What Monroe Booking Records Show

Monroe 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.

MPD and OPSO maintain separate booking systems. MPD city records require direct contact with the department; OPSO parish records are accessible through the mobile app and LAVINE. 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 Monroe or Ouachita Parish is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.
