Where to Find Booking Reports in Major Alabama Cities

Alabama has ten cities with populations over 50,000. City police make arrests within city limits, but county sheriff offices handle all jail bookings. This means city residents access booking reports through their county sheriff, not the city police department. Select a city below to find out which county maintains booking records for that area.

Huntsville became Alabama's largest city in 2021, passing Birmingham. Hoover is unique because it spans two counties, Jefferson and Shelby, so bookings may go to either sheriff depending on where in the city the arrest occurred.
