Louisiana Recent Arrests is a private reference site, not a government office. We cannot confirm custody or release, supply or remove booking photos, post bond, or retrieve official records. Contact the agency that holds the record for an authoritative answer.
Choose the Louisiana Office That Holds the Record
Arrests are handled by parish and state agencies, so the right contact depends on the arresting agency and the kind of record sought. Louisiana Recent Arrests does not publish a government-wide phone line or accept official-record requests; the routes below lead to the relevant public custodian or locator.
- A parish arrest or jail booking: Use the Parish Directory to identify the parish site and its sheriff or booking source. Each parish has its own roster and records contact; one sheriff cannot answer for all parishes.
- A booking record or photograph: Ask the sheriff, police department, or other agency that created or keeps that record. The Louisiana recent-arrests home page explains what a booking entry contains and how a public-records request differs from a live roster.
- A Louisiana State Police record: See LSP Arrests, then use the LSP Public Records Request page or its GovQA request portal. LSP does not publish a single arrest-report fee or guaranteed response time.
- State prison custody or supervision: Use the DPS&C inmate-information page for its locator, which is updated every 24 hours and searches by location, name, or ID/case number. The department also lists 225-383-4580 for a DPS&C number or a person's name and date of birth; this corrections locator is separate from parish booking feeds.
- Older state records: For historical state material, contact the Louisiana State Archives Research Library at 225-922-1208 or 3851 Essen Lane, Baton Rouge. It is a historical research route, not the custodian for modern parish bookings.
- Federal or immigration custody: Search the separate Federal Bureau of Prisons locator for federal prison custody; BOP does not provide public photos. For immigration detention, use the distinct ICE Online Detainee Locator.
- Same-day or multi-day arrest news: The statewide same-day arrest landscape and Police Blotter describe where to check feeds and reports. A published news item is not a complete jail roster or a court disposition.
