Which system is holding them?

There is no single search that covers everyone in Davidson County. Match the situation to the right official locator — most families start with the first one.

If the arrest was recent

Start with the local jail

For a recent local arrest, check the arresting jurisdiction’s official jail roster or custody-notification service. Housing may be at a municipal, county, regional, or contracted facility. If no record appears, ask the arresting agency or jail how to confirm the booking; do not infer the destination from distance or a facility listing.

The researched Davidson County public custody service. Sheriff-endorsed current-custody search form reached

Open Davidson County custody search

Use the public name/identifier controls and verify that the result describes current custody.

Davidson County Sheriff general office: +16158628170

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation lists Davidson County Sheriffs Department as the Davidson County Sheriff agency. CTAS jail guidance describes Sheriff county-jail custody duties, with statutory and interlocal exceptions. This is general Sheriff assistance after county booking, not a booking hotline.

Call the published Sheriff office and ask how to confirm county custody or a transfer. To find the source listing, open the TBI Criminal Justice Directory, enter Davidson in County and choose SHERIFF as Agency Type. The number was not called.

Local source reviewed 2026-10-05. Public search controls were reached; individual search results were not checked.

If nothing appears, contact the arresting agency or the responsible jail to ask how to confirm booking. A missing record does not prove release, and an agency may limit what it can disclose.

If they were sentenced to prison

Use the correctional locator

For a state-prison sentence, use the Tennessee correctional locator. A short jail sentence may still be served in a local or regional jail. A sentence alone does not establish the housing location; confirm with the responsible agency.

If the charge is federal

Search the Federal Bureau of Prisons

A federal charge does not tell you which building holds the person. The U.S. Marshals Service is responsible for federal pretrial detention and may use local, state, private, or federal facilities. Check the Federal Bureau of Prisons locator, but a missing result does not establish that the person is not detained. For a recent federal arrest, contact the arresting agency or the relevant U.S. Marshals district office to ask about the appropriate custody-information process. USMS is a contact route, not a public person locator, and disclosure of a location is not guaranteed.

Other kinds of custody

Immigration detention has a separate official ICE detainee locator. It does not search for people under 18, and a missing result does not prove release; use the official ICE field-office contacts. Search by A-number and country of birth, or the name/country/date-of-birth information requested by the service. Access and disclosure can be restricted.

Juvenile and tribal custody may have different agencies, privacy rules, and search limits. This guide does not provide a comprehensive juvenile or tribal locator. Contact the arresting agency or responsible juvenile or tribal authority to confirm the correct process.

For federal pretrial detention, use the U.S. Marshals district directory. Federal responsibility can include housing in a local jail.
