Jasper County, Mississippi, has about 16,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Jasper County depends on where the incident happened: the Jasper County Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated county, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Mississippi Public Records Act requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Jasper County
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Jasper County that is the Jasper 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.
Reports from the Jasper County Sheriff's Office
The Jasper County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it reported 51 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its custody page, at jasperso.com/inmate-roster (page title: Inmate Roster | Jasper SO), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
