Carroll County, Tennessee, has about 29,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Carroll County depends on where the incident happened: the Carroll County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Tennessee Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Carroll County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Carroll County that is the Carroll County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries Drug Task Force's 24th Judicial District (other agency), with a records office of its own.

The Carroll County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it had 29 violent and 73 property crimes reported for 2023 and reported 521 arrests for 2025.
