Every year hundreds of Decatur County arrest warrant searches are launched by private agencies, law enforcement entities from outside the state, and civilian applicants. These inquiries are not just meant to bring back details on the outstanding warrants in the name of the subject but to get complete background reports.

Most applicants are content with details on arrest records from Decatur County, active warrants, criminal case disposition, and sentencing. However, some are looking to find civil court data as well. While the police can do a fantastic job when it comes to handling crime-related inquiries, they cannot oblige when it comes to civil cases.

For this, you will need to approach an agency that maintains a presence in the civil and criminal tribunals of the area. Although the magistrate is the authoritative entity in the judicial juggernaut, different court divisions have been created to tackle criminal infractions and civil litigations.

So, you will either have to be prepared to do a bit of running around or make do with information on arrests and warrants or just on civil matters. One option works on all counts; the county clerk’s office keeps the court dockets for all tribunals, so they can initiate a regular Decatur County warrant search or get you combined results from their central judicial repository.

  • The office of the sheriff: 38 N East St, Decaturville, Tennessee 38329
  • The court of the magistrate: 22 W Main St, Decaturville, TN 38329
