Public Records Request

Requesting Public Records from the Sheriff's Office

Under the Louisiana Public Records Law (LRS 44:1 et al), the public has the right to request certain public records from the Sheriff's Office. While most records are available, there are certain restrictions and exemptions that might preclude an immediate (or any) release of information (e.g., records related to an ongoing criminal investigation, juvenile records, etc.).

To make a Public Records Request of the Sheriff's Office, you should contact Chief Dennis Pevey at 985-902-2003 or via email at peveyd@tpso.org.

If you are needing a copy of a crash report or an incident report, please contact our Criminal Records Office at 985-345-6150 or email your request to criminalrecords@tpso.org.
