How to Check for a Warrant in Centreville
Centreville Police answers at 601-645-5917. The town and court clerk can be reached at 601-645-5218. Give either office the citation or case number and ask whether the file is municipal, since Justice Court or Circuit Court cases call for the county fallback instead.
- Identify the issuing court on the paperwork.
- Confirm the current municipal counter and service hours.
- Ask for the latest warrant or court-order entry.
- Request the judge’s next required step.
- Confirm the docket again after action is taken.
Centreville’s Conflicting Court Addresses
One Centreville police page says the department moved to Town Hall at 1 Municipal Drive effective February 28, 2020, with municipal court using the Board Room from March onward. A separate court page still lists the Police Department at 216 East Joseph Street. Call ahead before you drive out.
Call 601-645-5917 or 601-645-5218 before travel; do not choose between the two official addresses without confirmation.
The Centreville Police Department and Municipal Court
Police coverage in Centreville runs 24 hours. Court services keep weekday hours, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. An open police building does not mean a clerk or judge is on hand, so time your visit to the court window. The official police page carries the relocation notice and the contact route for both.
Confirm the current arrangement when calling.
Centreville Warrants Begin With Judicial Review
In Centreville, a person may file charges by affidavit, and a judge then reviews the report and the affidavit for probable cause. No warrant is valid without the judge's signature. Once signed, it goes into an active file. The official town material names Judge Emily Boone and prosecutor John Redhead.

Centreville PayStar Requires an Account Number
PayStar takes card payments online at any hour. Its interface has no visible person-name warrant search, so you need an account number. Centreville also accepts mail, in-person payment, and a 24-hour Police Department dropbox, though dropbox payments are processed later.
A payment transaction and a court’s warrant-status update can occur at different times.

Centreville Written Record Requests
Centreville requires any public-information request to be in writing. Pick up a form at Town Hall and deliver or mail it, or send your own written request by email, fax, or letter to a town employee. The request page posts no warrant-specific fields, fee schedule, or promised timing. Keep the ask narrow. Request one identified Centreville record and leave out sensitive details the request does not need.

Public Access to Centreville Warrant Records
The Mississippi Public Records Act backs requests to public bodies. Exemptions, fees, and proper custodians still apply, and court access follows judicial rules on top of that. Juvenile records stay confidential, and Centreville's request page does not promise release of every warrant detail.
Request the issuing court, case number, process type, present status, and next official instruction.
