Tullahoma Arrest Records: Who Makes Arrests, Where People Are Booked and How to Get the Report

Who Makes Arrests in Tullahoma

The FBI lists Tullahoma with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Tullahoma Police Department. It reported 937 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 Coffee County Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 1,690 arrests for 2025.

The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Coffee County: Drug Task Force's 14th Judicial District (other); Motlow State Community College (campus police).

Booking: Where People Arrested in Tullahoma Are Held

The county jail is where a person arrested in Tullahoma 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 370 people, up from about 350 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2024 was 400 beds, and it ran at 92 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.

How to Find Out About an Arrest in Tullahoma

An arrest in Tullahoma can be traced in two places, depending on where the case stands: the case index of the Coffee County Circuit and Chancery Courts, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at coffeecountytn.gov/327/Public-Court-Records); the District Attorney General, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at tennesseeda.gov/district-14).

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 Tullahoma

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.
