Shreveport Booking Reports Online
SPD publishes daily booking reports online through the City of Shreveport website. These reports show who was arrested, the charges, and booking dates. The booking reports archive is one of the most transparent public booking release systems in Louisiana, providing a running record of arrests rather than just current custody data.
The Shreveport city alerts archive hosts the daily booking reports published by SPD, giving public access to a running record of Shreveport arrest and booking release data.
For live custody data, the LAVINE roster at caddo.lavns.org covers the Caddo Correctional Center and reflects current custody status for individuals held by the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office. The Caddo Parish Sheriff handles longer-term detention and transfers from the SPD city jail. The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement maintains this system as part of the statewide LAVINE network covering all 64 parishes.

What Shreveport Booking Records Show
Shreveport 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 of a booking record includes the person's name and identifying information, the charges filed, the booking date and time, and the location of the alleged offense.
SPD's daily booking reports make Shreveport booking release information more accessible than many Louisiana cities. Each report lists the name, charges, and booking date for everyone arrested that day. Records tied to active investigations or pending criminal litigation are not public under R.S. 44:3. If booking information is unavailable online, contact SPD to submit a public records request.
Note: A booking records an arrest, not a conviction. Everyone booked in Shreveport is presumed innocent unless a court determines otherwise.
