Clicking on a specific name will provide detailed booking information. This typically includes: * The individual's full legal name and mugshot * Booking number and booking date * Housed location within the facility * Specific charges or offenses * Bond amounts and bond types (if applicable) Keep in mind that online rosters generally display individuals who are currently housed in the facility. If an individual has already been released on bail, released on their own recognizance, or transferred to another institution, their name may no longer appear on the active roster. ## Contacting the Harrison County Adult Detention Center If you cannot find the information you need online, or if you suspect the database has not yet been updated, you can contact the Harrison County Adult Detention Center directly. The facility is located in Gulfport, Mississippi.
When calling the detention center, you should provide the administrative staff with the individual's full legal name and date of birth to ensure an accurate search. Staff members can confirm whether the person is currently in custody, state their charges, and provide the current bond amount. Please note that jail staff cannot provide legal advice, court dates, or details regarding active police investigations. ## Checking Municipal Police Records in Harrison County Harrison County contains several incorporated cities, including Gulfport, Biloxi, D'Iberville, Long Beach, and Pass Christian. Each of these cities operates its own municipal police department. If an individual was arrested by a city police officer rather than a county sheriff's deputy, they may temporarily be held at a municipal holding facility for processing before being transferred to the county jail. If you cannot find a recently arrested person on the county jail roster, it is advisable to contact the arresting municipality's police department directly. Many municipal departments maintain local arrest logs or police blotters that can help you track an arrest in its early stages.
## Searching for Transferred or State Prisoners If the person you are searching for has already been convicted and sentenced to serve time in a state correctional facility, they will likely have been transferred out of the Harrison County Adult Detention Center. To locate individuals in state custody, you should use the Mississippi Department of Corrections (MDOC) offender search tool. The MDOC database allows the public to search for state prisoners, parolees, and probationers by their name or their assigned state ID number. This registry will display the current state facility where the individual is housed. ## Using Third-Party Public Records Databases
Another alternative for locating arrest records in Harrison County is utilizing third-party public records search engines. These platforms aggregate public data from various law enforcement agencies, court systems, and municipal records. While these search engines can be convenient—especially if you suspect the individual was arrested outside of Harrison County—it is important to verify any information obtained through them. Third-party sites may not update their databases in real time, meaning the information could be outdated or incomplete compared to the official Harrison County Sheriff's Office records.
