Questions about official Lake County criminal records belong with the office that created or maintains the file. The sheriff and jail handle local reports, bookings, custody, warrants, and registration. The Circuit Court Clerk keeps filed criminal cases and dispositions. TBI maintains Tennessee repository histories and the state registry. We are a private reference resource and cannot retrieve, certify, change, or accept a filing for any government record.

This Is Not a Government Office. We operate a private reference resource. We cannot obtain official records, conduct a TBI check, correct or remove an entry, or receive an expungement filing.

Need an Official Record?

Use the office tied to the Lake County record type:

  • Court case files and dispositions: Lake County Circuit and General Sessions Clerk, 229 Church Street, Box 11, Tiptonville, TN 38079; (731) 253-7137; weekdays, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Sheriff reports, bookings, jail, warrants, and local registration: Lake County Sheriff's Department, 109 South Court Street, Tiptonville, TN 38079; (731) 253-7791; published weekday hours, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
  • Tennessee criminal-history checks: Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Justice Information Services Division, through TORIS or its published mail route
  • Police incident reports: ask Tiptonville or Ridgely police when that city agency created the narrative
  • Expungement filings: contact the court that handled the case and confirm the current form, disposition, service, and fee rules
  • State custody: use Tennessee Department of Correction FOIL rather than the Lake County jail for a sentenced felony offender

The Lake County Courthouse is at 229 Church Street in Tiptonville. The county switchboard is (731) 253-7382. No online sheriff request portal, local request form, or sheriff fee schedule was verified, so call the department before visiting and ask whether a written request, identification, prepayment, or appointment is needed.
