Sheriff Leland Falcon runs the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office. This office is responsible for all law enforcement in the parish and operates the parish jail. When someone is arrested in Assumption Parish, the booking record is created here. That booking data eventually flows into the Louisiana Computerized Criminal History (LACCH) system under LA R.S. 15:587. The LACCH holds arrest records, dispositions, and other criminal history data from across all 64 Louisiana parishes, including Assumption.

The office is at 112 Franklin St, Napoleonville, LA 70390. Phone is (985) 369-7281. Fax is (985) 369-0928. The website is assumptionsheriff.com.

Assumption Parish Clerk of Court

The screenshot below is from the Assumption Parish Clerk of Court website, which handles criminal case filings and records for the 23rd Judicial District in Napoleonville.

The Clerk of Court manages the court-side records of all criminal cases in Assumption Parish. After an arrest leads to charges filed in the 23rd Judicial District, the entire case file lives with the clerk. This includes charging documents, motions, pleas, dispositions, and sentences. These records are part of the public record under La. R.S. 44:1 and La. R.S. 44:32, with limited exceptions for sealed or expunged matters.

The clerk's office is at 4809 Hwy 1, Napoleonville, LA 70390. Mail goes to P.O. Box 249, Napoleonville, LA 70390. Phone is (985) 369-6653. The website is assumptionclerk.com.

Searching Criminal History Records in Assumption Parish

The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office offers a public portal that provides some access to records and resources online. You can find it at assumptionsheriff.com/resources/public-portal. This portal may give you some basic lookup capability, though for complete criminal history records you will still need to contact either the sheriff's office or the clerk of court directly.

Assumption Parish is a smaller, rural parish. Because of its size, in-person requests are often the most reliable way to access criminal records. The clerk's office in Napoleonville can search records by name. A date of birth helps narrow results. Have the approximate year of the case ready if you do not have a case number. For older records, call ahead since some may be archived. Staff can typically pull records same-day for recent cases.

Assumption Parish criminal records cover only what was filed or booked locally. If a person has arrests or convictions in other parishes, those records are held by those parishes' clerks and would need to be requested separately. A full statewide criminal history from BCII is the best way to see the full picture across Louisiana, including anything that originated in Assumption Parish.

Assumption Parish Jail and Inmate Information

The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office operates the parish detention facility. Booking information is processed when arrests are made in the parish. This data becomes part of the LACCH system and can be seen through authorized state background check processes under LA R.S. 15:587.

For current inmate information, contact the sheriff's office directly at (985) 369-7281. Staff can tell you whether a specific person is currently in custody. Assumption Parish does not show an active LAVNS roster link the way some larger parishes do. For statewide inmate tracking, use the DOC Offender Locator at doc.la.gov, which covers anyone currently in Louisiana state prison, including those whose records began in Assumption Parish. You can also reach the DOC at (225) 383-4580. LAVNS victim notification is available at lavns.org or by calling 866-528-6748.

Note: Assumption Parish jail holds people awaiting trial or serving short sentences. Longer sentences are served at state facilities tracked by the DOC.
