A person who has been arrested and charged with a crime may be
required to post bail (a bond) before being released from jail. A bond
is insurance to guarantee an arrestee will appear in court for trial.
If that person fails to appear for a court date, the bond money is
forfeited. A bond may be posted in cash, by an arrestee or by someone
on his/her behalf.
A current list a bail bondsman can be obtained from our booking room. Their number is 931-359-0556 |

The main difference is the area of jurisdiction. A sheriff's office provides law enforcement services and/or jail services for a county or other civil subdivision of a state. A police department serves a specific municipality, city, town or village. Often, cities contract for law enforcement services with the county sheriff's office.
