1. Any person wishing to inspect or copy public records of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety should make the request in writing on the Mississippi Department of Public Safety's request form, or by letter, fax, or email addressed to the Legal Division, including in any such request the following information:
a. Name of requestor;

d. Identification of the public records sufficient for the Legal Division or public records designee to locate the records; and
e. The date and time of day of the request.

Pursuant to Section 4.7 of this policy, standard photocopies will be provided at $0.15 cents per page, with a minimum charge of $5.00 per request. Additional fees incident to document production may include personnel charges for time expended in the actual searching, reviewing and/or duplicating of documents and, if applicable, the mailing of copies of requested records.
3. A form is available for use by requestors at the office of the Legal Division.
4. The Legal Division or designee may accept requests for public records that contain the above information by telephone or in person. If the Legal Division or Public Records Designee accepts such a request, he or she will confirm receipt of the information and the substance of the request in writing.
