What Concordia Parish Booking Records Show
Booking records in Concordia Parish 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.
Through the LAVINE system or a direct inquiry to the Concordia Parish Sheriff's Office, you can access current custody status, basic booking data, and bond information where applicable. Records tied to active criminal investigations and pending litigation are not public under R.S. 44:3, and law enforcement can withhold those portions until cases are resolved.
Note: A booking records an arrest, not a conviction. Everyone booked at the Concordia Parish Jail is presumed innocent unless a court finds otherwise.
