Blytheville Police Temporary Holding Lookup

Blytheville Temporary Holding Overview

The City of Blytheville police page describes the police department as providing dispatch and police service 24 hours a day. The key detention fact comes from the Blytheville Police Department FAQ: the department operates only a temporary holding facility, and nobody is permanently housed there. If someone was arrested within the last few hours, the FAQ says they may be at the police department being processed. If the person is arrested and held by Blytheville Police Department, the FAQ directs the public to contact the Mississippi County Sheriff's Office because those arrestees are housed at the sheriff's facility.

That means the Blytheville facility is a city-jail or temporary holding page, not a full jail roster page. It has no published public inmate population count, no published rated capacity, and no separate public city jail roster in the research. The practical custody chain is immediate police processing first, then Mississippi County Detention Center for ongoing county jail custody. The sheriff roster, county jail phone numbers, and 48-hour release list become the important follow-up sources after a transfer from Blytheville police custody.

Blytheville Holding Population

No official capacity or population count was located for the Blytheville Police Department temporary holding facility. The best supported fact is qualitative: temporary processing only, with no permanent housing at the police facility. Because the department sends held arrestees to the Mississippi County Sheriff's Office facility, population statistics for ongoing custody should be read through the Mississippi County Detention Center. That county jail had a public roster count of 170 current inmates when inspected on May 28, 2026, while the sheriff detention page gave 2018 high, low, and average jail counts.

Look Up Blytheville Arrestees

The lookup path depends on timing. If the arrest was very recent, call Blytheville Police Department at 870-763-4411 and ask whether the person is still being processed. If the person is being held after processing, use the Mississippi County sheriff's roster chooser and current inmate roster. The county roster is the public source for current Mississippi County Detention Center custody, including people booked by local law-enforcement agencies.

1. Call Blytheville Police Department if the arrest may have happened within the last few hours.
2. Open the sheriff roster chooser and select Current Inmates if the person may now be held at the county jail.
3. Search by name, scan by booking date, or use the A-Z links if the spelling is uncertain.
4. Open the county jail profile and check booking number, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and original court date.
5. If no current record appears, check the 48-hour release list, call the county jail, or use Arkansas DOC search for state custody.

Blytheville Police Contact

The research contains two Blytheville police address references. The Blytheville PD FAQ lists 201 W. Walnut Street, while the City of Blytheville police page lists Police at 1700 S. Division. Both sources list the same non-emergency phone number. Because the addresses may reflect different city facilities, old pages, or a public-facing office change, use the phone number before traveling for detention-related questions.

Blytheville Holding Visits

A temporary police holding facility is not the same as a county jail visitation program. The research did not locate a Blytheville PD public visit schedule for temporary holding. Because the FAQ says nobody is permanently housed at the police facility, standard visits, mail, and commissary should be expected at the county jail after transfer rather than at the police department. For a person held at Mississippi County Detention Center, use the sheriff FAQ visitation schedule.

Note: Do not drive to Blytheville PD for a county jail visit unless police staff confirm the person is still there.

Blytheville Arrest Mail and Money

Mail, commissary, and money deposits are not documented for the Blytheville temporary holding facility in the research. That makes sense for a short processing point. Once a person is held by the county jail, use Mississippi County Detention Center rules. Adult jail letters route through Smart Communications, while money orders and legal mail go to the Luxora jail address. County deposits can be made through TigerDeposits or the Tiger Commissary kiosk in the visitation lobby, according to the sheriff FAQ.

Blytheville Arrest Processing

Blytheville arrest processing begins with the city police department when the arresting agency is Blytheville PD. The temporary holding facility may be used during the first few hours for processing, officer contact, reports, and transfer decisions. Once the person is held beyond that short stage, the Blytheville FAQ says all persons arrested and held by Blytheville Police Department are housed at the Mississippi County Sheriff's Office facility. At that point the county jail booking process becomes the relevant public record process.

The county jail booking process includes intake, fingerprinting, and photographing detainees. If the person appears on the Mississippi County roster, the public profile may show booking number, age, gender, race, city and state address, arresting agency, booking date, charges, bond, and original court date. The arresting agency field can show the police department even though the holding facility is the county jail. That distinction helps explain why a Blytheville arrest may be found on a county sheriff roster.

About Blytheville Police Holding

Blytheville is one of Mississippi County's two county-seat communities and the county's largest city, so its police arrests are a major source of local custody questions. The city police page says service and dispatch are available around the clock. For police records, the research also found a Blytheville Police Department FOIA/public information form PDF. That form is useful for city police records, but it is not a substitute for the sheriff roster when the question is current county jail custody.

Records should follow the agency that created them. A Blytheville police incident report or public information request belongs with Blytheville PD. A county jail booking profile, bond verification, mail, property, or visitation question belongs with Mississippi County Detention Center after transfer. A formal court charge belongs in Search ARCourts or with the appropriate Mississippi County court clerk after filing. A state prison or community correction placement belongs in Arkansas DOC search. These paths overlap after an arrest, but they are not the same record system.
