How to Find, Access and Understand Information in Mississippi Arrest Records

Mississippi arrest records can be of immense help when you are looking forward to conducting a background check on an individual. The arrest records in the state are maintained by the Criminal Information Center of the Office of Administrative Operations division of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety http://www.dps.state.ms.us/dps/dps.nsf/main?OpenForm

The Criminal Information Center, or CIC, is in charge of making information related to crime and criminals accessible to the public.  The Center is comprised of several units, namely the Applicant Fingerprint Processing Section, Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) Section, Document Review and Entry Section, Special Processing Section and Sex offender Registry Section.  Mississippi arrest information can be very useful for the public--especially employers who need to do a quick check before recruiting a complete stranger.
 

How to Obtain Mississippi Arrest Information

There are several ways in which you can obtain Mississippi arrest records. You can get in touch with the AFIS section by mailing your application to afis@mdps.state.ms.us or calling 1-800-594-3997 during business hours. You can even send them a fax at 601-933-2661. The information that you want to collect would then be sent to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, or MHP, district substation where your local agency can collect the same.
