Albertville City Jail Overview
Albertville City Jail is operated by the Albertville Police Department. Official city sources list the police address as 201 S Broad Street, Albertville, AL 35950, and publish a direct City Jail phone number of 256-891-8276. The police page also gives the Police Department main phone as 256-878-1212. The city staff directory identifies Regina Thomas as Jail Warden and lists a separate phone number for that role. The city police page identifies J.T. Cartee as Chief of Police and lists a records office contact for police reports.
This is a city jail page, not a county jail page. The official Albertville sources do not publish an online city jail roster, city jail capacity, booking-photo gallery, mail rules, money-deposit vendor, commissary rules, or bond-payment instructions. Because those details were not published by Albertville, they should not be filled in with Marshall County Jail's JailATM, Inmate Sales, scanned-mail, or county visitation rules. The correct local workflow is to use Albertville contacts for immediate city custody and city records, then use the Marshall County Sheriff's Office roster tied to Sheriff's Department head Phil Sims only if the person is actually in county jail custody.
The official Albertville Police page is the source for the city jail contact block and Sunday visitation note: cityofalbertville.com/175/Police.
The screenshot is tied to this page because it is the located city source that confirms Albertville's jail contact and the limited published visitation window.
Albertville City Jail Capacity and Population
No official Albertville page inspected for this build published a rated capacity, average daily population, live detainee count, pod count, or male/female population split for Albertville City Jail. That absence is important. A municipal jail may hold people briefly for city matters, but the published source set does not establish a public roster or population dashboard. Any current custody question should be confirmed through the City Jail phone or the Albertville Police Department.
The Marshall County current roster is not a city jail population report. It can become relevant only after a person is moved into Marshall County Jail custody. Likewise, the Alabama Department of Corrections inmate search is for sentenced state prisoners, not for newly arrested Albertville municipal detainees. Federal BOP and ICE tools are separate systems and should be used only when there is a federal or immigration custody reason.
How to Look Up Someone at Albertville City Jail
Albertville did not publish a searchable jail roster in the captured official sources. The lookup path is therefore a phone and records workflow, followed by the county roster if the person is no longer in city custody. For immediate questions after an Albertville arrest, use the City Jail phone or the police main number. For an arrest report, use the Albertville Police Records Office in the front lobby at 201 S Broad Street during published records hours.
- Call Albertville City Jail at 256-891-8276 for immediate city jail custody questions.
- If the issue involves a police report or arrest report, contact Albertville Police Records at 256-891-8224 during weekday business hours.
- Check the Marshall County current inmate roster if city staff indicates the person was transferred to county custody.
- For sentenced state-prison custody after a case is resolved, use the ADOC inmate search rather than Albertville or Marshall County jail contacts.
Albertville arrest reports and incident reports are available through the city records process, but the city says only the front page is public record without a subpoena. Incident and offense reports require proof of identification and a $15 fee. The city states reports are not taken by email and directs people to call the police number for reporting.
Albertville City Jail Address and Contact
The city jail and police records office use the Albertville Police Department address on South Broad Street. The official sources separate several useful numbers: the main police number, the direct city jail number, the chief's number, the records office number, and municipal court. Use the jail number for custody status, the records office for report access, and municipal court for city misdemeanor, traffic, ordinance, warrant, subpoena, and certified-record questions.

Visiting Someone at Albertville City Jail
The official Albertville Police page states that Albertville City Jail visitation is on Sundays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. No separate online scheduling system, video visitation vendor, dress code, visitor identification list, visitor age rule, or cancellation policy was located in the official city pages reviewed. Because the city did not publish a broader visitation table, do not assume that Marshall County Jail's remote Inmate Sales visitation policy applies here.
| Day | Hours | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | No official city jail visiting hours located | Confirm with city jail |
| Wednesday | No official city jail visiting hours located | Confirm with city jail |
| Friday | No official city jail visiting hours located | Confirm with city jail |
| Saturday | No official city jail visiting hours located | Confirm with city jail |
| Sunday | 2 p.m.-5 p.m. | City jail visitation |
Mail, Phone, and Money at Albertville City Jail
Albertville's official city jail and police pages reviewed for this project did not publish an online money-deposit vendor, commissary vendor, inmate phone provider, mail-processing address, personal-mail rule, book policy, or fee table for Albertville City Jail. That is a service gap, not permission to import county jail rules. The Marshall County Jail uses JailATM and Inmate Sales, but those are documented for the sheriff-operated jail in Guntersville, not for Albertville City Jail.
| Service | Provider / Detail |
|---|---|
| Mail Address | No city jail mail rule located; call Albertville City Jail before mailing anything |
| Phone / Video | No city jail phone or video vendor located in official Albertville sources |
| Money Deposit | No city jail deposit vendor or commissary fee table located |
For bond and payment questions, use the city jail or Albertville Municipal Court depending on where the case sits. The city court page says the court handles city ordinance violations, Albertville Police Department traffic violations, and criminal misdemeanors only. It also states that the municipal court cannot handle juvenile or felony cases.
Booking, Warrants, and Court Follow-Up
Albertville Municipal Court is at 116 Sand Mountain Drive SW, Albertville, AL 35950, and the published court phone is 256-891-8291. The court issues subpoenas, warrants, and certified copies of court records for matters within its jurisdiction. For criminal charges, Albertville instructs a complainant to notify the Police Department and file a report first. If a warrant is issued, the city says it remains active until served. After arrest, the defendant remains in jail until bail is made. If the defendant cannot bond out, the case proceeds while the defendant is incarcerated.
This city court workflow is separate from the county jail roster. A person may have an Albertville municipal case and still need to be located through the city jail phone, the county jail roster, or later court records depending on timing. When the charge is felony-level, juvenile, or outside municipal jurisdiction, the Albertville court page indicates it is not the correct forum.
About Albertville City Jail
Albertville is one of the Marshall County municipalities with official city jail information. Its source record is stronger than a generic police contact because it names the City Jail, gives a direct jail number, publishes Sunday visitation, and lists a Jail Warden in the staff directory. The records channel is also local: the Albertville Police Records Office is in the front lobby at the police department, with weekday hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
For broader inmate-search context, remember that Marshall County has multiple custody systems. Albertville City Jail is municipal. Marshall County Jail in Guntersville is the county detention center. ADOC is for sentenced state prisoners. BOP and ICE are federal systems. Starting with the correct level prevents a common mistake: searching the county roster for someone still in city custody, or calling a city jail about someone already transferred to county or state custody.
Note: Confirm custody and Sunday visitation directly with Albertville City Jail before traveling, sending money, or relying on a report.
