What This Resource Provides
Confirmed genuine: official City of Franklin Police Department 'Wanted Persons' page hosts a distinct 'Criminal Papers Search' tool (Southern Software Citizen Connect system) allowing name-based search of active/outstanding criminal papers/warrants - separate from a static Most Wanted list. | CORRECTED: prior URL was a curated Most Wanted / wanted-persons list, not a live name-searchable warrant-status tool. A person's absence from a Most Wanted list does not mean no warrant exists - most outstanding warrants (failure to appear, bench warrants, minor charges) never appear on these lists. Swapped to general Sheriff site; phone/in-person contact is the reliable way to check warrant status.
