LaSalle Parish Criminal History Records

LaSalle Parish criminal history records are maintained by the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office and the Clerk of Court in Jena, Louisiana.

LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office Criminal Records

Sheriff Lane Windham leads the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office. The Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement agency for the parish and handles arrests and bookings throughout LaSalle Parish. When someone is arrested by the Sheriff's Office, a booking record is created with the person's name, date of birth, charges, bond amount, and arresting officer information. These booking records enter the parish system and are submitted to the Louisiana Computerized Criminal History database maintained by the Louisiana State Police under LA R.S. 15:587.

The LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office is located at 1050 Courthouse Street in Jena, the same address as the courthouse. The main phone is (318) 992-2151. Fax is (318) 992-2155. Email contact goes to jparker@lasalleso.com. The website at lasalleso.com provides agency information and several online tools for the public. The site hosts a weekly arrests report and an inmate search tool, which makes it one of the more transparent sheriff websites for a smaller Louisiana parish.

The sheriff's site is one of the better local resources for LaSalle Parish because it provides current booking information and recent arrest data that is not always available in smaller rural parishes.
