Mississippi Capitol Police originally patrolled the few blocks surrounding the Capitol building in downtown Jackson, but gained a larger area of jurisdiction in 2017 after the Legislature established the Capitol Complex Improvement District. If the bill becomes law, those arrested under misdemeanor charges starting May 1, 2021, in this area may be sent out of the county until they make bail or go to trial. Map courtesy MSDFA
