Hammond Recent Bookings

Hammond recent bookings are searchable through the Tangipahoa Parish LAVINE roster and an alternative jail roster published directly by the facility. Hammond is the largest city in Tangipahoa Parish, and all arrests in the area go through the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office and the parish jail in Amite City. The LAVINE roster updates every 30 minutes and shows current inmates by name. This page explains how to find Hammond arrest records, what the records contain, and what other resources are available for tracking custody status. All persons listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

How to Search Hammond Recent Bookings

Hammond does not have its own city jail for most bookings. People arrested in Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish are held at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite City. You can search current inmates through the Tangipahoa Parish LAVINE roster. This is the standard tool used across most Louisiana parishes. It connects directly to the jail's booking system and shows live data that refreshes every 30 minutes.

Tangipahoa Parish also offers a second option. The Tangipahoa Parish alternative jail roster at tbs-web.com provides a direct feed from the jail database. This is useful if the LAVINE page is slow or if you want to cross-check results. Both sources pull from the same underlying data, so results should match. Either one will show you who is currently in custody.

Note: Hammond Police Department also maintains its own LAVINE roster at Hammond.LAVINE.org for any bookings into the city's holding facility. For most inmate searches, the parish roster is the more complete source.

The screenshot below was taken from the Tangipahoa Parish LAVINE roster, the main public-facing search tool for Hammond and Tangipahoa Parish recent bookings.

The roster uses an A-Z alphabet filter to search by last name and displays name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date for all current inmates.

Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office handles all bookings for Hammond and the surrounding parish. Sheriff Gerald Sticker took office in July 2024. The main Hammond office is at 15475 Club Deluxe Road, Hammond, LA 70403. Phone: (985) 902-2000. The Amite office is at 101 Campo Lane, Amite, LA 70422. Phone: (985) 748-8147. The fax is (985) 902-2001. The sheriff's website is tpso.org.

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office is accredited and places emphasis on professional law enforcement. Sheriff Sticker brought more than 25 years of law enforcement experience to the role, including time as a patrol officer and chief of police. The agency offers a free mobile app that lets residents submit tips, receive alerts, and access inmate information. In emergencies, dial 911.

Tangipahoa Parish Jail

The Tangipahoa Parish Jail is located at 101 Campo Lane in Amite City, Louisiana 70422. The mailing address is P.O. Box 727, Amite, LA 70422. The main jail line is (985) 748-3363. An alternate number is (985) 748-8147. The fax is (985) 748-4661. The facility also operates a work release program: P.O. Box 241, Amite, LA 70422, phone (985) 748-4330.

When someone is arrested in Hammond, they are transported to this facility for booking. The intake process generates the booking record that flows into the LAVINE system. That record becomes publicly visible on the roster typically within 30 minutes of intake completion. If someone does not appear on the roster yet, it may mean intake is still in process. Call the jail directly to confirm custody status in those cases.

What Hammond Booking Records Show

Booking records for Hammond residents appear on the Tangipahoa Parish LAVINE roster with the same fields used across Louisiana jails. The standard view shows full legal name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. Clicking into an individual's record may show more detail, including charges and bond information where the jail has entered it.

The alternative roster at tbs-web.com may display additional fields depending on what the facility exports. Both sources present data for current inmates only. Once a person is released, they are removed from the active roster. The record reflects who is in custody right now, not who was booked in the past week or month.

Booking records do not tell you what happened after intake. Charges at booking can be changed or dropped as the case moves forward. Someone listed on the roster has been arrested. That is not the same as being convicted. All persons listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Louisiana Public Records Law

Hammond booking records are public under Louisiana law. R.S. 44:1 defines public records to include all documents made or received by a public body in the course of its official duties. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office is a public body. Its booking records fall within that definition.

R.S. 44:31 gives every person of majority age the right to inspect and copy those records. No special status or explanation is needed. The right to access is broad and the sheriff's office cannot deny it based solely on who is asking.

R.S. 15:587 covers arrest and booking records specifically. It confirms that this information is public and must be provided. The LAVINE rosters exist because of these statutory obligations. Juvenile records are the main exception. They are sealed and never published on any public roster. Copy fees under R.S. 44:32 are typically between $0.25 and $1.00 per page for printed records.

LA VINE Notifications and VINELink

The LA VINE system run by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement lets anyone register to receive alerts when a specific inmate's custody status changes. If someone you are tracking is released from the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, you get notified automatically by phone, text, or email. Registration is free and available around the clock through the LAVINE roster page or by calling the hotline at 866-528-6748.

You can also use VINELink, the national victim notification platform. VINELink pulls from the same data feed as LA VINE in Louisiana and covers 48 states and more than 2,900 facilities. It is a useful backup if you need to track someone who may have been transferred out of Tangipahoa Parish into a state facility. Notifications are free through VINELink as well.

State Inmates vs. Hammond Jail Records

The Tangipahoa Parish Jail holds people who have been arrested and are waiting for trial or serving short local sentences. It is not a state prison. People convicted of serious felonies and sentenced to long terms are transferred to Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections facilities.

If you are looking for someone and they do not appear on the Tangipahoa Parish roster, they may have been transferred to a state prison. Search the DPS&C offender search for state inmates. That database is separate from the parish LAVINE system. The DPS&C imprisoned person locator is also available by phone at 225-383-4580, 24 hours a day. Have the person's name and date of birth ready when you call.
