Mississippi offers a workable site with the most basic of features. Like other states in this area of the ranking, the Mississippi Sex Offender Registry leaves out school and work addresses, does not provide any type of risk assessment indicators, and offers only a search of profiles—no interactive map. Mississippi residents would have a more useful community resource if additions were made to this site.
The sex offender profiles have names with aliases and a general physical description that includes race, sex, height, weight and hair and eye color. Tattoos and scars are not included in the description. Only the home address is given—no work or school.Crime information is boxed at the bottom of the profile. It is brief. No details or victim information, no risk assessment or indication of a violent offender.
The Mississippi registry has an uncomplicated search box. You can search by first and last name, city, county, zip code and state. You can also choose to include alias names in the search results. You may also search for non-compliant offenders by their last known county of residence.
The Mississippi registry website lacks common additional features like safety tips, prevention and education resource links, and an interactive map. You will find a link to legal code covering registration of sex offenders and a brief FAQs page.
Mississippi offers clear search directions and convenient dropdown menus for county and state fields.
You may contact the Department of Public Safety by email and phone.
Mississippi provides public access to information on registered sex offenders in the state. The site is easy to use. However, without risk assessment identifiers and an interactive map, Mississippi residents receive less from their site than those in neighboring states receive from their own sex offender registries.
