Blount County Sheriff’s Office: Jail, Inmate Search & Contact

The Blount County Sheriff’s Office in Maryville handles patrol, criminal investigations, court security, warrant service and the Blount County Adult Detention Facility. The fastest route depends on what you actually need: current custody starts with BCSO’s InmateNOW! system, a new non-emergency call for service goes through Blount County dispatch, Sheriff records use the BCSO records-request system, and later criminal-case information belongs to the Blount County court system.

If someone close to you was recently arrested, start with the official inmate lookup and save the booking number, bond, charge, docket number, court and court date before making calls, sending money or planning a visit.

Independent-site notice: CountySheriffsOffice.org is a private informational website. It is not the Blount County Sheriff’s Office, Blount County government, a Tennessee court, City Tele Coin or CorrectPay.
Use the right number: BCSO’s main office is 865-273-5000, but current Blount County emergency-communications guidance uses 865-983-3620 for non-emergency dispatch when you need a deputy or need to report a non-emergency incident. Call 911 for immediate danger or an emergency.

Current custody

How to Use the Blount County InmateNOW! Search

BCSO launched its redesigned Inmate Lookup System in 2025. The official system provides far more useful information than the older article explained.

A current inmate record can include age, race, sex, height, weight, hair and eye color, booking number, name number, intake date and time, total bond, charge description, count, court, individual charge bond, docket number and court date.

Open the official InmateNOW! system. Use ils.bcso.com rather than a paid inmate-search directory.
Search the legal name. If the first search is too narrow, reduce the number of name fields used.
Open every plausible match. A common name is not enough to identify a person safely.
Compare physical and booking details. Use age, sex, booking date, name number or other displayed information.
Save the booking number and docket number. The booking number is useful for jail services; the docket number helps with court follow-up.
Record each charge and bond separately. One person may have multiple charges, courts or bond amounts.
Check the court date shown in the result. Then verify it through the Blount County court-record system when important.
After opening the official Blount County InmateNOW! system:
  1. Search the inmate’s legal name.
  2. Open the correct result.
  3. Compare identifying details carefully.
  4. Write down the booking number and name number.
  5. Save each charge, court, bond amount, docket number and court date.
  6. Use the docket number in the county court search.
Do not treat the jail result as a conviction. A booking record reflects custody and allegations at a particular time. Charges and court outcomes can later change.
Bond and first court information

Check Bond and Court Date in Two Places

InmateNOW! can display a total bond amount and separate bond amounts by charge. It can also show the assigned court, docket number and court date.

Blount County Judicial Commissioners are available at the Justice Center around the clock to issue criminal warrants and summonses. They also arraign arrested people, set bonds and set court dates.

Start with the inmate record. Save the total bond and each charge-level bond.
Look for multiple charges. Do not assume paying one displayed amount resolves every case.
Save the court and docket number. This helps move from the jail record into the official court record.
Check the court record. A later judicial order can change the situation shown at initial booking.
Confirm before paying anyone. Verify current bond and release information through official sources before sending money to a bonding company or other party.
Scam warning: do not pay gift cards, cryptocurrency, wire transfers or urgent payment-app demands from someone calling about a Blount County warrant or release. Independently verify the case through BCSO and the court system.
Video visitation

Blount County Jail Uses City Tele Coin Video Visitation

The Adult Detention Facility uses video visitation rather than conventional contact visitation. BCSO says there are eight video-visitation stations in the visitor lobby, and remote internet visits are also available through City Tele Coin.

Under the current Sheriff visitation rules, an inmate is allowed four video-visitation sessions of up to 30 minutes each during a seven-day period.

  3. Open the City Tele Coin provider link from BCSO.
  4. Create the visitor account using accurate information.
  5. Review dress, minor-visitor and conduct rules.
  6. Remember that visits and electronic communications are monitored and recorded.
Provider-number discrepancy: BCSO currently lists 318-746-1114 on its visitation page and 318-756-1114 on its inmate telephone page for City Tele Coin-related assistance. Start from the live BCSO page for the specific service you are using rather than relying on a saved number.
Inmate trust funds

Blount County Commissary Deposits Use Kiosks and CorrectPay

Tennessee Business Enterprises holds the current BCSO commissary-service contract. The Sheriff says the jail no longer accepts cash at the service window or money orders for commissary deposits.

  2. Choose the lobby kiosk, CorrectPay online or CorrectPay telephone option.
  3. Match the correct inmate carefully.
  4. Review the provider fee before completing the transaction.
  5. Keep the receipt until the inmate confirms the funds were credited.
Calls, tablets and messages

Blount County Inmate Phone Calls Use City Tele Coin

Inmates can use telephones, kiosks and tablets in dayroom areas. Personal incoming calls to an inmate are not allowed.

Family members can establish a prepaid account or purchase approved phone credit through City Tele Coin. BCSO’s inmate-telephone page currently publishes 318-756-1114 for City Tele Coin customer service, with support hours listed as 7:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. Central Time, seven days a week.

After opening the official inmate telephone page:
  1. Use the City Tele Coin link supplied by BCSO.
  2. Create or fund the appropriate inmate communication account.
  3. Do not expect jail staff to connect an ordinary incoming personal call.
  4. Use City Tele Coin customer service for provider or account problems.
  5. Treat ordinary inmate calls, video visits and messages as monitored communications.

Verified family emergency

BCSO says jail staff can take a message in a personal or family emergency after the emergency has been confirmed. This is different from passing an ordinary personal message.

Letters and legal mail

Blount County Inmate Mail Goes to 920 E Lamar Alexander Parkway

The Adult Detention Center publishes a separate inmate-mail address from the 940 E Lamar Alexander Parkway Justice Center address commonly shown in the Sheriff website footer.

Inmate’s Full Name
Blount County Adult Detention Center
920 E Lamar Alexander Parkway
Maryville, TN 37804-5002

Personal mail is inspected. After inspection, letters and envelopes are scanned into the kiosk/tablet system for viewing, while the physical mail is placed with the inmate’s property.

Health information

Medication Drop-Off and Medical Care

BCSO contracts with MediKo for inmate medical services, with Sheriff-employed and contracted medical staff supporting the facility. The Sheriff says a medical doctor is available on call around the clock.

The current medication-drop-off schedule is:

Any day of the week, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.

After opening the official BCSO Medical Care page:
  1. Confirm the inmate remains in BCSO custody.
  2. Review the current medication drop-off window.
  3. Bring only medication appropriate for review by jail medical staff.
  4. Ask staff how prescription information should be supplied when a medication needs verification.
  5. Do not assume an outside prescription will automatically be administered unchanged.
Privacy reminder: family members can give important medical information to jail staff, but medical privacy rules can limit what staff may disclose back to a family member.
Release and personal belongings

Blount County Inmate Property Has a Specific Pickup Schedule

BCSO inventories personal property when an inmate enters the facility. Property can later be returned at release or released to an authorized person under the jail’s rules.

Blount County inmate property pickup schedule
Day
Pickup windows
Tuesday
11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.
Saturday
11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

A person picking up authorized property may be required to show valid photo identification. BCSO also says property not collected within 30 days after release can be treated as abandoned and destroyed.

At release, a remaining inmate account balance is issued by debit card after applicable fees are deducted.

After opening the official Personal Property page:
  1. Confirm the inmate has completed any required property-release authorization.
  2. Use a published Tuesday or Saturday pickup window.
  3. Bring valid photo identification.
  4. Do not delay property pickup after the inmate’s release.
Police and Sheriff reports

How to Request a Blount County Sheriff Report

BCSO now routes public report requests through its online Request Records system. The Records Office maintains incident-related information, detention-facility records and adult criminal-history information, among other agency records.

After opening the official BCSO Request a Report page:
  1. Click the official Request Records link supplied by BCSO.
  2. Select the type of record you need.
  3. Provide the report or case number when known.
  4. Add the incident date and location.
  5. Identify the involved person or vehicle only as needed to locate the record.
  6. Save the request confirmation for follow-up.

Ask the agency that actually created the report

Blount County Jail can hold people arrested by more than one law-enforcement agency. If Maryville Police, Alcoa Police, Tennessee Highway Patrol or another agency created the original incident report, that agency may be the correct records custodian.

Better request wording: ask for a specific incident, crash, arrest or report by case number and date rather than requesting “everything about this person.”
Criminal warrants

How Blount County Warrants Are Issued and Served

BCSO’s Court Support Unit includes a Warrants Unit assigned to locate people for whom a court has issued a criminal arrest warrant. Court Support also serves orders of protection and civil judicial documents.

Blount County Judicial Commissioners are located at the Justice Center and are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. County court information states that commissioners can issue criminal warrants and summonses, arraign people who have been arrested, set bonds and set court dates.

No complete public BCSO warrant-search portal was identified in the current Sheriff resources reviewed for this update. A public court-record search can provide useful case information, but it should not automatically be treated as confirmation that a warrant is active or inactive.
For a warrant-related concern:
  1. Check the Blount County public court-record search for an existing case.
  2. Use the docket number when one is available.
  3. Do not assume a missing online result settles the question.
  4. Use official court or law-enforcement channels for confirmation.
  5. If you believe a warrant concerns you personally, consider speaking with a licensed Tennessee attorney before deciding how to proceed.
Court follow-up

Search Blount County Criminal Court Records After Booking

Blount County provides an online public court-record search for current records. The county says the current database generally covers cases filed from August 1, 2019 to the present, although some older cases may also be available.

Confidential cases are excluded from public online access.

After opening the Blount County Online Court Records Search page:
  1. Open the Public’s Online Court Records Search.
  2. Use the docket number from InmateNOW! when available.
  3. Otherwise search the legal name carefully.
  4. Confirm the correct court and defendant.
  5. Review case status, filings and court dates.
  6. Use the Circuit Court Clerk for official copies.

General Sessions Criminal Court

General Sessions Criminal Court handles misdemeanor cases and preliminary hearings in felony cases. General Sessions criminal records are public unless legally restricted.

Circuit Criminal Court

The Circuit Criminal Division handles filings including felony, misdemeanor, petition and post-conviction matters, along with Grand Jury reports, appeals, orders and other criminal case filings.

Circuit Court Clerk 926 E Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville · 865-273-5400
General Sessions Clerk 865-273-5450
Clerk office hours Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., excluding holidays

Maryville, Alcoa and rural Blount County

The Jail Can Hold Someone Even When BCSO Did Not Make the Arrest

BCSO patrols Blount County through multiple zones that include rural communities, sections near Maryville and Alcoa, Louisville, Friendsville, Townsend, Walland, Alcoa Highway and the Highway 129 “Dragon” area.

But Maryville and Alcoa also operate their own police departments. That matters when you need the original police report.

Local records tip: a person can be booked into the Blount County Adult Detention Facility after an arrest by another local agency. The booking location does not automatically tell you which agency owns the original incident or crash report.
Safety reporting

PREA and Third-Party Sexual Abuse Reporting

BCSO states that its correctional facilities maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward sexual abuse and sexual harassment.

For qualifying third-party reports involving a BCSO corrections facility, the Sheriff publishes the Sexual Assault Center of East Tennessee at 865-522-7273 and the BCSO Tip Hotline at 865-273-5200.

After opening the official BCSO PREA page:
  1. Review the current third-party reporting routes.
  2. Use the outside reporting option when appropriate.
  3. Provide enough information to identify the inmate and concern.
  4. Use 911 when there is an immediate life-threatening emergency.
Local practical checks

Blount County Mistakes That Are Easy to Avoid

  • Using 865-273-5000 as the dispatch line for every non-emergency report. Current Blount County guidance uses 865-983-3620 for non-emergency dispatch.
  • Using 940 E Lamar Alexander Parkway as the inmate-mail address. The Adult Detention Center mail page uses 920 E Lamar Alexander Parkway.
  • Mailing photographs or greeting cards. Current jail-mail rules reject them as physical mail.
  • Sending a commissary money order. BCSO says money orders are no longer accepted for inmate commissary deposits.
  • Calling an inmate directly. Personal incoming inmate calls are not allowed.
  • Assuming a booking charge is the final case outcome. Use the county court-record search.
  • Using the wrong report custodian. Maryville and Alcoa Police maintain their own agency records.
  • Waiting too long to collect released property. BCSO says unclaimed property can be destroyed after 30 days.
  • Assuming a public court search confirms warrant status. It may not.
  • Using an old communication-provider phone number. Start from the live BCSO visitation or telephone page because the Sheriff currently displays different City Tele Coin numbers on those pages.

Editorial review: this guide was rebuilt using current Blount County Sheriff’s Office, Blount County government, court, City Tele Coin-linked and CorrectPay-linked information reviewed in September 2026.

Key corrections: the old article treated 865-273-5000 as the answer for almost every task. The updated page separates the Sheriff main office from non-emergency dispatch, records, inmate lookup, court records, visitation, commissary, mail and other jail services.

Address distinction: the Sheriff’s Justice Center is listed at 940 E Lamar Alexander Parkway, while the official Adult Detention Center inmate-mail page uses 920 E Lamar Alexander Parkway, Maryville, TN 37804-5002.

Freshness notice: custody, bond, court dates, jail vendors, visitation availability, phone numbers and rules can change. Recheck the official destination immediately before paying money, travelling or mailing an item.

Legal/privacy notice: an arrest, booking, charge or warrant-related record is not proof of guilt. Confidential, juvenile, sealed and otherwise protected information may not be publicly available.

FCRA notice: this page, a jail roster or ordinary public-record search is not a consumer report and should not be used as a substitute for a legally compliant employment, housing, credit, insurance or other regulated screening process.
