This page explains how to access the Beauregard Parish roster, what information each booking entry contains, and what other tools are available for finding inmate and arrest records in the parish.

Beauregard Parish Recent Bookings on the LAVINE Roster

The Beauregard Parish LAVINE roster at beauregard.lavns.org/roster.aspx is where you go to find who is currently booked into the Beauregard Parish jail. LAVINE is Louisiana's statewide victim and inmate notification system, operated by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement. The Beauregard Parish feed connects to the jail's local booking database, and the roster reflects current custody status.

Each entry on the roster shows the person's full name in Last, First format, their date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. These are the standard fields used across all Louisiana LAVINE rosters. Use the A-Z alphabet filter at the top of the page to jump to entries starting with a specific letter, or select Show All to view everyone currently in custody. The filter saves time when you know the name you are looking for.

The roster shows only people currently in custody. Once a person is released, they are removed from the list. The LAVINE system also offers a free anonymous notification feature. Click the icon next to any name on the roster to register for custody change alerts. You will be notified by phone or email when the person's status changes, with no personal information required.

Beauregard Parish Jail and Sheriff Office Details

The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office in DeRidder is responsible for running the parish jail and maintaining all booking records. All law enforcement agencies operating within the parish, including municipal police in DeRidder and other towns, book people through the sheriff's facility. This means the LAVINE roster reflects arrests from across the entire parish, not just from one agency or area.

DeRidder is in the heart of Beauregard Parish in southwest Louisiana. The sheriff's office manages the booking process for the parish and ensures records are transmitted to the LAVINE system. If you need to reach the sheriff's office directly, you can visit in person in DeRidder or call during business hours. For questions about a specific booking or to submit a public records request, contact the main office in DeRidder.

What Beauregard Parish Booking Records Contain

Booking records in Beauregard Parish follow the same format as other Louisiana parish jails connected to the LAVINE system. The live roster shows name, date of birth, race, gender, and arrest date. This is enough information to confirm if someone is currently in custody and when they were booked. For more detailed information, like specific charges, bond status, or a full booking report, you will need to contact the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office directly.

Louisiana's public records law makes most booking and arrest data available to the public. Under R.S. 44:1, public records are broadly defined to include documents held by government agencies. Under R.S. 44:31, any person may inspect and copy these records. The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office is required to respond to public records requests and cannot withhold standard booking information without a specific legal exemption. If you need a written copy of an arrest report or other document, submit a request to the sheriff's office.

R.S. 15:587 addresses how criminal history records may be shared in Louisiana. Basic arrest and booking records, including the data on the LAVINE roster, are generally treated as public information and are available to anyone who wants to look them up.

Note: Juvenile records are protected by law in Louisiana and will not appear on the Beauregard Parish LAVINE roster.

Additional Ways to Find Beauregard Parish Arrest Records

The LAVINE roster is the most direct tool for current Beauregard Parish bookings, but several other resources are worth knowing. VINELink at vinelink.com is the national custody notification system that covers jails in 48 states. Louisiana parish jails connected to LAVINE, including Beauregard Parish, are included in VINELink. You can search by name and sign up for automated custody alerts the same way you can on the local LAVINE portal.

The statewide phone hotline at 866-LAVNS-4-U (866-528-6748) is a free, automated service that runs around the clock every day of the year. Call and follow the prompts to search for someone by name and check their custody status. No computer or internet access is needed, which makes it a convenient backup when you can't reach the website.

If someone has been convicted and moved to a Louisiana state prison, they will not appear on the Beauregard Parish LAVINE roster. Use the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections offender search at doc.la.gov/offender-search to search for state inmates. That system is separate from the parish jail roster and covers people serving sentences in state correctional facilities.

Louisiana Public Records and Beauregard Parish Arrest Information

Louisiana has strong public records protections for access to government information. R.S. 44:31 gives every person the right to inspect, copy, and reproduce records held by government agencies, including the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office. Booking data, arrest reports, and other records tied to people taken into custody are generally public under Louisiana law. The LAVINE roster is the most accessible way to view this information in real time without making a formal written request.

If you need documents the LAVINE roster does not include, contact the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office in DeRidder. You can ask for an arrest report, a booking sheet, or other records tied to a specific case. The sheriff's office must respond to public records requests within the timeframe set by state law. Some records related to active investigations may be temporarily withheld, but standard booking records are not typically exempt from disclosure.

All persons listed in Beauregard Parish recent bookings are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. A booking record is not a conviction.
