Anderson County ISOMS Portal for Busted Mugshots
Anderson County uses the ISOMS system for its online jail roster. This portal shows current inmates booked into the Anderson County jail, including people arrested by Oak Ridge police. The system is live at tnac.isoms.cloud.
The ISOMS portal shows each inmate's name, charges, booking date, and bond information. Some entries include mugshot photos. The system updates as new bookings happen, so recent Oak Ridge arrests will show up once the person has been processed. You can search by name to find a specific person. The portal is free to use and works at any time.
Keep in mind that the ISOMS portal shows inmates from all of Anderson County, not just Oak Ridge. You will see arrests from Clinton (the county seat), Oliver Springs, and other parts of the county mixed in. Check the arresting agency to confirm which arrests came from Oak Ridge PD.
Oak Ridge Police Department Records
The Oak Ridge Police Department provides law enforcement for the city. You can find department info at oakridgetn.gov/police. The Records Division handles requests for police reports, incident reports, and arrest records.
To get a copy of an Oak Ridge mugshot or arrest report, you need to submit a records request. Under T.C.A. § 10-7-503, Tennessee law gives you the right to inspect and copy most public records. That includes booking photos and arrest reports. The department must respond within 7 business days. Tennessee residency may be needed for some requests. Fees apply for copies of records.
Oak Ridge police coordinate with the Anderson County Sheriff's Office for jail operations. After an arrest, the person is taken to the Anderson County jail for booking. The mugshot is captured there, not at the Oak Ridge police station. So even though ORPD makes the arrest, the booking photo goes into the Anderson County system.
