Criminal record search in Tennessee
Online criminal searches are only as good as the databases behind them, and Tennessee's county records do not all get there. Pinnacle's private eyes go to the courthouse.
Criminal Record Search handled by a licensed private detective agency
A true criminal record search in Tennessee means checking General Sessions and Circuit Court records in each county where the subject has lived, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's statewide repository where authorized, federal courts through PACER, and out-of-state jurisdictions where the subject's history leads. Pinnacle's private eyes run these searches for attorneys, employers, landlords, families and individuals who need accurate, current results and documentation of exactly what was checked.
We report what the record shows, including dispositions, and we note where a record exists but is sealed, expunged or diverted so that the results are used lawfully. For employment and housing decisions we operate under the FCRA.
Situations criminal record search casework is built for
If one of these sounds familiar, a confidential conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies the next step.
- A person who will be trusted with money, children or the vulnerable
- A litigation opponent or witness whose credibility matters
- A new partner, tenant, contractor or roommate
- A subject with a history across several counties or states
- A database result that needs courthouse verification
- Your own record, when you need to know what shows up
