Requesting Public Records from APSO

To get a copy of an arrest report or booking sheet from an incident in Prairieville, contact the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office directly. The main office at 828 S. Irma Boulevard in Gonzales handles public records requests. You can also visit the Prairieville substation at 38022 Henry Road for local matters. Bring a written request that includes the name of the person involved, the approximate date of the arrest, and the type of record you are looking for.

Under LRS 44:1, the sheriff's office must respond to public records requests within three business days. They may charge a fee for copies but cannot charge you to view a record in person. If they deny your request, they must provide a written explanation that cites the specific legal exemption they are using. Arrest records and booking data are public under LRS 44:3, so a denial for these documents should include a clear legal basis.

If your request involves a case that went to court, you may also need records from the Ascension Parish Clerk of Court, which handles court filings and case documents separate from what the sheriff's office maintains.

Louisiana Statewide Arrest Record Access

Louisiana operates a statewide victim notification and inmate tracking system called LAVNS. Ascension Parish participates in this network. If you want to track an inmate's status or get alerts about a custody change, you can register through VINE at vinelink.vineapps.com. Registration is free and anonymous. You will get alerts by phone, email, or text when the person's status changes.

For state-level criminal history records, the Louisiana State Police maintains the Louisiana Criminal History database. Residents have the right to request their own criminal history under LRS 15:588. The fee for a personal record request is approximately $46. Access to the full LACCH system by the general public is restricted under LRS 15:587, but initial arrest records from county agencies remain public.
