Find Double Springs Criminal Records

Checking Criminal History in Double Springs

A Double Springs record check should begin with ownership. Town police reports and city citations stay with town offices. Winston County bookings, state criminal cases, and probation records have different keepers, even though many of those offices share a Double Springs mailing place. A name by itself does not tell a reader which counter has the answer.

1. Contact Double Springs Police Department for the incident or arrest report created by a town officer.
2. Search the town ticket portal using the citation number route or the date-of-birth route.
3. Call the municipal clerk for a city docket, disposition, or copy that is not available through the portal.
4. For custody, call Winston County Jail. For a state court case, use the Winston Circuit Clerk or Just One Look.
5. Use ALEA Form 46 and fingerprints only when reviewing one’s own statewide Alabama CHRI.

These steps separate an officer’s narrative, a jail intake, a town ticket, a county case, and an identity-linked state record.

Four Double Springs Record Custodians

Double Springs is the county seat, but that does not merge city and county records. Town Hall and Town Court sit at 21 Main Street. The Winston County Circuit Clerk keeps state court records at 10 Blake Drive. Sheriff administration is next door at 11 Blake Drive, Room 1. Winston County Jail is at 25166 Highway 195. The Alabama Bureau of Pardons and Paroles field office is nearby at 24714 Highway 195.

Physical closeness can be misleading. Send the request to the office that made the record.

For a court copy, give the clerk a case number and document name when possible. For a booking, ask the jail for the booking date, arresting agency, public charge, bond, and release status. For a police narrative, give the town the incident date and place. These small details keep one office from having to guess what another office holds. They also help a requester avoid paying for the wrong product.

Double Springs Police Department Records

The official Double Springs Police Department page lists Police Chief Andy Tucker and places the department with Town Hall at 21 Main Street, P.O. Box 279, Double Springs, AL 35553. The daytime line is (205) 489-5447. After hours, calls route to Winston County Sheriff dispatch at (205) 489-2115.

No town police report form, dedicated request portal, public blotter, records email, fee schedule, or app was found. Call the department and name the report wanted. Useful details include the event date and location, report number if known, name used in the file, and preferred delivery format. Ask whether the public copy will be redacted and what fee or identification rule applies. A written Alabama Open Records Act request can follow when a routine phone request does not resolve access.

The manifest’s official police page capture shows the town’s direct contact route.

It confirms that town records begin at the local department, while after-hours dispatch is a county service.

After-Hours Double Springs Records Routing

The after-hours sheriff dispatch number is for police response and routing, not a substitute records counter. For an event that just occurred, dispatch can help identify the responding agency and may confirm where a person was taken. A later request for the report still goes to the agency that wrote it. A booking request goes to the jail. A filed charge or court outcome goes to the proper clerk.

This distinction helps when several Double Springs offices touch the same event. A town officer may make the arrest, county jail staff may complete intake, and a municipal or state court may receive the charge. Each step creates its own record at a different time. Ask dispatch only for enough routing detail to find the correct custodian, then follow the office’s normal public-record channel.

Double Springs Arrests and Bookings

No official town jail, town booking log, or current police arrest feed was identified. After a Double Springs arrest, call the Police Department or sheriff dispatch to confirm the receiving facility. Winston County Jail handles local detention at 25166 Highway 195 and can be reached at (205) 489-5205. Research found no verified official Winston online roster, so the phone and a focused written booking request are the documented local paths.

A booking sheet may show intake time, arresting agency, initial allegations, bond or holds, custody status, and release. It does not show the final court result. If a state prosecution follows, search the clerk’s docket. If a town citation follows, check the municipal portal or clerk. The countywide Winston County arrest lookup gives the full local jail, ADOC, and self-review chain.

Note: A booking charge can be changed, dismissed, or replaced after prosecutors review the matter and before later court proceedings.

Search Double Springs Citation Records

The Double Springs ticket search gives two ways to find a municipal citation. The ticket-number tab requires a last name plus the ticket or case number. The date-of-birth tab requires a last name plus date of birth. Each pair must be complete before the Search button can locate a match.

The manifest’s official portal image records the live field layout.

The portal’s narrow scope is useful: it answers a city citation question without pretending to be a full criminal-history system.

Municipal Court Records in Double Springs

Double Springs Municipal Court meets on the third Wednesday of each month at 3:00 p.m. at 21 Main Street. The court phone is (205) 489-5447 and fax is (205) 489-3529. The town page names Judge Jonathan Lowe, prosecutor Jack Bostick, city attorney Jeff Mobley, clerk and magistrate Kristi Bonds, and magistrates Kim Ownby and Whitney Courington.

The monthly court schedule can change. Call before planning an in-person records visit.

A portal match should be read as a municipal lead, not a final account of a person’s history. Ask the clerk for the current disposition when the online display is unclear or a formal copy is needed. A city case can contain several events, and a later order may change what an earlier screen appeared to show. The court file is the source for its own outcome.

Double Springs City or County Case

A municipal ticket is not a Winston County felony file. Double Springs Municipal Court handles town citations and matters allowed within municipal jurisdiction. Winston District Court handles misdemeanors, traffic matters, preliminary felony work, and certain guilty pleas before indictment. Circuit Court is the principal felony trial court. The Winston Circuit Clerk keeps both county trial-court divisions.

Read the issuing agency and court name on the citation, bond paper, or notice. A town citation belongs with the municipal clerk. A state case number or District or Circuit filing belongs with the county clerk and may be available through Just One Look. If the online image is missing, call (205) 489-5533 with the case number, document name, and a plain-versus-certified copy choice. The full Winston County criminal court cases route covers those county files.

Where Double Springs Records Go

A Double Springs police report remains with the town department. A municipal citation goes to Town Court. A county jail intake stays with Winston County Jail. State charges and their outcomes proceed through District or Circuit Court. Fingerprints and qualifying dispositions may then be reported to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency repository.

Record flow: Double Springs Police Department › municipal or Winston County court › Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Criminal Records Identification Unit.

ALEA does not offer the public an unrestricted name search of Alabama CHRI. A person seeking their own identity-confirmed state record uses Form 46, fingerprints taken by an authorized law-enforcement agency with an FBI ORI, current photo ID, and the official payment. That process may take weeks, so it is not a substitute for calling Double Springs police or court about a recent local event.

Double Springs Supervision Records

The ABPP Double Springs Field Office at 24714 Highway 195 serves Winston County adults on probation and parole. Its published number is (205) 489-3222, and its hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The state profile describes monitoring, home visits, court appearances, and crisis or resource work.

The public court docket may show that probation was imposed. It does not make every supervision note, home address, officer assignment, risk assessment, treatment detail, or investigation public. There is no verified general public name lookup for Winston probation status. Ask ABPP only for information it may lawfully release, or use its public-record framework for a defined record.

Double Springs Court Record Snapshot

FY2023 Alabama judicial data list 222 Double Springs Municipal Court cases and $105,913.16 in revenue. These figures measure one fiscal year of municipal court work. They do not mean that Double Springs had 222 crimes or 222 convictions. Traffic citations and other municipal matters contribute to the total.

ALEA’s historical 2016 table lists 17 index crimes for Double Springs. It is an older law-enforcement snapshot and should always carry its year. A court filing total, a crime report, an arrest count, and a conviction count are not interchangeable. For a person or event, rely on the underlying town report and the actual court disposition.

Public Access Rules in Double Springs

The Alabama Open Records Act applies to qualifying public writings, but access has limits. Double Springs may redact or withhold active investigative detail, juvenile or youthful-offender material, victim and minor identifiers, Social Security numbers, financial account data, sealed or expunged content, and other records protected by law. State court records follow their own privacy and confidentiality rules.

Make a narrow request and ask for any segregable public portion. Alabama’s 2024 procedures generally call for a standard request to be acknowledged within 10 business days and fulfilled or denied within 15 business days after acknowledgment, subject to written extensions. A time-intensive request follows a longer track and may require prepayment.
