Arrest Records in Plaquemines Parish

The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office, or PPSO, provides police protection throughout the parish. Plaquemines has no incorporated cities and therefore no city police records offices or municipal booking systems. Deputies work from districts in Belle Chasse, Port Sulphur, and Braithwaite. Louisiana State Police and specialized federal agencies can also make arrests here, but their reports remain with the agency that created them. PPSO may still hold the corresponding parish booking record when a person enters its detention system.

An arrest produces several distinct records. A deputy writes an arrest or incident report. Detention staff create the booking entry, take fingerprints and a booking photograph, list the initial charge, and record bond or release events. If the District Attorney accepts a charge, the Clerk opens a Twenty-Fifth Judicial District Court file. Fingerprints also create or match a Louisiana criminal-history identity record. None of these sources alone tells the full story, and a booking does not show guilt.

Four Plaquemines Arrest Records

One Plaquemines Parish arrest can leave four useful trails. The arresting agency report describes the event and suspected offense. The Davant booking entry shows intake and custody. The Clerk’s case file records what prosecutors actually filed and how the court resolved it. Finally, Louisiana State Police BCII connects fingerprint-supported events across parishes. Dates and charge wording can differ because each record captures a different stage.

The official PPSO Criminal Records page explains which local files the office maintains and how it releases them.

This source is the direct route for arrest reports, incident reports, warrants, citations, crash files, local rap sheets, and fingerprint services.

Plaquemines Parish Arrest Lookups

Choose the channel that matches the question. A roster entry is best for a current or recent custody lead. The booking desk can confirm live custody when an online result is missing or stale. Criminal Records supplies the local report, while the Clerk and BCII show later court and statewide history.

1. Search the official Plaquemines LAVNS roster by exact first and last name. Use a booking identifier when known, and note the roster’s update time.
2. Call PPSO Intake/Booking at 504-934-7637 or 504-934-7635 when the arrest is very recent, the roster has no arrest date, or present custody needs confirmation.
3. Request the arrest report from PPSO Criminal Records through the Freshdesk form, by mail, or at the counter. Include the date, place, report number, name, and desired format.
4. Match the arrest to the Plaquemines Parish court case file after prosecutorial screening. The Clerk’s record establishes filed charges and the disposition.
5. For your own statewide fingerprint-linked record, use Louisiana State Police BCII Right to Review. An unrestricted anonymous statewide name search is not available.

The official PPSO records-request form collects an email address, subject, description, and optional attachment.

A clear description helps PPSO locate the correct arrest cycle and send an invoice or electronic delivery link through the ticket.

Davant Arrest Intake and Booking

The PPSO Detention Center is at 16801 Highway 15 in Davant. Opened in 2015, the 800-bed facility stands more than 18 feet above ground inside the hurricane-protection levee. That design reflects Plaquemines Parish’s flood and storm risk. Intake staff assign a PPSO or booking identifier, verify identity, take fingerprints and a photograph, inventory property, enter initial charges, screen the person, assign housing, and track bond and release.

The PPSO Corrections page publishes facility contacts and current access notices.

The page currently states that outside visitors are not allowed inside, so anyone planning contact should verify the rule by calling the main line at 504-934-7600.

Arrest Records: What They Contain

A Plaquemines Parish arrest record identifies the booking event, not the final court outcome. Searchers should compare the arrest date, booking number, agency, and charge description across sources. Bond and release fields can change after a hearing. A mugshot is a paid record category under the PPSO schedule, but a photograph carries no added proof about whether an allegation was true.

Request a Plaquemines Arrest Report

PPSO Criminal Records accepts requests in person, by mail, and through Freshdesk. An arrest report costs $25 under the March 2026 schedule. Electronic delivery is free. A mailed or pickup USB costs $35, plus actual postage when mailed. Expedited handling has a $50 baseline. Related items have separate fees, including $25 for an arrest warrant, $10 for a written statement, and per-file charges for photographs, audio, and video.

Give the event date and location, report or case number if known, requested record type, preferred format, and contact information. Active-investigation details, juvenile material, protected victim information, personal identifiers, and security-sensitive facts may be withheld or redacted under the Louisiana Public Records Law. Ask for any reasonably separable public portion when the full file cannot be released.

Recent Plaquemines Parish Bookings

The official Plaquemines LAVNS roster provides Show All and A-to-Z views, an offender count, an update timestamp, and columns for name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. It also links to custody notifications. Use the roster as a lead, not a permanent arrest-history index. Entries or dates may lag, and a record may remain after custody changes. Call Booking when an arrest is new or a date is absent.

PPSO press releases report selected arrests, investigations, and public-safety operations. They are not a complete blotter. The official release archive is organized by dated announcements.

The archive can add context to a named operation, but silence there does not mean no arrest occurred.

Roster absence has several possible causes. The person may not yet have reached intake, a name may be entered under a different spelling, the live service may be unavailable, or the person may have been released or transferred. Search with the current legal spelling first, then use another identifier if one is known. The roster’s arrest date is a useful match point, but the report number and booking identifier are stronger links to the local file. Never treat a blank search result as proof that no Plaquemines Parish arrest happened.

Most Wanted Is Not Booking

A wanted notice and a booking record answer different questions. The PPSO Most Wanted interface identifies selected people sought by the agency. It does not show every warrant, every arrest, or present jail custody. Resolve your own possible warrant directly with PPSO or counsel rather than treating a public list as complete. An arrest warrant copy is available from Criminal Records for the posted $25 fee when disclosure rules permit.

The official PPSO Most Wanted interface should be read as an agency notice, not as the parish inmate roster.

The search and list format can help identify an active agency notice without proving that a booking has taken place.

Correct a Plaquemines Arrest Outcome

A state rap sheet may show an arrest without its final disposition when reporting is delayed or identifiers fail to match. Start with the 25th JDC Clerk and District Attorney to confirm the result. BCII requires an original, unaltered certified disposition whose identity data, arrest date, original and amended charges, verdict, result, and sentence match the arrest cycle. A calendar entry or roster disappearance is not a substitute.

Dismissal does not automatically erase every agency copy. Louisiana expungement removes qualifying arrest and prosecution records from ordinary public access but does not destroy them. The motion is ordinarily filed with the 25th JDC Clerk, and the signed order must reach each named agency. Check your later BCII Right to Review and the Clerk’s public view to confirm the update.

The original booking charge matters during correction and expungement work. A later amended charge cannot simply replace it on the paperwork. Record the arrest date, every booked count, the state identification and tracking numbers when known, and the certified outcome for each count. Mismatched dates, omitted charges, missing certifications, and incomplete identifiers are common reasons a request stalls. If an old private copy still shows obsolete data, send that provider the certified order or disposition and identify the exact entry in dispute.

Arrest Records vs Conviction Records

PPSO and the arresting agency create the arrest trail. The 25th JDC Clerk holds the prosecution and disposition. A booking charge can be refused, amended, dismissed, or end in acquittal. Only the court file and a certified disposition establish what prosecutors filed and how the case ended.

Note: An arrest is not proof of guilt, and many bookings never produce a conviction.

After transfer to state custody, use the Louisiana DPSC Imprisoned Person Locator or LA VINE rather than the parish roster. For 911 audio, contact Plaquemines Parish Government because PPSO is not that record’s custodian.

The same routing principle applies to reports made by another agency. A Louisiana State Police arrest can produce a PPSO booking, yet the trooper’s narrative stays with State Police. Court records go to the Clerk after filing, and the statewide fingerprint history sits with BCII. Ask each custodian for the record it created. This avoids delays and makes it easier to compare the first allegation, custody events, filed charge, and final result without mistaking one layer for another.
