashville
Search the county where the arrest occurred or use the Tennessee TBI statewide process.
Call script for a missing booking

I have [OCA, warrant, citation or case number]. Can you confirm whether the person is active, released, transferred or listed under another spelling?”
What happens after an arrest in Nashville?

Pretrial screening
DCSO Pretrial Screening operates inside the DDC booking room 24 hours a day and evaluates qualifying defendants for non-financial release and supervision.
Night Court or magistrate review
Davidson County judicial magistrates operate around the clock and may conduct probable-cause proceedings, issue warrants and set bail.
Classification and facility placement
The person can remain at DDC or move to another DCSO facility according to sex, security, medical, sentencing and operational factors.
Review and jail dockets
Arrest timing affects the published review-docket and jail-docket schedule.

How to verify Davidson County bond and warrant information
Warrant and Bond Office
440 Third Avenue North
Nashville, TN 37201
Nashville, TN 37201
Open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Bond information
Confirm the current amount, every warrant and every hold before arranging payment.
Night Court
Judicial magistrates operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and can determine probable cause, issue warrants and set bail.
Current-address warning: The Clerk’s latest 2026 announcement lists 440 Third Avenue North. Some older pages and site footers still display 512 First Avenue North. Call 615-862-5670 before traveling.
Read every charge in the inmate result
One person can have several warrants, bonds and no-bond matters.
Record every warrant number
Do not rely only on the combined amount displayed on a third-party site.
Ask whether another hold exists
A probation violation, fugitive matter, domestic-violence hold, court order or another jurisdiction can prevent release.
Confirm the amount with the Clerk
The Sheriff search warns that bond amounts can be changed by the court.
Verify the payment method and recipient
Do not send funds to a person claiming to be a county employee through a gift card, cryptocurrency or personal transfer account.
Wait for physical release confirmation
Posting or approving bond does not mean the person has completed property return, paperwork and release processing.
Pretrial release: Davidson County Pretrial Services is designed to identify qualifying defendants for supervised release on non-financial conditions. Screening is not a guarantee of release.
How to search Davidson County Criminal Court Clerk records
The Criminal Court Clerk maintains clerical records for General Sessions and State Trial criminal courts. The free public search includes charged or cited offenses and dispositions when the case has concluded.
CJIS General Sessions
Dispositions beginning January 11, 2000.
CJIS State Trial Court
Dispositions beginning July 11, 2000.
Legacy records
Online records posted from 1980 to the CJIS start dates. Contact the Clerk for earlier files.
Search the exact arrest spelling
The Clerk warns that name searches must use the spelling entered by the arresting or booking agency.
Try every known alias
Use the Sheriff result’s “Also Known As” names to repeat the court search.
Confirm the date of birth
Some search results may not include a birth date. Verify in person before using a same-name record for an official purpose.
Separate General Sessions and State Trial records
A felony can begin with General Sessions proceedings and later appear in State Trial Court.
Read the charged offense and disposition separately
The original allegation does not by itself show how the case ended.
Update the search before official use
Court information can change, and expunged information must not remain public.
Expunged matters are excluded. The Clerk states that the public database does not contain charges or citations expunged under Tennessee law.
How to read the criminal court result correctly
| Field or status | What it means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Case number | The identifier assigned to the criminal court matter. | Use it for copies, payments, docket questions and expungement inquiries. |
| Charged or cited offense | The allegation filed or citation entered in the court record. | Do not describe it as a conviction without a final disposition. |
| Pending | The case has not reached a final outcome. | Check the next docket date and newest filing. |
| Dismissed | The indicated charge or case was dismissed. | Determine whether every count was dismissed. |
| Nolle prosequi | The prosecution stated that it would not pursue the charge at that time. | Check whether additional charges or cases remain. |
| No true bill | The grand jury did not return an indictment. | Review the complete case history before assuming all matters ended. |
| Not guilty | The defendant was found not guilty of the indicated charge. | Confirm the result for each count. |
| Retired | A Tennessee case status that may be eligible for no-fee expungement according to the Clerk’s guidance. | Ask the Expungement Unit about the specific case. |
| Diversion | The person entered a qualifying pretrial or judicial diversion process. | Confirm completion, fees and expungement eligibility. |
| Guilty or convicted | The court entered a conviction or guilty disposition. | Review the judgment, sentence, probation and eligible-relief rules. |
Same-name safeguard: When the court result lacks a date of birth, the Clerk advises verifying the record at the office before using it for an official purpose.

When the Davidson County search is too narrow
Tennessee Open Records Information Services, commonly called TORIS, is operated by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and provides public name-based Tennessee criminal-history searches.
Published fee
$29 per search, non-refundable.
Search type
Name-based Tennessee open-records check.
TBI contact
What TORIS is built from
- Tennessee misdemeanor and felony arrest information based on fingerprint submissions from arresting agencies.
- A response stating whether the searched subject may have a Tennessee criminal-history record.
- A copy of the possible criminal-history record when the search produces a potential match.
- No aliases in the name-search process, making exact identity verification especially important.
- No juvenile information unless the juvenile was transferred for treatment as an adult under applicable Tennessee law.
Name-search limitation: TORIS is not a fingerprint identity confirmation. A common name, omitted alias or incorrect birth information can affect the usefulness of the result.
