Assumption Parish Quick Facts
Assumption Parish Recent Bookings on the LAVINE Roster
The Assumption Parish LAVINE roster at assumption.lavns.org/roster.aspx shows who is currently in custody at the Assumption Parish Detention Center. LAVINE is the Louisiana Victim Information and Notification Everyday system, maintained by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement. It feeds directly from the jail's booking database and updates as people are booked and released.
The roster displays each person's full name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. You can filter the list using the A-Z alphabet selector or view the entire roster at once. A free notification feature lets you register anonymously to get an alert any time a specific person's custody status changes. You don't need to give any personal information to register.
The screenshot below is from the Assumption Parish LAVINE roster at assumption.lavns.org. It shows the current format and the data fields visible for each booking entry.
The roster reflects only people currently in custody. Past bookings are not stored here long-term. Use the arrest reports section of the sheriff's website for more historical records.
Assumption Parish Arrest Reports and Sheriff Records
The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office publishes arrest reports on their website at assumptionsheriff.com/category/arrests. These reports are more detailed than the LAVINE roster and include descriptions of the offenses tied to each arrest. They are posted regularly and give you a written record of who was arrested and what they are alleged to have done.
These reports are especially useful for recent arrests where you want more than just a name and date. Each report typically includes the person's name, the charges, and a brief narrative of the incident. The sheriff's office is transparent about these records, posting them publicly as part of their commitment to open communication with Assumption Parish residents.

What Assumption Parish Booking Records Show
The LAVINE roster for Assumption Parish gives you the basic booking fields: name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. The arrest reports on the sheriff's website go further. They include the charges, a summary of what led to the arrest, and sometimes additional details about the circumstances. Together, these two sources give a fairly complete picture of recent arrest activity in Assumption Parish.
Assumption Parish has substations at Pierre Part, Bayou L'Ourse, and Belle Rose in addition to the main office in Napoleonville. Deputies from all areas of the parish feed arrest records into the same system, so the LAVINE roster and the arrest reports reflect activity from across the whole parish, not just the town center.
The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office includes this disclaimer on its arrest records: all persons named as suspects in a criminal investigation or arrested and charged with a crime have not yet been convicted and are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Under Louisiana law, R.S. 44:1 and R.S. 44:31 grant the public broad access to government records, including booking and arrest data held by the sheriff's office.
Note: Juvenile records are not public and do not appear on the LAVINE roster or in published arrest reports.
Additional Ways to Search Assumption Parish Inmate Records
VINELink at vinelink.com is the national version of the VINE custody notification system. It covers jails in 48 states including all Louisiana parish jails connected to LAVINE. You can search by name and sign up for automated alerts when a specific person's custody status changes. The service is free and does not require personal information beyond an email or phone number for alerts.
The statewide phone hotline is another good option. Call 866-LAVNS-4-U (866-528-6748) any time of day or night. The automated system lets you check on a person's custody status by name. It is free and open every day. This is the quickest option when you don't have internet access or just need a fast status check.
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections offender search at doc.la.gov/offender-search covers state inmates rather than parish jail detainees. If someone was convicted and transferred to a state prison, they would appear there. If they are still in the Assumption Parish Detention Center, check the LAVINE roster. R.S. 15:587 in Louisiana law addresses how criminal history information may be shared and accessed, supporting the public availability of basic booking records.
Louisiana Public Records and Assumption Parish Arrests
Louisiana public records law is strong. R.S. 44:31 gives any person the right to inspect and copy public records maintained by government agencies. The Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office is a government agency, and many of its records, including booking data and arrest reports, are public by default. The LAVINE roster and the published arrest reports on the sheriff's website are the most accessible ways to view this information without making a formal request.
If you need a specific document, like an official booking report or a copy of an arrest warrant, you can submit a public records request to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office. Contact the main office at (985) 369-7281 or visit 112 Franklin Street in Napoleonville. Some records tied to active investigations may be withheld to protect the case, but standard arrest and booking documents are typically available. The sheriff's office will let you know if something falls under an exemption.
All persons listed in Assumption Parish recent bookings are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. An arrest or booking entry does not indicate a conviction.
