Where to Send Your Question
Use the office that controls the record or custody system involved:
- Current parish custody or booking: Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office, Orleans Justice Center, 2800 Perdido Street, New Orleans, LA 70119. The current prison and custody number is 504-202-9339. The Louisiana Sheriffs’ Association directory lists administration at 504-202-9445. Confirm instructions before mailing because older forms show another address.
- Police report or NOPD event: New Orleans Police Department Records and Identification Division, 1615 Poydras Street, Fifth Floor, New Orleans, LA 70112. Records: 504-658-5455. Non-emergency police assistance: 504-821-2222. Public hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., with closing at 3:00 p.m.
- Criminal court case or disposition: Orleans Parish Criminal District Court and Clerk of Court, 2700 Tulane Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119. The clerk’s published phone is 504-658-9000.
- State custody or supervision: Use Louisiana DPS&C inmate information and LA VINE. The state locator phone is 225-383-4580 and works best with a name and date of birth or DPS&C number.
- Federal or immigration custody: Use the Federal Bureau of Prisons Inmate Locator or the ICE Online Detainee Locator. Those systems are separate from OPSO.
Call 911 for an emergency. For a specific official record, use the relevant agency’s public-record request portal and identify the person, date, item or booking number, and exact document sought. This site cannot submit or track that request for you.
