View DeKalb County Most Wanted

DeKalb County Has No Published Most-Wanted Roster

No official DeKalb County most-wanted roster was located in the county sources reviewed. The public statewide source is the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Top 10 Most Wanted program, a selected public-safety notice rather than a county warrant directory.

Use the official TBI program page for its current notices and instructions. This civic reference describes the program only. It does not copy names, photographs, mugshots, addresses, or a roster.

TBI Most Wanted Is Not a DeKalb County List

The TBI page is statewide and curated. It is not designed to return every outstanding warrant in DeKalb County, and the county's official Sheriff pages do not publish a county roster. A notice on the state program should not be treated as proof about a separate county case.

The TBI page explains its own eligibility and public tip route. Follow the program's safety instructions and let law enforcement handle any response. Do not approach or try to detain anyone shown by an official program.

How the Most Wanted and Warrant Roundup Lists Work

A curated wanted notice uses program criteria and agency selection, while an active-warrant list would be a broader court or agency status product. TBI's public page describes eligibility and rewards, but it does not make the program a county inventory. DeKalb published no update schedule for a local list because none was verified.

The DeKalb County Sheriff Has No Public Roster

The county's Sheriff and Sheriff's Department pages describe law-enforcement duties and provide official contact numbers, but the research did not find a public county most-wanted page or active-warrant roster. A 2023 county invoice referenced a warrant-program update and a domain that could not be verified as a working public portal.

For a DeKalb case, call the Circuit Court Clerk at 615-597-5711 for court records and the Sheriff at 615-597-4935 for service or surrender routing. The Sheriff's tip line is not a personal status lookup.

This distinction also applies to a family member's inquiry: use the court record, not an old invoice or a search-result snippet.

How to Report a Tip Safely

TBI accepts tips through its official tip channels, including the online route and 1-800-TBI-FIND. The agency describes anonymous reporting and reward eligibility. A tip is information for investigators, not a way to ask whether a warrant exists for you or a relative.

1. Open the official TBI tip page or call 1-800-TBI-FIND.
2. Share what you know through that agency route and follow its instructions for an anonymous submission.
3. Do not approach, follow, or detain anyone; use 911 for an emergency.
4. Follow TBI's own directions about tip numbers and whether information qualifies for a reward.

Report TBI Tips Without Approaching Anyone

The TBI tip page explains how a person may submit information online or by phone and how reward eligibility is handled. It directs the public to report, not to make contact with someone named in a notice. For immediate danger, the local emergency route is 911.

DeKalb's Sheriff's Department lists an anonymous tip line at 615-464-6400. That local tip line is not a warrant-status line. For your own court matter, use the issuing clerk and ask about the current record.

TBI's official tip instructions describe its online and phone routes.

The tip interface is shown as a public contact resource, not as a warrant search.

Most Wanted vs an Active Warrant

A curated fugitive notice and a court's active process have different scope. TBI's program selects notices for statewide public attention; DeKalb has no verified countywide active-warrant list. The county clerk and issuing court remain the right source for a case-specific status.

Middle Tennessee Federal Tips Are Not a County Lookup

DeKalb County is within the U.S. Marshals Service Middle District of Tennessee. The Middle Tennessee Joint Fugitive Task Force coordinates federal, state, and local agencies, but its public tip number is a lead channel, not a personal warrant search or local roster.

For a possible federal case, use the federal court record, counsel, or the Marshals Service route. PACER is a federal docket service, not a warrant-status certificate. A DeKalb County court clerk cannot recall federal process.

The USMS Middle District page describes the local federal task-force context.

PACER’s fee guidance describes costs for accessing federal case records, not the existence or status of a warrant.

A federal docket and a county warrant inquiry are separate records with separate custodians.

County Court Dockets Answer a Different Question

DeKalb County’s court and docket pages organize information about General Sessions, Circuit, Criminal, traffic, and other court activity. They are informational docket resources, not a curated most-wanted program and not a statewide name-based warrant search. A docket entry may describe a proceeding without showing whether a separate warrant remains active.

For county court details, call the Circuit Court Clerk at 615-597-5711 with the case number or participant name. The Sheriff’s Department handles county service questions at 615-597-4935 or 615-597-4043. Use the office that holds the record instead of a public-safety tip channel.

The county court and docket page describes its court divisions and access limits.

If You Believe You Are on a List

If you think a public notice relates to you, do not approach the listed agency alone or rely on a screenshot. Ask a Tennessee attorney to help identify the issuing court and confirm whether process remains active. The Circuit Court Clerk can route county record questions; the Sheriff can explain service or custody logistics.
