Lafourche Parish Arrest Records

Yes. Louisiana's Public Records Law guarantees the right of Lafourche Parish residents and non-residents to inspect and copy government records, including arrest information, unless a specific exemption applies. Consequently, La. R.S. § 44:3 allows custodian agencies to withhold certain records that may endanger someone or jeopardize an investigation. These restrictions affect active investigations, juveniles, sealed or expunged matters, victims, witnesses, confidential informants, or protected personal information.

Under Louisiana law (Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228), the public-facing components of a Lafourche Parish arrest record may include:

• The inmate's full name
• Physical descriptors, such as gender, race, weight, height, hair color, and eye color
• Date of birth
• Inmate ID
• Address (e.g., city, state, ZIP code)
