Harrison County Arrest Records
There are local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in Harrison County responsible for making arrests. Arresting agencies typically maintain arrest records created after booking arrestees. Under the Mississippi Public Records Act, these records are public and may be inspected or copied by any interested individual. The Sheriff's Office has general jurisdiction over the county.
To complete a search of Harrison County arrest records, which is the process of retrieving a local arrest record, an inquirer would need to provide a name or a date of birth of the arrestee. The information in an arrest record includes the arrested person's identifying details, the reason for the arrest, and the circumstances of the arrest.
While Harrison County arrest records may not be readily available online through the Sheriff's Office, inquirers may visit the arresting agency, submit a written request to the agency, or visit the private contractor's website approved by the Sheriff's Office.
