Yazoo County, Mississippi, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Yazoo County depends on where the incident happened: the Yazoo 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 Yazoo 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 Yazoo County that is the Yazoo 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 Yazoo County Sheriff's Office
The Yazoo County Sheriff's Office is the county agency; it reported 1,152 arrests for 2025.
Its reports come from its records unit. The office's page SearchSystems verified is its jail page, at yazoorcf.com (page title: Welcome to the Yazoo County Sheriff's Office), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on September 24, 2026.
Reports from the City Agencies in Yazoo County
The one city the FBI lists in Yazoo County with a reporting agency of its own, with the police records page SearchSystems verified where the city has a guide:
- Yazoo City: 1,152 arrests reported for 2025. The Yazoo City police department's page is at cityofyazoocity.org/city-government/departments/police-department, phone 662-746-1131 (verified September 26, 2026).
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
