Who to Call at Jackson County Sheriff's Office: Emergency vs Non-Emergency (and when to call the jail)

If a crime is in progress, call 9-1-1. That's the fastest way to get emergency help routed to you.

For situations that aren't immediate emergencies, call the Jackson County Sheriff's Office main line at (256) 574-2610. This is the right number when a crime has already happened and you need a deputy to come to your location. You can request a deputy and file an incident report without tying up 9-1-1.

You can also make an incident report in person at the Sheriff's Office, located in the Jackson County Courthouse. Not sure whether to go in or have a deputy come to you? Call the main line at (256) 574-2610. They can send a deputy to your location to take the report there instead.

To report suspected drug selling or trafficking, call the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office at (256) 574-2610. Information you provide will be passed on to the Narcotics Division, and you can share what you know without giving your name.

For questions about someone's bond type or bond amount, call the Jackson County Jail at 256-574-1884. Bond details vary by person, so the jail is the right place to confirm what applies to that individual.

Here's a common issue: cash bonds cannot be paid at the Jackson County Jail. They must be paid at the Jackson County Clerk's Office or the municipality owed. If you're unsure what kind of bond is required, call the jail at 256-574-1884 first to confirm the exact bond type and amount before you try to pay anything.
