Lebanon Police Department Arrest Records
The Lebanon Police Department is the primary law enforcement agency for the city. LPD officers make arrests within Lebanon city limits and transport people to the Wilson County Jail for booking.

The arresting agency field shows "Lebanon Police Department" for LPD arrests. Other agencies that book into the same jail include the Wilson County Sheriff's Office, Mount Juliet Police, and Tennessee Highway Patrol officers working in the area.

Lebanon Arrest Records and Tennessee Law
Booking reports from Lebanon are public records. Tennessee law makes this clear. Under Tenn. Code Ann. § 10-7-503, all government records must be open for inspection during business hours. You do not need a reason to ask. You do not have to fill out a form. Just ask at the jail and they must let you look at booking records. This covers both Lebanon city arrests and all other bookings at the Wilson County Jail.
If the records take time to gather, the jail has seven business days under state law to respond. They can provide the records, deny the request in writing, or give you a timeline. Copy fees follow the schedule under Tenn. Code Ann. § 8-4-604. No charge for the first hour of staff time. Copies run about $0.15 per page for black and white. The Office of Open Records Counsel at (615) 401-7891 can step in if a records request gets denied or delayed.
Statewide Search Tools for Lebanon
Beyond the Wilson County jail system, Tennessee has statewide databases that cover Lebanon arrests. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation runs TORIS, a statewide criminal background check system. Each search costs $29. Results show whether someone has a criminal history anywhere in Tennessee. This goes beyond what you find in a single county jail search. TORIS picks up records from all 95 counties.
The Felony Offender Information Lookup from the Tennessee Department of Correction is free. It covers anyone who has been in state prison. Search by name or TDOC ID to find booking photos, sentence details, and current location. If someone booked at the Wilson County Jail after a Lebanon arrest later went to state prison, they show up in FOIL.
The Wilson County Sheriff's Office also maintains booking records for all arrests in the county. Their warrants division handles reports that get sent to the TBI and FBI for statistical purposes. Contact the Sheriff's Office directly if you need detailed records beyond what the online search tool shows for Lebanon bookings.
