Public Records Request

Requesting Public Records from the Sheriff's Office

Under the Louisiana Public Records Law (LRS 44:1 et al), the public has the right to request certain public records from the Sheriff's Office. While most records are available, there are certain restrictions and exemptions that might preclude an immediate (or any) release of information (e.g., records related to an ongoing criminal investigation, juvenile records, etc.).

If you need a copy of a crash report or an incident report, or need to request a criminal history record, please fill out a request form HERE, contact our Criminal Records Office at 985-345-6150 or email your request to criminalrecords@tpso.org.

To make a Public Records Request relative to the operations of the Sheriff's Office, you should email pio@tpso.org.
