Tangipahoa Parish Recent Bookings

Tangipahoa Parish recent bookings are available through the LAVINE online roster and an alternative jail roster at tbs-web.com. Both sources list people currently held at the Tangipahoa Parish Jail in Amite City, and each record includes the arrest date, charges, and bond amount. All persons listed are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

LAVINE Roster and Online Booking Search

The Louisiana Victim Information and Notification Everyday system, known as LAVINE, runs a live inmate roster for Tangipahoa Parish at tangipahoa.lavns.org/roster.aspx. This roster updates as bookings happen, so it reflects who is in custody right now. The page is free to use and does not require an account.

Each entry on the LAVINE roster shows the person's full name, booking date, and the charges filed. Bond information appears where it has been set. You can sort and filter by name to find a specific person quickly. The roster is the fastest way to confirm whether someone has been booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail following an arrest.

The LAVINE page for Tangipahoa Parish is shown below.

The roster loads quickly and lists all current inmates held in the parish jail.

Tangipahoa Parish also has a second roster at tbs-web.com/jail/TangipahoaJail/roster. This alternative source is worth checking if the LAVINE page is slow or temporarily down. Both rosters pull from the same jail population, but the display format differs. Use whichever is more accessible at the time.

The alternative roster is shown below.

This backup roster provides another way to find current bookings when the primary LAVINE link is unavailable.

Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office

Sheriff Gerald Sticker took office in July 2024 and now leads the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office. The TPSO operates out of two main locations. The Hammond office sits at 15475 Club Deluxe Road, Hammond, LA 70403, and can be reached at (985) 902-2000. The Amite office is at 101 Campo Lane, Amite, LA 70422, with a direct line at (985) 748-8147.

The TPSO website at www.tpso.org offers several public tools. You can get news about recent arrests, find department contact pages, and access a mobile app that lets you submit tips, sign up for alerts, and check inmate information from your phone. The app is a useful option if you want to track bookings without visiting the website each time.

The sheriff's homepage is shown below.

The TPSO site provides direct access to inmate information, news, and department contact details.

For general questions about a booking or an inmate's status, calling the Amite office is usually the best first step. Staff there handle jail-related inquiries and can confirm whether a person is in custody and what the current bond amount is.

Tangipahoa Parish Jail

The Tangipahoa Parish Jail is at 101 Campo Lane, Amite, LA 70422. The direct jail phone number is (985) 748-3363. This is separate from the main sheriff's line, so use this number when you specifically need information about someone held at the jail.

The jail houses people who have been arrested on local charges and are awaiting trial, as well as individuals serving short sentences for misdemeanor offenses. The facility is staffed around the clock. If someone you know was recently arrested in the parish, the jail line can confirm their housing status and whether a bond has been set.

Bond amounts shown on the LAVINE roster or the alternative roster reflect what a judge has set. Paying bond or arranging a bond through a bail bondsman releases the person from the jail pending their court date. If no bond is listed, the person may be held without bond by court order.

What Booking Records Contain

When someone is booked into the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, the sheriff's office creates an intake record. This record is what shows up on the public roster. It includes the person's full legal name, date of birth, race, sex, and the date and time of the arrest. The charges are listed by statute, and a bond amount appears once it has been set by a judge.

Some entries also include a mugshot. Mugshot policies vary, and not every booking results in a publicly posted photo. The charge listing tells you what the arresting agency filed, not what a court has decided. Charges can be dropped, reduced, or amended as a case moves through the court system.

Booking records are public under Louisiana law. Anyone can look them up without a subscription or a formal request. Keep in mind that an arrest is not a conviction. Every person listed in the jail roster is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Louisiana Public Records Law

Louisiana's public records law gives residents the right to view government documents, including law enforcement records. The main statutes are R.S. 44:1 and R.S. 44:31, which define public records and establish the right of access. Under these rules, booking data held by a sheriff's office is generally open to the public.

There are exceptions. Records tied to active investigations, juvenile cases, and certain sensitive personal information may be withheld. But the basic booking roster, which lists who is in custody and on what charges, falls within the scope of public records and must be made available on request or, in most parishes, through an online portal.

R.S. 15:587 governs criminal history record information and places rules on how that data can be shared and used. For routine jail roster lookups, this statute is less relevant, but it matters when someone seeks a full criminal history rather than just a current booking entry. If you need a formal background check, the Louisiana State Police handle those requests separately.

If the sheriff's office denies a public records request you believe should be granted, the Louisiana Attorney General's office can provide guidance. The Louisiana State Archives also has records dating back years for cases that have been closed.

LA VINE Notifications and VINELink

LAVINE stands for Louisiana Victim Information and Notification Everyday. The program, run by the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement, lets you sign up for automatic alerts when an inmate's status changes. That means you get notified when someone is released, transferred, or has a scheduled court date. You can learn more at lcle.la.gov/programs/lavine/.

VINELink is the national version of the same system. If the person you are tracking moves to a facility in another state or to a federal facility, VINELink at www.vinelink.com can still send you notifications. Registration is free. You can sign up by phone at 866-528-6748 or online through the VINELink site. The service is available around the clock.

Victim notification is one of the main reasons LAVINE was built. If you are a victim of a crime and want to know when the person who harmed you is released from the Tangipahoa Parish Jail, registering through LAVINE or VINELink is the most reliable way to stay informed without having to call the jail yourself.

State Inmates and DPS&C Offender Search

The Tangipahoa Parish Jail holds people awaiting trial or serving short sentences. If someone you are looking for was convicted of a felony and sent to a state facility, they will not appear on the parish jail roster. For state inmates, use the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections offender search at doc.la.gov/offender-search/.

The DPS&C database covers everyone in state prison, on parole, or on probation in Louisiana. You can search by name and see the facility where the person is held, their sentence length, and their earliest possible release date. This is a separate system from LAVINE and covers a different population than the parish jail roster.

If you are unsure whether someone is in parish custody or state custody, check both the LAVINE roster and the DPS&C offender search. Transfers from parish jails to state facilities happen regularly after sentencing, and a person can move from one system to the other within days of a court decision.
