Brentwood Quick Facts
Brentwood Booking and Arrest Process
When Brentwood Police make an arrest, the person goes to the Williamson County Jail. The jail is at 408 Century Court in Franklin. It is the John I. Easley Jr. Criminal Justice Center. Brentwood does not run its own jail. All arrests from the city end up at this one county site.
The booking process starts once a person gets to the jail. Staff log the name, date of birth, and charge. They take a photo and record the time of intake. Bond is set based on the type of charge. Some people bond out fast. Others wait for a judge. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office handles all of this for Brentwood arrests. You can call the jail at 615-790-5560 any time of day or night for booking info. That line runs 24 hours. If you want to check on someone who was just picked up in Brentwood, call that number first.
The Williamson County Sheriff's Office site has details on the jail and its intake process. Booking records from Brentwood arrests are kept at the county level, not by the city police. This is standard across Tennessee. Cities make arrests but counties run the jails and hold the booking data.

To find a recent Brentwood arrest, you need to check the Williamson County Jail records. The county uses an inmate services system that lets you look up who is in custody. You can search by name to find a person booked after a Brentwood arrest.

The Brentwood Police Department is at 5211 Maryland Way in Brentwood. You can call them at 615-371-0160 for questions about a specific arrest. But for booking records, the sheriff's office is the place to go. The police can tell you if someone was arrested. The jail can tell you if someone is still in custody. These are two different things, so make sure you are calling the right office for what you need.
The Brentwood Police Department website has info on how to reach the records division. Police records and booking records are not the same. An arrest report is a police document. A booking record is a jail document. You may need both, depending on what you are looking for.
