Collierville Arrest Processing
All Collierville arrests go through the Shelby County Jail. This is true for any arrest made by the Collierville Police Department or other agencies working in town. After an officer makes an arrest, the person is transported to the Shelby County Jail in Memphis for booking. Staff there log the charges, take a photo, and enter all the data into the county system. That booking record stays in the database even after the person is let go.
Collierville is part of Shelby County, which runs one of the largest jail systems in Tennessee. The county jail also handles bookings from Memphis, Bartlett, and Germantown. Because of the high volume, it may take a few hours for a new booking to show up in the online system. If you need to check on someone who was just arrested in Collierville, try calling the Shelby County Jail directly or check back on the inmate search page later in the day.
Under T.C.A. § 10-7-503, these booking records are public. Any Tennessee resident can ask to see them. The standard copy fee is $0.15 per page for black and white and $0.50 for color pages.
What Collierville Booking Records Show
A Collierville booking release record has several key details. It shows the full name and date of birth of the person who was arrested. You will see their race and sex listed. The record includes the charges filed at the time of booking, the bond amount for each charge, and the arresting agency. Since these are Collierville arrests, the arresting agency will be the Collierville Police Department in most cases.
The record also shows the booking date and, if the person has been released, the release date. Keep in mind that a booking record does not mean a conviction. It shows that someone was taken into custody. The case may still be pending, or it may have been dismissed. For the full outcome of a case, you would need to check court records through the Shelby County court system.
Collierville Warrant Search
The Shelby County warrant search tool covers warrants from Collierville Municipal Court. You can check for active warrants issued in Collierville or anywhere else in Shelby County. This is a free search tool. If you find that a warrant has been issued, you should contact a lawyer or turn yourself in at the Collierville Police Department to resolve it.
Warrant records are also public under Tennessee law. Under T.C.A. § 40-6-104, arrest warrants become public once they have been served. Before that, some warrant details may be sealed to protect ongoing investigations. The Collierville Police Department can tell you if there is an active warrant for a specific person if you call their non-emergency line.

The records custodian must respond within seven business days. Some details will be blacked out under state law. Juvenile records, for example, are protected under T.C.A. § 37-1-154 and will not be released.
Note: You must be a Tennessee resident to request public records under state law.
Collierville Booking Release Expungement
Some Collierville booking releases can be removed from public view. Under T.C.A. § 40-32-101, you may qualify for expungement if your charge was dismissed, you were found not guilty, or you completed a pretrial diversion program. You file the petition in the court where your case was heard. Once granted, the booking record should be removed from both the Shelby County system and the Collierville Police Department files.
Expungement does not happen on its own. You have to file paperwork and may need a lawyer to help. The Tennessee Courts website has forms and guides for people who want to handle the process themselves. You can also call the Tennessee Bar Association lawyer referral line at (800) 899-6993 for help finding an attorney.
