Questions about an official Grainger County record must go to the office that created or maintains it. The verified local contacts below separate sheriff and detention records from court files. This private site is not a government counter and cannot receive a Tennessee Public Records Act request or retrieve a record.

This Is Not a Government Office. Grainger County Criminal History is privately run. It cannot perform an official check, correct or remove a record, retrieve a file, or accept an expungement petition.

Need an Official Record?

Send each request to the Grainger County or Tennessee custodian responsible for that record:

  • Court case files: Grainger Circuit Court Clerk, 270 Justice Center Drive, Rutledge, TN 37861; 865-828-3605; sherry.clifton@tncourts.gov. Public counter hours were not published, so call before visiting.
  • Arrest, jail, and sheriff reports: Grainger County Sheriff's Department and Detention Facility, 270 Justice Center Drive, Rutledge, TN 37861; 865-828-3613. Ask to be routed to the proper custodian and confirm hours.
  • Tennessee repository histories: Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, through TORIS for a public name-based request.
  • Police incident reports: the sheriff, Bean Station Police Department, Blaine Police Department, Rutledge Police Department, or other agency that wrote the report.
  • Expungement: the court that handled the case, beginning with the exact case number and disposition.
  • Registry information: Tennessee Sex Offender Registry staff at 1-888-837-4170 or the registering agency shown in the live profile.

The Grainger County Justice Center houses several offices, but their files remain separate. The sheriff cannot certify a court judgment, and the clerk does not issue the arresting agency's narrative report. No official sheriff records-counter hours, dedicated records email, or report-copy fee was found in the reviewed sources.
