Itawamba County Sheriff's Office

Itawamba County Sheriff's Office, also called the Itawamba County Sheriff's Department, is based in Fulton and handles law enforcement and courthouse administration for Itawamba County, Mississippi. Its law enforcement duties include keeping the peace, requiring offenders to post bond and jailing those who refuse, while the administrative side makes the sheriff the county's jailer and overseer of the courthouse, with bookkeeping and record-keeping duties, including maintaining courthouse reports. A command staff covering patrol, the jail, criminal investigations and office management supports that work, and the county detention center publishes an inmate roster online. The office is open weekdays during business hours for routine requests. County residents can get a local background check free of charge, in person with valid identification, while nonresidents pay $10 in cash; fingerprinting costs $10, and accident or incident reports cost $20 for nonresidents. Applications for jail, dispatch and deputy positions are posted online. A news portal shares arrest reports, Amber Alerts and local events, and deputies also work traffic stops alongside agents of the North Mississippi Narcotics Unit. The county's E911 center also takes non-emergency calls for service.
