The Mississippi Attorney General, through its Public Integrity Division (PID), is resolutely committed to accountability and transparency to all Mississippians. The PID is focused on ensuring trust in public service. It primarily investigates and prosecutes public corruption and white-collar crime, including investigations and review of officer involved shootings, allegations of improper uses of force, abuse of power, and other misconduct of public officials. PID is also responsible for the prosecution of distinct types of criminal cases, including insurance fraud, mail and wire fraud, public assistance fraud, and exploitation of vulnerable adults. The office therefore readily receives information regarding the potential violation of Mississippi law involving public integrity.
To submit information regarding potential violations, please submit the public integrity complaint form here.
If you have questions about cases involving any of these matters, please email them here.
