Booking and Custody Questions
Contact the Meigs County Sheriff’s Department at 410 River Road, Decatur, TN 37322, or call (423) 334-5268. Ask which office currently holds the booking because reported jail decertification may affect housing. A jail number, (423) 334-3163, appeared in state material and should be verified. Emergencies belong with 911, not a records contact.
Public Records Requests
Use the Meigs County public-records page and its form. The county instructs requesters to route the form to the proper department and provide valid Tennessee photo identification. Call the Sheriff first because no separate records-unit number or email was published. Ask for the booking record and photograph separately.
Decatur Police Records
The Town of Decatur lists 116 North Main Street, P.O. Box 188, Decatur, TN 37322, and police phone (423) 334-5716. Town pages conflict about the current chief, so confirm the records contact before sending a request.
Court and Custody Tools
The Meigs County Circuit Court Clerk lists (423) 334-5821 for court-record questions. Tennessee VINELink handles participating custody searches and alerts; TDOC FOIL covers state felony custody or supervision. Neither is a substitute for an emergency call or legal advice.
