What Bossier City Booking Records Show
Bossier City 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.
Records from BCPD and the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office are maintained separately. BCPD records are obtained through the department's records division; 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.
Note: A booking records an arrest, not a conviction. Everyone held in Bossier City or Bossier Parish facilities is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.
