Jasper County, Mississippi, has about 16,000 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 Jasper County is kept and how it is seen.
This guide covers the court file, the statewide record, local arrest records, the crimes behind the records, sex offender registry, records requests, directory links and common questions.

Criminal Cases in the Jasper County Circuit Court
In Mississippi the public criminal record is the court file. Criminal cases from Jasper County are heard by the Jasper 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 courts.ms.gov (page title: State of Mississippi Judiciary), 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
The statewide criminal history kept by the Mississippi Department of Public Safety Criminal Information Center is closed to the public in Mississippi: it is released to its subject and to authorized employers and licensing agencies, and a member of the public uses the court's own case index instead.
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 Jasper County
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office and the agencies that report for Bay Springs, Heidelberg and Louin keep the arrest records in Jasper County: 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.
Together, the four agencies in Jasper County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 93 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 Jasper County arrest records.
The Crimes Behind the Records: Jasper County in 2025
The three agencies in Jasper County with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 6 violent and 15 property crimes to the FBI that year; the two of them with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 21 crimes in 2025 against 31 in 2024. Each reported crime is a report on file with the agency that took it, and each arrest that follows is the start of a criminal record.

The Sex Offender Registry for Jasper County
Registered sex offenders living in Jasper County 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 Jasper 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.
