Biloxi, Mississippi, in Harrison County, has about 48,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). In Mississippi the public criminal record is the court file, kept by the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records; the statewide criminal history kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center is released only to its subject and to the employers and agencies the law allows. This guide says where each record of a criminal case from Biloxi is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, the prosecutor, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

Criminal Cases in the Harrison County Circuit Court
In Mississippi the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Biloxi are heard by the Harrison County Circuit Court, which hears felonies and the larger civil cases; the Justice Court and County Court take misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims in the Justice Court; the County Court, where the county has one, takes eminent domain, juvenile and mid-sized civil cases, and the file of each case is kept by the Circuit Clerk for criminal and civil cases and the Chancery Clerk for divorces, estates and land records.
The court records page SearchSystems verified for the county is at harrison2.co.harrison.ms.us/dockets/circuitcourt.asp (page title: Harrison County! Online Services and Information), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
Mississippi has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Mississippi Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Mississippi does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court file in the Harrison County Circuit Court is the public record.
To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request to the Criminal Information Center. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at dps.ms.gov/investigation/criminal-information-center/Release-Backgr....
Arrest Records Kept Locally in Biloxi
The Harrison County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Biloxi (filed by the FBI as Biloxi Police Department) keep the arrest records in and around Biloxi: the report and the booking record of each arrest stay with the agency that made it, separate from the court file and from the state repository.
The FBI's agency list also places three state agencies and one campus police department in Harrison County (the arrest records guide names each one); each keeps the records of its own arrests.
Together, the six agencies in Harrison County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 8,490 arrests to the FBI that year; how each case ended is in the court file, not in the arresting agency's.
The agencies and their counts, year by year, are in Biloxi arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Biloxi in 2025
The agency that reports for Biloxi had 168 violent and 1,335 property crimes reported for 2025; each one is a report on file with it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.
The District Attorney for Harrison County
Charges in Harrison County are filed by the District Attorney, which reviews the arrests of every agency in the county and brings the cases in the Harrison County Circuit Court or the Justice Court and County Court.

The Sex Offender Registry for Biloxi
Registered sex offenders living in Biloxi are listed on the Mississippi Sex Offender Registry, run by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety at offenderwatch.com/network/mississippi. The registry is public and can be searched online.
Registration itself is done in person with the local agency where the registrant lives: the sheriff's office, or the city police in a city with its own department.
Asking an Agency in Harrison County for a Record
An arrest report, a booking record or a local criminal history letter comes from the agency that holds it, not from the court.
Under the Mississippi Public Records Act a county office must answer a request within 7 working days, or up to 14 where local rules allow, and it may charge the actual cost of search, review and copying.
