This is not a government office. This site cannot confirm custody, release anyone, retrieve a record, correct a government file, or accept service for an agency.

Where to Ask

For a fresh booking, current custody, release notation, housing location, or booking photograph, contact the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department. The county publishes 615-597-4935 and 615-597-4043. The office is at 100 Public Square, Smithville, TN 37166. No dedicated sheriff records email or records-office hours were published in the reviewed source, so call and ask for the Public Records Request Coordinator.
