Leflore County, Mississippi, has about 26,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Leflore County depends on where the incident happened: the Leflore 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, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Leflore 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 Leflore County that is the Leflore 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 Greenwood Commercial Transportation Enforcement Division (state agency), with a records office of its own.
Reports from the Leflore County Sheriff's Office
The Leflore County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it reported 833 arrests for 2019.
Its reports come from its records unit.
