Questions about an official Grundy County criminal record should go to the office that created or maintains it. In Altamont, the sheriff handles sheriff reports, booking and jail information, and sheriff-held warrant details. The Circuit Court Clerk serves the county's Circuit, General Sessions, and Juvenile courts. State repository histories come from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The routing below identifies the right source and gives the current local address and phone contacts found in official county material.

This Is Not a Government Office. This privately operated reference site cannot retrieve an official record, perform a government background check, amend a file, or receive an expungement petition. Those services belong to the appropriate public office.

Need an Official Record?

Match the document to its custodian before calling or visiting:

  • Police incident reports: ask the sheriff, Tracy City Police Department, or Monteagle Police Department, depending on which agency wrote the report
  • Arrest, booking, jail, and sheriff warrant records: contact the Grundy County Sheriff's Office, 227 Maple Street, P.O. Box 218, Altamont, TN 37301, phone (931) 692-3466, fax (931) 692-2400
  • Circuit and General Sessions criminal files: contact Circuit Court Clerk Penny Sons, 68 Cumberland Street, Suite 206, Altamont, TN 37301, phone (931) 692-3368, fax (931) 692-2414
  • Tennessee repository checks: order through the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and its Tennessee Open Records Information Services system
  • Sex offender registry questions: use the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry, then call the sheriff for local registration or suspected noncompliance issues
  • Expungement filings: begin with the Circuit Court Clerk for the Grundy case and confirm the current packet, docket number, costs, and filing steps

The county does not publish walk-in hours for either local counter. Call before travel. Current official material lists the sheriff at 227 Maple Street, while an older registry contact sheet used a different jail address, so the current county listing and phone confirmation should control. Court visitors should ask for the Circuit Court Clerk in Suite 206, not the County Clerk, which handles different public services.
