Dyer County Inmate Population
Dyer County inmate population searches begin in Dyersburg with the jail and the county executive office. The public record trail is simple once you know the county uses a live roster path, a separate county executive office for records, and JailATM for inmate mail. That means you can start with a name or booking date, then move to the records office if you need a paper trail. Dyer County also keeps a most wanted list and a jail roster information portal, so the search is not limited to one page. Use the county first, then the Tennessee backup tools if the answer moves beyond local custody.
Dyer County Quick Facts
Search Dyer County Inmate Population
The Dyer County roster portal at dyercountyjailtn.org is the strongest local place to start a Dyer County inmate population check. The research says the jail is at 401 East Cedar Street in Dyersburg, has a capacity of 184 inmates, and houses adult inmates charged with misdemeanor and felony crimes. It also notes that inmates are awaiting trial or serving sentence, which is the key detail many searchers need before they move on to a records request or a family mail question.
Dyer County also keeps the search practical by listing a most wanted fugitives page and a roster search path that can be used by first name, last name, or date of birth. That gives the county a live search side and a fugitive side, so you do not have to treat every custody question the same way. Sheriff Jeff Box and Chief Deputy Mike Boals are part of the county structure in the research, which keeps the booking trail tied to a real office rather than a loose database.
The county search is strongest when the roster portal and the sheriff contact path are treated as the local starting point.
Dyer County Inmate Population Records
Dyer County inmate population records move through the county executive office at 1 Veteran Square in Dyersburg. The office phone is 731-286-7800, and the research says requests can be made in person or by mail, with a seven business day response window. That helps when the roster gives you the name but not the paper record you need. The county executive office is the written path, while the jail page is the live custody path.
The mail rules are also distinct. Dyer County Jail no longer accepts physical mail at the facility. Instead, the county uses electronic mail through the JailATM phone app, and the research gives a fallback mailing address for people without internet access. That detail is useful because it tells you the county is not using a standard jail mailbox. The search must follow the county's current mail system, or the item will not reach the inmate.
The second image below is the state backup if the county roster does not answer the whole question.
That state page helps when a Dyer County inmate population question moves from local booking into a Tennessee record search.

Note: Dyer County inmate population records are easiest to use when you keep the jail page, the county executive office, and the Tennessee backup search in sequence.
Dyer County Inmate Population TDOC Resources
TDOC pages are the next step when a Dyer County inmate population search leaves local custody. The FOIL page at tn.gov/correction/agency-services/foil.html is the state offender search tool, and the main correction page at tn.gov/correction.html keeps the broader custody system in one place. Those pages matter here because Dyer County holds some people only for a short time, then the record shifts to state custody or another placement.
The victim services page at tn.gov/correction/victim-services.html can help when you need movement notice or a transfer update. The county most wanted list and the JailATM mail rules show how local custody works, but TDOC still matters when the person is no longer in the county jail. That is why the county and state search paths should be used together.
If the county page gives you the booking, the state page gives you the wider custody trail.
The county roster portal and the most wanted list also make Dyer County easier to scan when you know only a last name or a rough booking date.
