What Alexandria Booking Records Show
Alexandria booking records are public under Louisiana Revised Statute 44:3(4)(a), which makes the booking of a person under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure Article 228 a public document. The public portion includes the person's name and identifying information, the charges filed, the booking date and time, and the location of the alleged offense.
APD and RPSO maintain separate booking systems. APD city records are available through the records division at (318) 441-6412 or apd-records@cityofalex.com. RPSO parish jail records appear on the LAVINE system. Records tied to active investigations or pending criminal litigation are not public under R.S. 44:3 and can be withheld while cases remain open.
Note: A booking records an arrest, not a conviction. Everyone booked in Alexandria or held at the Rapides Parish Detention Center is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.
