Like in most other MS areas, an arrest warrant search in Grenada County can be accomplished either through the police or the judiciary. If you choose to go with local law enforcement, you will have to drive down to the sheriff’s office or the closest police precinct. However, if you choose the judiciary as your preferred source of criminal history information, you will have two choices:

The magistrate’s office: The role of the sitting judge in issuing arrest warrants will be hard to miss because no order for detention can be put into effect unless it bears the seal of the magistrate. The judge will sign an active warrant when he sees clear probable cause to hold the suspect responsible for the criminal act in question.

The county clerk’s office: The clerk of court plays a more indirect role in the issue of arrest warrants from Grenada County. A deputy from this department is sent to the court session to record case facts. These are then stored in the court dockets database.

So, as soon as an active warrant is issued, these two agencies store information on the order in their respective databases. Of course, no article on the search of outstanding warrants and arrest records from Grenada would be complete without offering credit to the sheriff’s office. To receive a response to your criminal history and arrests inquiry, you will need to visit the agencies given below personally:

  • Law enforcement agency: 35 Doak, Grenada, Mississippi 38901
  • The county magistrate: 59 Green Street, Grenada, MS 38902-1208
  • The clerk of court: 59 Green Street, Grenada, Mississippi 38901
