How Oak Ridge Booking Works
When the Oak Ridge Police arrest someone, the person gets transported to the Anderson County Jail in Clinton. There is no city jail in Oak Ridge. The drive from Oak Ridge to Clinton takes about 20 minutes. Once at the county facility, jail staff handle the full booking process. They record the person's name, date of birth, physical description, fingerprints, and mugshot. Each booking receives a unique number that ties to the charges and bond information.
Tennessee law says a person arrested without a warrant must appear before a judge within 48 to 72 hours. At this first hearing, the judge checks probable cause, informs the person of the charges, and sets bail. Records created during the booking process are public under Tenn. Code Ann. 10-7-503. You can request them at any time.
The iSOMS portal lets you filter results by the arresting department. If you only want to see arrests made by the Oak Ridge Police Department, look for that in the arresting agency field.
