Communication

The White County Sheriff's Office public page highlights the Digital Siren app (Powered by Pursuit Alert) for local emergency and pursuit alerts, with direct download links for iPhone and Android. If you're trying to stay in touch with someone in custody, most Tennessee jails handle phone access through outbound calls placed by inmates. These calls are typically monitored and recorded. Many facilities also use third-party vendors for phone service, video visits, and tablet messaging. The inmate initiates calls from housing phones or tablets, and you'll usually need to create an account with the approved vendor and add funds (often through a vendor app, website, or lobby kiosk). Your number generally must be on the inmate's approved list, so confirm which vendor White County uses before registering.
