Jackson County, Mississippi Warrant Search

Jackson County requesters may obtain certain warrant-related information under the Mississippi Public Records Act, Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-1 et seq. This law grants the public the right to inspect and copy public records, including warrant records, unless a statute or exemption applies. For law-enforcement records, Mississippi law makes incident reports public but exempts investigative reports while they are in the possession of a law-enforcement agency; however, the agency may release all or part of an investigative report at its discretion.

For warrant searches, this means a person may be able to obtain some court or law-enforcement records connected with a warrant, but an agency may restrict records tied to ongoing investigations, confidential sources, victim information, sealed matters, or law-enforcement databases.
