Why We Built This Site
Louisiana permits access to many public records, but no one office holds the full Orleans Parish record trail. NOPD keeps police reports. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office manages booking and jail information. Criminal court clerks maintain filed charges, minutes, and dispositions. Louisiana State Police BCII maintains the Louisiana Computerized Criminal History repository, while Louisiana DPS&C handles corrections records and the Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry provides its own public search. Bringing the verified access routes together makes that divided system easier to navigate.
What You Will Find Here
- Record guides: ways to search and understand Orleans Parish criminal court cases
- Official-check instructions: Louisiana Right to Review and authorized BCII channels
- Agency details: routes to police, sheriff, court, corrections, and registry custodians
- Record-clearing information: the courts and agencies involved in Louisiana expungement
What We Cannot Do
This is a privately operated reference resource with no connection to a Louisiana court, police department, sheriff, or state office. Its role has clear limits:
- It cannot run an official check or retrieve a person's criminal record
- It cannot submit a public-record request or expungement filing for a reader
- It cannot issue certified court papers or repository records
- It cannot provide legal advice about a charge, warrant, or case
- It cannot promise that an office's fee, hours, or contact details have not changed
Official copies must come from the office that maintains the record, such as the court clerk, sheriff, NOPD, or Louisiana State Police BCII.
Search Partners
Some record pages contain search tools supplied by outside companies. Those providers control their results, fees, signup terms, and privacy practices. A paid enrollment reached through one of those tools may produce a referral payment that supports site operations. Orleans Parish Criminal History does not set the provider's prices or decide what its reports contain.
