Crossville, Tennessee, in Cumberland County, has about 13,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the county jail, and, if the District Attorney General files charges, a case in the Cumberland County Circuit and Chancery Courts. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Crossville
The FBI lists Crossville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Crossville Police Department. It reported 695 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 1,356 arrests for 2025.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Cumberland County: the Wildlife Resources Agency's Region 3 (state agency).
How Many Arrests Crossville Reports
The FBI publishes every agency's monthly arrest counts on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Crossville: 695 for 2025, 854 for 2024, 848 for 2023, 1,020 for 2022, 1,232 for 2020 and 1,304 for 2019; 2021 is missing months.
Crossville's 695 arrests in 2025 were down 19 percent from 854 in 2024.
Through August 2026, Crossville reported 472 arrests, against 446 in the same months of 2025.
Across Cumberland County, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 2,051 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Crossville Are Held
The county jail is where a person arrested in Crossville and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2024 the jail held about 150 people, down from about 200 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2024 was 212 beds, and it ran at 73 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office at inmates.cumberlandcounty.revize.com/bookings (page title: Inmate Locator | Cumberland_County_ME_Inmates_App), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Tennessee Department of Correction, whose inmate locator is at foil.app.tn.gov/foil/search.jsp.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Crossville
Whether someone was arrested in Crossville, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the county jail; the case index of the Cumberland County Circuit and Chancery Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at cumberlandcountytn.gov/directory/circuit-court, phone 931-484-6647); the District Attorney General, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at tennesseeda.gov/district-13, phone 931-528-8598).
Tennessee is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: TORIS lets anyone run a name-based criminal history search online, for $29 a search, through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. That record shows what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Crossville
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Tennessee Public Records Act the agency must answer within 7 business days, and it may charge copying, and labor after the first hour.
