Poinsett County, Arkansas, has about 22,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Arkansas Freedom of Information Act requires of it.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Poinsett County
The report of an incident is released by the agency that took it; the court and the jail hold their own records of the same event, but not the report.
In Poinsett County that is the Poinsett County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The FBI's list also carries the State Park at Lake Poinsett State Park (state agency), with a records office of its own.
