Search Loudon County Arrest Records Online

Loudon County uses the ISOMS (Integrated Software for Offender Management) portal for its online inmate search. The ISOMS portal at tnac.isoms.cloud lets anyone look up current inmates in the Loudon County jail. No account is needed. The system shows names, charges, bond amounts, booking dates, and arresting agencies.

The ISOMS portal is free to use and updates throughout the day. You can browse the full jail roster or search for a specific person by name. This is the same system used by several other Tennessee counties, so the interface will look familiar if you have used it before for counties like Anderson County.

The portal shows active inmates only. Once someone is released from the Loudon County jail, they drop off the current roster. For older booking records that are no longer on the portal, contact the Sheriff's Office directly or submit a public records request.

Third-party jail roster sites also cover Loudon County. The Tennessee Jail Roster website pulls booking data from public sources and lets you search by name.

These third-party sites can be useful as a backup when the ISOMS portal is down or slow. But the official ISOMS portal is the most reliable source for current Loudon County inmate data.
