Poplarville Holding Overview
The official Poplarville Police page lists the police department at 201 West Cumberland Street and gives police, fax, emergency, and dispatch contact numbers. It names Chad Dorn as Police Chief and Jeremy Blair as Police Captain. The page also gives an important routing instruction: users seeking information on a defendant should contact the Municipal Court Clerk. That instruction matters because a police holding location, a jail custody record, and a municipal court case are not the same record.
The research found no official Poplarville city jail roster, booking photo list, public inmate search, bed count, jail population count, or holding-facility visit schedule. The Facility Map therefore treats Poplarville as a municipal arrest or short-term holding point. County custody and longer detention route to the Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center, which is the Pearl River County jail. If a person was arrested by Poplarville Police and remains in jail custody after transfer, the county roster is the relevant custody lookup.
Poplarville Holding Capacity
Poplarville does not publish an official holding capacity in the source material. No city daily population table, booking dashboard, or cell count was located. The absence of a published number should be kept clear rather than filled with a guess. Population and capacity statistics found in the research apply to Pearl River County's jail system, not to a separate Poplarville roster or city jail population.
For context after transfer, Vera county data lists Pearl River County jail-rated capacity at 360 for 2017 through 2019 and a 2019 total jail population of 206. Those figures belong to county jail custody at the Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center. They may include people arrested by Poplarville Police after transfer, but they do not establish the size of Poplarville's police holding area.
Capacity note: No official Poplarville holding bed count or city inmate population figure was found.
Poplarville Custody Lookup
For a Poplarville arrest, the search path depends on the question being asked. Custody status after county booking belongs with the Pearl River County jail roster and inmate records. Defendant information, court dates, and municipal case questions belong with the Municipal Court Clerk, based on Poplarville's own police page. State prison custody after sentencing belongs with MDOC. Federal and immigration custody follow BOP, ICE, federal court, or agency contact paths.
- Call Poplarville Police or dispatch if the arrest is recent and transfer status is unknown.
- Check the Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center roster after county jail booking.
- Call Pearl River County inmate records at 601-403-2511 if the roster fails or the person is not listed.
- Contact the Municipal Court Clerk for defendant information tied to a Poplarville municipal case.
- Use MDOC, BOP, ICE ODLS, or VINELink when the custody path has left local county jail status.
This routing avoids a common mistake. A police station page may confirm an agency and contact number, but it does not prove that the agency runs a public jail roster. If the person is still in police processing, a county roster result may lag. If the person has been moved to Lenoir Rowell, use the Pearl River County jail inmate records lookup path instead of the Poplarville police page. If the person has a court date but is no longer in custody, the court path is more useful than the jail roster.
Poplarville Police Contact
Poplarville Police gives several direct contact channels. Use the police number for routine agency questions, dispatch for non-emergency routing, and 911 for emergencies. Use the Municipal Court Clerk for defendant information when the issue is a municipal case rather than custody. For county jail custody, use Pearl River County jail records after transfer.

Poplarville Holding Visits
No Poplarville police holding visitation schedule was found. That is consistent with a short-term municipal holding or processing role rather than a long-term city jail. For a person still in police processing, call before traveling and ask whether any public contact is allowed. For a person moved to the county jail, use Lenoir Rowell visitation rules and confirm the current category schedule with Pearl River County inmate records or jail administration.
When custody moves out of local police hands, the visit rules move too. MDOC prison visitation requires the inmate to initiate the visitor application process and follows state prison procedures. Federal and ICE custody are separate systems and do not use Poplarville Police visitation rules. County jail visits should not be planned from a city police page alone.
| Status | Visitation Rule | Verification Point |
|---|---|---|
| Short-term police processing | No public schedule located. | Poplarville Police, 601-795-4447 |
| County jail custody | Lenoir Rowell category rules apply after transfer. | Pearl River County inmate records, 601-403-2511 |
| Municipal defendant information | Not a jail visit issue. | Municipal Court Clerk |
| MDOC prison custody | State visitor application process applies. | MDOC family and friends resources |
Poplarville Mail and Money
The Poplarville Police page does not publish inmate mail rules, commissary instructions, deposit vendors, phone providers, remote video details, or a fee table for a holding facility. Do not mail inmate funds, letters, books, or packages to the police department unless the agency gives direct instructions for a specific person. Municipal police processing is usually too short for ordinary jail mail or commissary routines.
After a transfer to the county jail, use Lenoir Rowell's jail contacts. The county jail page names Emily Morgan for commissary and inmate accounts at 601-403-2524 and Rainie Rivet for inmate records at 601-403-2511. The county research did not locate a posted county deposit vendor or fee schedule, so money questions should be confirmed by phone. MDOC money rules are separate and apply only after state prison transfer.
| Service | Poplarville Source Result | Use Instead When Transferred |
|---|---|---|
| Inmate mail | No police holding mail rules located. | Lenoir Rowell mail procedures after county booking |
| Commissary | No city vendor located. | Pearl River County commissary/accounts, 601-403-2524 |
| Phone or video | No police holding provider located. | Confirm with county jail after transfer |
| State prison money | Not a city police process. | MDOC Premier Services or Western Union after MDOC custody |
Poplarville Arrest Processing
A Poplarville arrest may begin with local police handling, then move to a municipal court or county jail path depending on the charge, warrant, bond status, and custody decision. Early processing may include identification, report preparation, warrant checks, property handling, and coordination with dispatch, court, or jail staff. If the person is booked into the county jail, the county roster may list Poplarville PD as the arresting or holding agency, along with county booking fields.
Those booking fields are not the same thing as a court disposition. A county roster charge is a custody or holding basis. A court case may later show a complaint, information, indictment, amendment, dismissal, or final disposition. For a Poplarville municipal defendant, the Municipal Court Clerk is the source named by the police page. For felony prosecution or county-level cases, court clerk and Mississippi Electronic Courts channels may be needed.
About Poplarville Police
Poplarville is the county seat of Pearl River County, and its police department sits in the same city as many county offices, but the city police station is not the county jail. The Lenoir Rowell Criminal Justice Center is located outside downtown Poplarville on Savannah Millard Road in the Millard area. That physical difference matters for families who are trying to decide where to call or travel after an arrest.
The clean access chain is police first for a fresh Poplarville arrest, Municipal Court Clerk for defendant information on municipal cases, Lenoir Rowell for county jail custody after transfer, MDOC for sentenced state prison custody, BOP for sentenced federal prisoners, and ICE ODLS for immigration detainees. VINELink can help with custody notifications when the person is in a participating system. Poplarville's official police source did not verify a mobile app, city jail roster, booking photo gallery, or separate inmate search.
Note: Confirm transfer status before traveling, because Poplarville police processing and county jail custody use different contacts.
