Collierville 24 Hour Booking Details
A 24 hour booking record from Collierville shows the name, date of birth, and charges for the person arrested. It includes the date and time of the arrest and the arresting officer.

The department has five divisions: Community Services, Support Services, Criminal Investigations, Uniform Patrol, and Administration. The Records Unit sits within the Support Services division. They handle all requests from the public for booking and arrest data. Staff will pull the records, redact any protected information like Social Security numbers and home addresses, and then give you the copies.

Privacy Rules for Booking Records
Collierville follows the Tennessee Public Records Act when sharing booking data. Most arrest records are public. But personal details get removed before you see them. The police department redacts street addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, and Social Security numbers from all copies. This is standard across Tennessee and applies to 24 hour booking records from Collierville and every other city in the state.
Juvenile records are never released. Medical and mental health information is protected too. If a case is still under investigation, the department can hold back the records until the case closes. These rules come from T.C.A. § 10-7-504, which lists more than 50 exceptions to the public records law. Once an investigation wraps up, the booking record from Collierville becomes available to the public again.
