Florence, a city of 4,141 people according to the last Census, occupies 5.9 square miles in Rankin County. According to the 2010 Census, Florence is the 12th fastest growing city in Mississippi. In 2004, a new street was built in the city, forming a new town square, characteristic of most Mississippi towns and cities. Florence Municipal Court has jurisdiction over all traffic citations and misdemeanor charges filed within the city. This Court also has jurisdiction over city ordinance violations. Additionally, Florence Municipal Court holds Initial Appearances for defendants accused of felonies within city limits.

Since the Florence Police Department has jurisdiction within the city limits, those arrested by the Florence Police, or issued a ticket by a Florence Police Officer, will appear before a judge at Florence Municipal Court. Accordingly, the Rankin County Sheriff's Department and the Mississippi Highway Patrol also maintain operations within Florence.
