❓How can I find out if someone has an outstanding warrant in Mississippi?▼
To check if someone has an outstanding warrant in Mississippi, contact the local sheriff or police where the warrant was issued. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety holds the statewide warrant database (CJIS), restricted to law enforcement; individuals must check by phone with the issuing court or agency. Many counties post most-wanted lists publicly (e.g., Hinds County at https://hindscountysheriff.org/, Harrison County at https://www.co.harrison.ms.us/). Court bench warrants appear on the Mississippi Electronic Courts (MEC) at https://courts.ms.gov/. Mississippi Public Records Act (Miss. Code §25-61) governs disclosure.
