Bradley County JailTracker Booking Reports

Bradley County uses the JailTracker platform to share booking data with the public. This is the fastest way to see who was booked in the past 72 hours. The system shows recent arrests with mugshots, charges, bond amounts, and booking dates. You can view it from any device, though you will need to type a short CAPTCHA code to get in.

To use the JailTracker portal for Bradley County, go to the booking reports page on the sheriff's website. Enter the four-character CAPTCHA code shown on screen. Once you pass that step, the system loads a list of recent bookings. You can browse by name or scroll through the most recent entries. Each record shows the person's full name, mugshot, booking date and time, arresting agency, charges, and bond amount. This is public data under the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-503.

The JailTracker system also lets you see historical booking data beyond just the last 72 hours. You can filter by date range or search by name to find older records. This makes it useful for more than just checking recent arrests in Bradley County.

Note: The JailTracker portal is free to use, but you must complete the CAPTCHA each time you visit the page.

Bradley County Booking Record Details

Each 72 hour booking record in Bradley County contains several pieces of data. The record starts with the person's name, mugshot, and physical description. It then lists the booking date and time, the booking number assigned by the jail, and the arresting agency. Most arrests in Bradley County come from the sheriff's office, but the Cleveland Police Department and other local agencies also book people into this jail.

Charges are listed in detail on each booking record. You will see the specific charge description, the Tennessee statute that applies, and the bond amount set for each charge. For example, a DUI charge would reference T.C.A. § 55-10-401, while a theft charge might cite a different code section. The bond amount varies based on the charge and the person's criminal history. Some charges carry no bond if the court considers the person a flight risk or a danger to the community.

Status information rounds out the record. You can see if someone is still in custody, what housing unit they are in, and whether they have been released. Release dates show up once someone posts bond or gets out through other means.

State Tools for Bradley County Searches

Beyond the local jail roster, there are state-level databases that can help you find booking and criminal history information for people in Bradley County.

The Tennessee Department of Correction operates the Felony Offender Information Lookup, known as FOIL. This free tool shows current and past felony offenders in state custody or on parole.
