New Iberia Arrest Records

New Iberia arrest records are maintained by the New Iberia Police Department and the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. The city police handle law enforcement within New Iberia's city limits, while the parish sheriff manages the parish jail and broader county-level detention records. Together, these two agencies hold the public arrest and booking data for New Iberia. This page explains how to access those records, what online tools exist, and what your rights are under Louisiana law.

The New Iberia Police Department is at 457 East Main Street, New Iberia, Louisiana 70560. Chief Todd A. D'Albor leads the department, which employs 73 sworn and non-sworn personnel. The department's website is at newiberiapolice.com. This is the agency responsible for all police calls within New Iberia city limits. Arrest records generated by city officers are maintained by the department and are available to the public under Louisiana law.

The Records Division at 457 East Main Street handles requests for crash reports and initial reports. These reports cost $10.00 each.

Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office and Jail

The Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office, known as IPSO, operates the Iberia Parish Jail at 3618 Par Rd 515, New Iberia, LA 70560. The parish jail phone is (337) 369-2431. The IPSO website is at iberiaso.org. When arrests in New Iberia result in detention, individuals are typically held at the parish jail. The sheriff's office maintains booking records for all persons processed through the facility.

The IPSO handles felony arrests and cases that exceed the scope of city police jurisdiction. When a New Iberia Police Department arrest involves serious charges, the individual is transferred to IPSO custody at the parish jail. At that point, the booking record becomes part of the sheriff's system and is accessible through the sheriff's office rather than just the city police.

IPSO public records requests follow the same LRS 44:1 framework as all Louisiana law enforcement agencies. Written requests submitted to the sheriff's office must receive a response within three business days. Arrest records and booking data are public under LRS 44:3. Contact the IPSO directly through the information on their website for specific requests.

Iberia Parish Inmate Search

The public inmate search for Iberia Parish is at iberia-la.publiclogs.com. This tool is updated every 24 hours and shows current inmates at the Iberia Parish Jail. You can search by name to find someone arrested in New Iberia and see their booking details, charges, and current custody status. The search is free and does not require registration.

The 24-hour update cycle means there may be a short delay between an arrest and the record appearing in the system. If someone was arrested very recently and their name does not appear in the search results, it is worth calling the parish jail directly at (337) 369-2431 to confirm whether they have been processed into the system yet.

For statewide custody alerts, the VINE system at vinelink.vineapps.com allows free anonymous registration for notifications about an inmate's custody status. VINE sends alerts by phone, text, or email when a person is released, transferred, or has a court date. This is a useful tool for staying informed without checking the inmate search manually each day.

Probation, Parole, and Related Resources

If you are looking for information related to someone on probation or parole in New Iberia, the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections operates a Probation and Parole Office at 1221 Adrian St., New Iberia, LA 70560. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This office handles supervision of persons released from custody under court-ordered conditions in Iberia Parish.

Probation and parole records are not the same as arrest records. They are maintained by the corrections department rather than by the city police or parish sheriff. If you need records related to someone's supervision status, the Probation and Parole Office is the right contact, not the police department or the jail.

Note: The Probation and Parole Office on Adrian St. in New Iberia serves the Iberia Parish area and is distinct from the sheriff's office and the parish jail on Par Rd 515.

Louisiana Records Law and Your Rights

The Louisiana Public Records Act at LRS 44:1 gives every adult the right to request and inspect public records held by government agencies. This applies to both the New Iberia Police Department and the Iberia Parish Sheriff's Office. You do not need to explain why you want a record. The agency must respond within three business days. If they deny your request, they must give you a written reason citing a specific exemption in the law.

Initial arrest reports, booking records, summons, and citations are listed as public under LRS 44:3. This means these documents are open even while a case is still in court or if charges were later dropped. The only records that can be withheld are those that fall under a specific statutory exemption, such as juvenile records or sealed court orders.

If you want your own criminal history from the state, you can request it through the Louisiana State Police under LRS 15:588. The fee is approximately $46. Full public access to the statewide LACCH database is limited under LRS 15:587, but local booking records from city police and parish sheriffs remain open to anyone under LRS 44:3.
