Inspection of Records

Inspection of Records 1. Consistent with other demands, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety shall promptly provide space to inspect public records. No member of the public may remove a document from the viewing area or disassemble or alter any document. The requestor shall indicate which documents he or she wishes the Mississippi Department of Public Safety to copy. 2. The requestor must claim or review the assembled records within thirty (30) days of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety’s notification to him or her that the records are available for inspection or copying. The Mississippi Department of Public Safety will notify the requestor in writing of this requirement and inform the requestor that he or she should contact the Mississippi Department of Public Safety to make arrangements to claim or review the records. If the requestor or a representative of the requestor fails to claim or review the records within the thirty (30) day period or make other arrangements, the Mississippi Department of Public Safety may close the request and refile the assembled records. Other public records requests can be processed ahead of a subsequent request by the same person for the same or almost identical records, which can be processed as a new request.
