Public Records Requests:

In 2008 Mississippi passed into law an amendment to the Mississippi Public Record Act of 1983. This amendment is generally referred to as “The Sunshine Laws”.  SEC. 25-61-3.
In addition to Accident Reports and Incident Reports, you can request information or answers to your questions through a Public Record Request Form (PRR).  For example, someone can request the number of burglaries in a certain area or the number of times police have been called to a specific address.
