How to Check for a Warrant in Diamondhead
A warrant check in Diamondhead begins with Municipal Court. That office owns the docket. Sheriff deputies patrol the city under the interlocal deal, but only the court can change a warrant.
- Contact Diamondhead Municipal Court at 228-222-4626 extension 1801.
- Provide the citation number, exact name, date, officer, and appearance date.
- Ask whether the file shows an FTA or warrant and what the judge requires.
- Call Diamondhead Police at 228-222-4649 only for police routing.
- [STEP 5 - check the statewide system, then talk to an attorney about resolving it]

The Diamondhead Police Department and Municipal Court
Municipual Court is where Diamondhead cases live. The clerk there holds the docket and answers status questions. Policing is different. The Hancock County Sheriff staffs Diamondhead under an interlocal arrangement, so a deputy may serve the paper. Even so, no deputy can lift it. Only the issuing court can recall or quash its own warrant, so every question about status starts and ends with the clerk.

What a Diamondhead Warrant Record Shows

Where Diamondhead Warrants Fit With Hancock County
Diamondhead sits inside Hancock County, but its warrants stay separate. A city bench warrant is a municipal case. The Hancock County Sheriff may carry it out under the interlocal deal. County-level warrants run through other offices entirely.
Warrant flow: Diamondhead Municipal Court / Police › Hancock County Sheriff › Mississippi law-enforcement systems with no single public warrant search
Two dockets can matter at once. Diamondhead handles its city cases. Hancock County handles the rest. A person can have a warrant in each system without either office knowing about the other, so check both.
