Acadia Parish Quick Facts
Acadia Parish Recent Bookings on the LAVINE Roster
The main place to find Acadia Parish recent bookings is the LAVINE roster at acadia.lavns.org/roster.aspx. LAVINE stands for Louisiana Victim Information and Notification Everyday. It is run statewide by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement. The Acadia Parish roster is one of the live feeds tied to the jail's own booking system. When someone gets booked, that record moves into the roster. The page updates frequently, so what you see reflects the current population at the facility.
As of a recent check, the Acadia Parish roster showed 156 people. Each entry lists the person's name in Last, First format, their date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. You can scroll through the full list or use the A-Z letter filter to narrow it down fast. If you are looking for someone specific, the letter filter saves time. The roster also lets visitors register for notifications. Click the icon next to any name to sign up and get an alert if that person's custody status changes. Registration is anonymous and free.
The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office publishes this roster in the interest of public safety. The disclaimer on the page states that the information is not to be used as an official public document and should not be copied without written consent from the agency.

Acadia Parish Jail and Sheriff Information
The Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office runs the jail and handles all booking records for the parish. Sheriff K.P.

The APSO Corrections Facility holds up to 190 people and serves as the central point for all jail operations in the parish.
The sheriff's main office and the jail are both in Crowley, close to each other on Capitol Avenue. If you need to reach the jail directly, call (337) 788-8737. For the main sheriff's office line, call (337) 788-8700. The sheriff's website at apso.org has additional information about the corrections division and other services.

What Acadia Parish Booking Records Show
Each entry on the Acadia Parish jail roster contains a set of standard data fields. The roster shows the person's full name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. These fields are the same across all LAVINE rosters in Louisiana, though some parishes add extra details like bond amounts or charges. Acadia Parish sticks to the core fields listed above.
The arrest date tells you when the booking happened. The roster does not always include the specific charges at this level, but the date and name are enough to start a search. If you need more detail on a case, such as the charges filed or court dates, you may need to contact the clerk of court or the sheriff's office directly. Records under Louisiana public records law, including R.S. 44:1 and R.S. 44:31, are generally open to the public unless a specific exemption applies.
Note: Juvenile records are not public and will not appear on the roster regardless of the booking date.
Additional Ways to Search Acadia Parish Recent Bookings
Beyond the LAVINE roster, you have a few other options for finding information on Acadia Parish arrests and inmates. VINELink is the national version of the VINE system and covers facilities in 48 states including Louisiana. You can search by name at vinelink.com. It pulls data from parish jails and lets you register for the same custody-change notifications available through the local LAVINE portal.
The statewide phone hotline is another option. Call 866-LAVNS-4-U, which is 866-528-6748. The line is free and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can ask about someone's custody status over the phone without needing internet access. This is useful if you need a quick check and cannot get to a computer.
For people serving sentences at a state correctional facility rather than the local parish jail, search the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections offender database at doc.la.gov/offender-search. This covers state inmates, not people held at the Acadia Parish Jail. If you are not sure which facility someone is at, start with the local LAVINE roster and then check the state system if you do not find them.
Under R.S. 15:587, certain law enforcement records connected to arrests are subject to public disclosure. The LAVINE roster is the most direct way to see who has been booked in Acadia Parish on a current basis.
Louisiana Public Records and Acadia Parish Arrests
Louisiana's public records law gives people the right to see government records, including many jail and arrest records. R.S. 44:1 defines public records broadly, and R.S. 44:31 says that any person has the right to inspect, copy, or reproduce public records. Booking records held by the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office fall under these rules. The LAVINE roster is one way the sheriff's office makes this information available without a formal records request.
Not every piece of information in a booking file is public. Some details may be withheld if they relate to an active investigation or if a court order seals part of the record. But the basic facts of an arrest, such as name, date, and charges, are generally open to anyone who asks. If you need a specific report or document that is not on the roster, you can submit a public records request to the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office by contacting the main office at (337) 788-8700 or visiting in person at 1037 Capitol Avenue in Crowley.
It is important to remember that an arrest is not a conviction. All persons listed on the Acadia Parish recent bookings roster are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Being booked into the jail does not mean the person has been found guilty of any crime.

Acadia Parish borders several other south-central Louisiana parishes. If you are searching for someone and are not sure which parish jail they may be in, check the rosters for these nearby areas as well.
