Contacts

Washington County Busted Mugshots is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot verify custody or release, retrieve an official booking record, post bond, or take action on a case. Direct those needs to the appropriate public office below.

Official Washington County Contacts

Use the office that maintains the record or handles the emergency. The sources reviewed do not publish WCSO or WCDC public counter hours, so call before visiting.

  • Washington County Sheriff's Office (WCSO): 112 W Jackson Blvd, Jonesborough, TN 37659. Main line: 423-788-1414. Start with WCSO for current-inmate, weekly-booking, press-release, and sheriff-service links.
  • Washington County Detention Center (WCDC): 114 W Jackson Blvd, Jonesborough, TN 37659. Detention line: 423-753-1701. This is the local jail contact for detention matters, not an emergency line.
  • Public records: Send county records requests to the Washington County Attorney's Office, P.O. Box 555, Jonesborough, TN 37659; 423-753-4864; tmatthews@washingtoncountytn.org. County policy directs requests through this office, rather than the sheriff website.
  • Form 1 and the TPRA: The county asks for written requests on its Form 1, with proof of Tennessee citizenship, for inspection, copies, or both. Give a specific description, record date range, and delivery preference. The form offers on-site, electronic, or USPS delivery and a cost-estimate choice. The Open Records page explains the county's Tennessee Public Records Act process.
  • Emergency or dispatch: Call 911 when an officer must be dispatched or there is an immediate emergency. Do not use detention or records lines for emergency response.

For an official custody search, begin with the WCSO current-inmates portal. The home guide distinguishes that present-custody view from the weekly booking sheet, court records, and a focused records request. For a person in state custody or supervision, use the TDOC FOIL search. The Federal Bureau of Prisons locator and ICE detainee locator serve separate federal and immigration systems.
