How to Check Criminal History in Tallassee
Tallassee criminal records split by agency, custody site, court level, and county. Police hold the incident or arrest report. Tallassee City Jail may hold a person before any county transfer. Municipal Court keeps city citations and outcomes. A felony or District case belongs in Elmore or Tallapoosa County based on where it was filed, not merely the city name.
No public Tallassee police-report or municipal case-search portal was found. Direct phone, counter, and court email channels are central. Prepare exact identifiers and confirm the county before contacting a county clerk.
- Call Tallassee Police or City Jail at 334-283-6586 when the event or custody is local.
- Request a police report with the report number, event details, involved name, and exact record sought.
- Call Municipal Court at 334-283-5425 or use its published court email for a city citation or disposition.
- Confirm whether a higher case was filed in Elmore or Tallapoosa County, then contact that clerk or jail.
- Use ALEA's fingerprint route to inspect and challenge one's own statewide Alabama criminal history.
Tallassee Criminal Records Cross Counties
Tallassee spans Elmore and Tallapoosa Counties. One city name therefore cannot identify the county court file. Start with the incident location, citation, arresting agency, booking facility, or case number. Ask the city clerk which county received a transferred or higher-level matter when the paperwork is unclear.
| Record clue | Likely starting office | Boundary check |
|---|---|---|
| TPD report | Tallassee Police | Ask where any county case was filed |
| City jail custody | Tallassee City Jail | Ask whether and where transfer occurred |
| Municipal citation | Tallassee Municipal Court | City file may note county or appeal |
| Felony or District case | Correct county clerk | Confirm Elmore versus Tallapoosa |
A Tallapoosa-side prosecution will not appear simply because someone searched Elmore's clerk or jail. A city boundary is never enough to infer venue.
When the county remains unclear, ask Tallassee police, jail, or court staff to identify the receiving office rather than sending the same broad request to both counties.
The Tallassee Police Department
The Tallassee Police Department is at 214 Barnett Boulevard, Tallassee, AL 36078. The main police number is 334-283-6586, and the administrative assistant is 334-283-6588. The city also lists 3 Freeman Avenue for mailing functions.
No downloadable police report-copy form, posted police-copy fee, or public report search was located. Call before sending payment or private details. State the report number, event date and time, location, involved person, requester contacts, and exact item needed. Ask about identification, fee, delivery, and turnaround.

The Barnett Boulevard office creates the police record and also shares the location with Tallassee's distinctive city custody channel.
Tallassee City Jail Records
Tallassee is the main local exception to the assumption that each municipal arrest first appears in the Elmore roster. The city officially operates the Tallassee City Jail at 214 Barnett Boulevard. Call 334-283-6586 first when the event and custody point to Tallassee.
A city booking may not appear in Elmore County's current or released roster while the person remains in Tallassee custody. Ask whether the person is still held locally, was released, or was transferred. If transferred, identify the receiving county or state facility before searching again.
City jail custody still does not prove what charge a prosecutor filed or how a court resolved it. Get the police report from TPD and the judicial outcome from Municipal Court or the correct county clerk.
Arrests and Bookings in Tallassee
A Tallassee arrest can take more than one custody path. Tallassee City Jail may create the first booking. A later transfer can produce a county record. A sentenced person may eventually appear in Alabama Department of Corrections data. Each entry describes a different custody stage.
For an Elmore-side transfer, search the sheriff roster by first or last name and compare booking date, age, arresting agency, charges, and bond. For a Tallapoosa-side matter, use the actual receiving jurisdiction. Do not infer a transfer from the absence of a Tallassee record or assume every TPD arrest belongs in Elmore.
The broader Elmore County arrest records resource explains the county roster, but Tallassee City Jail remains the city-specific first call.
Tallassee Municipal or District Case
Tallassee Municipal Court handles city matters within municipal jurisdiction. Elmore District Court handles county misdemeanors and preliminary felony stages for Elmore filings. A Tallapoosa-side higher case belongs with that county's court. The police charge label alone may not settle which court ultimately received the prosecution.
Mandatory Tallassee court appearances include alcohol or drug cases, suspended or revoked license matters, charges involving a 16- or 17-year-old, and reckless driving. Those rules explain why some citations cannot be handled as a simple remote payment. The city's online traffic-payment page says “Available Soon,” so it is not a working record search.
Note: Confirm the venue printed on the citation before calling an Elmore or Tallapoosa County office.

Tallassee Citations Show the Boundary
Tallassee's published traffic fine examples visibly reflect its two-county setting. Speeding and red-light or stop-sign citations are listed at $196 on the Elmore side and $188 on the Tallapoosa side. No-insurance examples are $226 and $218. Loud-music examples are $393 and $385. An expired-tag example is $196 and $188.
Use the live schedule for the actual citation. The city says to send or bring the signed ticket, mail payment to 3 Freeman Avenue, and include a stamped return envelope for a receipt. Accepted methods are cash, money order, Visa, Mastercard, and debit, with no checks. A fine example is not proof that a charge can be paid without an appearance.
Where Tallassee Records End Up
Tallassee Police creates the city incident or arrest report. Tallassee City Jail may create the first custody record. Municipal Court records the city case. A higher case moves to the correct Elmore or Tallapoosa court, and fingerprints and reported dispositions can reach ALEA.
Record flow: Tallassee Police Department and City Jail › Tallassee Municipal Court or correct county court › Alabama Law Enforcement Agency
Check city sources for the most recent event. Use the correct county clerk for a filed prosecution and certified outcome. ALEA's fingerprint self-review is the official statewide path for one's own history, not a general public name search.
Get the Right Tallassee Disposition
Certification must come from the court that entered the result. Tallassee Municipal Court supplies a city disposition. An Elmore-side felony or District result belongs with the Elmore Circuit Clerk. A Tallapoosa-side filing requires the corresponding county clerk. If the city matter was appealed, ask which court now holds the controlling outcome.
A certified disposition can help with correction of one's own ALEA history or an Alabama expungement petition. Pair the court record with exact arrest data and the proper booking holder. A city jail or county roster entry cannot substitute for the final certified judicial record.
Tallassee Criminal Data Context
FBI Crime Data Explorer ORI AL0290200 reported 51 violent offenses and 304 property offenses for 2024, plus no arson. The breakdown was 9 rape, 8 robbery, 34 aggravated assault, 123 burglary, 158 larceny-theft, and 23 motor-vehicle theft offenses.
The agency jurisdiction spans Elmore and Tallapoosa, so these counts cannot be assigned only to Elmore. They are reported offenses, not unique people, arrests, or convictions. They should not be used to predict an individual's history. A specific record still requires the city, jail, court, and county checks that fit the event.
Tallassee Criminal Records Geography
Tallassee's 2025 Census estimate was 4,738, making it the third municipality in the Elmore profile ranking. Population size does not simplify its record route. The historic mill-city setting crosses a county line, while the local jail creates a city custody layer that Millbrook and Wetumpka do not share.
That mix makes Tallassee criminal record searches depend more on venue than population rank. Keep the ticket, report number, arresting-agency name, booking site, and court notice together. Those details can show whether the next call belongs at Barnett Boulevard, Freeman Avenue, the Elmore clerk, or a Tallapoosa County office.
Requesting Tallassee Police Records
A precise Tallassee police request begins with the report rather than a person's broad history. Give TPD the report number, event date and time, location, involved name, requester contact information, and exact item or format sought. If the number is unknown, provide enough event detail for staff to identify the file without confusing it with a jail or court record.
No official Tallassee police-copy form, standard fee, identification rule, or turnaround was located. Call 334-283-6588 for administrative routing and confirm the current method before sending payment. The court email belongs to Municipal Court business and is not a blanket police-record inbox. Ask police directly about redaction or access. If the event produced city custody, follow with the Tallassee City Jail. If a charge was filed, get the later result from the correct city or county clerk.
Correcting Tallassee Criminal History
A Tallassee entry on one's own ALEA history can be hard to reconcile when the city jail and two counties are involved. Start with the TPD arrest record. Identify whether Tallassee City Jail or a county jail booked the person. Then obtain the final certified disposition from Tallassee Municipal Court, the Elmore clerk, or the Tallapoosa clerk that actually entered the result.
ALEA's fingerprint self-review package requires the application, current photo identification, official fingerprints, and a $25 cashier's check or money order. An extra copy is $5. When challenging a missing or wrong disposition, use the exact arrest and case identifiers and follow ALEA's current instructions. A roster image or city-jail confirmation shows custody, not the final judicial outcome. The certified record from the correct Tallassee or county court is the stronger source for resolving the state entry.
Public Access Rules
Alabama public-record law applies to Tallassee city writings, but legal limits remain. Active investigations, juvenile and youthful-offender records, victim or minor identifiers, sealed or expunged material, and restricted repository data may be withheld or redacted. Court access follows the practices of the city or county clerk that holds the file.
Key Statutes:
Alabama Code § 36-12-40 gives citizens inspection and copying rights for public writings, subject to exceptions.
Alabama Code § 41-13-1 broadly defines public records for record management.
Alabama Code § 41-9-590 et seq. controls criminal-justice information systems and dissemination.
Alabama Code § 12-15-133 protects juvenile legal and social records.
Send a focused request to the office that created the record. A Tallassee police response does not replace a city or county court disposition, and one county's result does not answer whether the case was filed across the line.
