Jail and Sheriff Contacts
Use detention for a current-custody question and the sheriff's main number for records routing. The official site does not publish a separate records-unit line or response guarantee.

Lincoln County government lists courthouse hours as Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., except holidays. Call before visiting because a record may be held by the arresting city rather than the jail.
Choose the Correct Office
The source depends on the question:
- For an arrest report or booking photograph, follow the county records path and ask the arresting agency or jail custodian.
- For a fresh Fayetteville Police posting, use P2C and contact FPD at (931) 438-7771.
- For an Ardmore event, call City Hall at (931) 427-2124 and confirm the state and county.
- For Petersburg, use Town Hall at (931) 659-9826 or non-emergency (931) 433-4522, then verify the county side.
- For a court result, call the Lincoln County clerk at (931) 433-2334 or the assigned municipal clerk.
- For state felony custody or supervision, use Tennessee Department of Correction FOIL.
- For federal or immigration detention, use the BOP or ICE locator that matches the custody system.
