Iberville Parish Arrest Records

Iberville Parish arrest records are public documents maintained by the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office, accessible online through both the LAVNS inmate roster and the Zuercher inmate portal. This page covers how to search current inmate data, how to request formal records, what fees apply, and what Louisiana law says about public access to arrest information in Iberville Parish.

Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office Arrest Records

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement and records-keeping agency for the parish. Sheriff Brett Stassi leads the office. The main phone number is (225) 687-5100. The jail is at 59605 Bayou Road, Plaquemine, Louisiana. Plaquemine is the parish seat and where the main sheriff's facilities are located.

The sheriff's website is at ibervillesheriff.com. It includes sections on records requests, background checks, and general agency information. For arrest records specifically, the site links to the LAVNS inmate roster and a Zuercher portal for real-time inmate lookup.

LRS 44:1, Louisiana's Public Records Act, gives any adult the right to inspect public records. The sheriff's office is a public agency and falls under this law. You can request records in person, by mail, or by phone. LRS 44:3 further specifies that initial arrest reports, booking records, and citation records are public even before a conviction takes place. These documents are open as soon as the booking occurs.

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office website provides access to public safety tools, records request forms, and inmate search links. The screenshot below shows the agency's main site.

The website is a useful starting point for anyone looking for inmate information, background check options, or general agency contact details.

Iberville Parish Inmate Search - LAVNS and Zuercher Portal

Iberville Parish offers two online tools for searching current inmate data. The first is the LAVNS system, accessible at iberville.lavns.org. LAVNS is the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System, a statewide database managed by the Department of Public Safety. It shows who is currently in custody and provides free alert notifications. If you sign up, you get a message any time the custody status of a specific person changes. Registration is anonymous and free.

The second tool is the Zuercher inmate portal, at iberville-911-la.zuercherportal.com/#/inmates. Zuercher is a jail management system used by many law enforcement agencies. The Iberville Parish portal shows current inmates and basic booking information. Both the LAVNS and Zuercher systems pull live data, so what you see reflects the current status of inmates at the time you search.

Use LAVNS for statewide coverage and alerts. Use the Zuercher portal for a quick local inmate lookup specific to Iberville Parish.

Both tools are public-facing and can be accessed without creating an account, except for LAVNS alerts which require an email to sign up.

Records Requests and Background Checks in Iberville Parish

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office handles records requests and background checks. The records request process is described on the agency website at ibervillesheriff.com/records-request/. Incident reports are available to the public with specific rules: the first report of a criminal offense is public, but investigative reports and supplemental reports are not. Only the initial incident report is open under Louisiana's public records law.

Background checks have more specific rules. The sheriff's office says all background checks must be done in person. You must bring a valid photo ID, such as a driver's license, state ID, military ID, or passport. No one can get a background check for another person. You can only get your own background check from this office.

The fees are set and clearly posted. A parish background check costs $5.00. A state background check is $41.00. If you need both state and federal, the total is $61.25. The Iberville Sheriff's Office also serves as a sub-station for Louisiana State Police for state and federal fingerprinting, which is needed for certain background check levels. LRS 15:588 gives you the right to review your own criminal history through the Louisiana State Police for approximately $46 total, which overlaps somewhat with what the sheriff's office offers locally.

The records request page gives clear guidance on what is available, what the fees are, and how to submit a request.

Louisiana Law on Arrest Records Access in Iberville Parish

Several Louisiana statutes control access to arrest records. LRS 44:1 is the foundation. It says any adult can inspect public records held by a Louisiana government body. The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office falls under this law. LRS 44:3 adds that initial arrest reports, booking records, summons, and citation records are public even before a conviction. This is a strong legal basis for public access to booking data in Iberville Parish.

LRS 15:587 is the limit. It says that compiled criminal history records held by the Louisiana State Police are closed to the general public. Only law enforcement and agencies with specific authority can access those files. This is different from the booking record created by the sheriff, which is public. The compiled history is a separate file at the state level that includes all arrests, charges, and dispositions across a person's record.

The distinction matters when you are deciding where to look. If you want to know about a specific recent arrest in Iberville Parish, the LAVNS roster, the Zuercher portal, or the sheriff's office can help. If you want a full history, that is only available to law enforcement or to the person themselves through LRS 15:588.
