As mandated by federal legislation, the Mississippi Sex
Offenders Registration Law was enacted requiring the
Mississippi Department of Public Safety (MDPS) to maintain a
registry of persons residing in this state who have been
convicted of certain sexual offenses or attempted offenses.
MDPS updates this information regularly, to try to assure
that it is complete and accurate. However, this information
can change quickly. You are cautioned that information
provided on this site may not reflect the current residence,
status, or other information regarding an offender. The
information in this registry is provided to MDPS by criminal
justice agencies and representatives. MDPS compiles and
provides this information but does not independently confirm
the accuracy of all information. Positive identification of
a person believed to be a sex offender cannot be established
unless a fingerprint comparison is made.
This information is made available for the purpose of
protecting the public. Anyone who uses this information to
commit a criminal act against another person is subject to
criminal prosecution. The sale or exchange of sex offender
information for profit is prohibited. Misuse of this
information is a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine
of not more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) or
imprisonment in the county jail not more than six (6)
months, or both.
To correct erroneous information in the Mississippi Sex
Offender Registry or to report a change in sex offender
information, including a change of address, contact the MDPS
via e-mail, mail or telephone at the below listed number and
