Which Agency Holds a Report from Biloxi
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.
Inside Biloxi that is the agency that reports to the FBI for the city (filed by the FBI as Biloxi Police Department); outside it, the Harrison County Sheriff's Office.
The FBI's agency list also places three state agencies and one campus police department in Harrison County, each with a records office of its own.
