Mission Police Department and Arrest Records
The Mission Police Department maintains arrest records and incident reports for all city arrests. Records requests can be submitted for accident reports and offense reports through the department. Public Information Act requests are processed following Texas law, with a 10 business day response requirement. Emergency services are available 24/7 through 911.
When someone is arrested by a Mission officer, the initial arrest report is filed at the city level. The subject is then transported to the Hidalgo County Detention Center for booking. The Mission Police Department retains the original arrest documentation, while the county holds the detention and booking records. For a full record of a Mission arrest, you may need to contact both the city police department and the Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office.
The department works with Hidalgo County for all jail operations. Mission does not operate a standalone county-level detention facility, so all serious arrests result in booking at the county jail in Edinburg. The two agencies coordinate closely on all bookings and inmate processing for the Mission area.
