Official Van Buren Contacts

For current county custody, a booking record, or a booking-photo request, begin with:

Van Buren County Sheriff’s Office
121 Taft Drive, Suite A
Spencer, TN 38585
(931) 946-2118

The county publishes no separate records-unit number, email, or counter hours. Call to identify the current records custodian or Public Records Request Coordinator before mailing. The county’s general number is (931) 946-2314.

Van Buren County Circuit Court Clerk
Lavetta Simmons
121 Taft Drive
Spencer, TN 38585
(931) 946-2153

Use the clerk for the local filed case and disposition within that office’s role. For Spencer incident or citation records, contact Spencer Police through City Hall at 12180 State Route 111, Spencer, TN 38585, (931) 946-2351 ext. 2.

Choose the route that matches the question:

  • Use the home page for the full county custody, booking-photo, warrant, and records-request sequence.
  • Call the sheriff for a new booking, current custody, release, transfer, or county booking document.
  • Call Spencer Police for a city incident report or municipal citation path.
  • Use the Circuit Court Clerk for the filed local case and outcome.
  • Use Tennessee VINE for custody-event alerts about a named person.
  • Use TDOC FOIL for state prison or supervision, not a fresh county arrest.
  • Use the BOP or ICE locator only for the matching federal custody system.

Charges are accusations, and a booking record does not establish guilt. Verify the court outcome separately.
