Monroe County Official Contacts

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office lists its main office at 4500 New Hwy. 68, Suite 1, Madisonville, TN 37354. The main phone is (423) 442-3911, and Jail Administration uses the same number, Option 3. Non-emergency dispatch is (423) 442-4357. The sheriff lists office hours as Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding holidays. Use 911 for an emergency.

Sheriff public-records requests are routed through the Monroe County Department of Finance, not a separate jail record portal. Finance Director Gail Sensibaugh is listed at 103 College Street South, Suite 9, Madisonville, TN 37354, phone (423) 442-9383 and fax (423) 442-7933. Hours listed are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Wednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; with lunch closure from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. The sheriff does not publish a fixed booking-photo fee, so ask Finance for the current estimate.

  • For current Monroe County custody, use the county booking and roster path.
  • For an existing sheriff booking record or photograph, use the Finance route and provide a specific date range.
  • For a court case or docket, use the Monroe Circuit Court Clerk at (423) 442-2396.
  • For a city incident report, contact the arresting police department or its records coordinator.
  • For a state felony-custody record, use the Tennessee Department of Correction Offender Search.
  • For a federal or immigration detention question, use the controlling BOP or ICE locator.

The current source is always more important than a copied online listing. A name match, a jail release, and a court disposition answer different questions, so ask the office for the particular record needed.
