Giles County Sheriff's Office

The Giles County Sheriff's Office is at 200 Richland Drive in Pulaski. The office handles patrol, criminal investigations, civil process, and corrections for the entire county. Deputies and jail staff work around the clock. The jail is a medium-security facility that holds both pretrial detainees and sentenced inmates.

Every person arrested in Giles County goes through intake at this jail. During booking, staff log the person's name, date of birth, physical description, charges, bond amount, and the name of the arresting officer. That intake record becomes the booking release. When the person gets out, whether by posting bond, completing their sentence, or by court order, the release date and time are added to the record.

How to Look Up Giles County Booking Releases

Giles County does not operate its own online jail roster or booking report portal. This is common for smaller Tennessee counties. The fastest way to check on a booking is to call the jail directly. Give the full name of the person you are looking for. Staff can confirm if someone is in custody and share basic charge and bond data.

The Tennessee Courts website also has case search tools that cover Giles County. You can look up filed charges, court dates, and case outcomes there. Keep in mind that court records and booking releases are two different things. A booking record shows the arrest and jail intake. Court records show what happened after that in the legal system.

Above is the Giles County Sheriff's website, which provides contact information and details on how to reach the office for booking release questions.

Third-party jail roster sites collect data from Tennessee counties and put it in one place. These sites may show Giles County bookings, but the data can be a few hours or days behind. For the most up-to-date info, go straight to the source.

Giles County Public Records Requests

If you need a formal copy of a booking release from Giles County, you can submit a public records request. Tennessee law under T.C.A. § 10-7-503 gives any citizen the right to inspect government records. That includes jail booking data, arrest reports, and release logs.

Submit your request in writing. You can deliver it in person or send it by mail to the Giles County Public Records Coordinator at the county government office in Pulaski. Include the full name and approximate date of the arrest. A Tennessee state-issued ID may be required. The county has seven business days to respond. Viewing records in person is free, and copies run about $0.15 per page.

You do not need to give a reason for your request. The law protects your right to access these records without explaining why you want them.

What Giles County Booking Records Contain

A typical Giles County booking release includes the arrested person's full name, date of birth, sex, race, and home address. It shows the date and time of arrest, the arresting agency, and each charge. Bond amounts appear for every charge on the record. If the person has been released, that date shows up too.

Common charges in Giles County bookings include DUI, domestic assault, drug possession, violation of probation, and failure to appear. More serious offenses like aggravated assault, burglary, and drug manufacturing also come through. The booking record does not show the final court outcome. It only covers the arrest and jail stay.

Juvenile records are not included in public booking data. Under T.C.A. § 37-1-154, records for minors are sealed and require a court order to access. All public booking releases in Giles County are for adults only.

Removing a Giles County Booking Record

Tennessee allows expungement of certain arrest records. Under T.C.A. § 40-32-101, you can petition the court to erase a booking record if your charges were dismissed, you were found not guilty, or you completed a pretrial diversion program. The petition goes to the court in the county where the arrest happened.

Expungement is not automatic. You file the paperwork, pay a filing fee, and wait for the judge to rule. If approved, the Giles County Sheriff's Office removes the booking release from public view. The Tennessee Court System website has expungement forms for people who want to handle the process on their own. Hiring a lawyer can speed things up but is not required.
