Caddo Parish jail roster: what a booking record shows.
A booking record is made when someone is taken into custody at the Caddo Correctional Center. It is an arrest-stage record: it says the person was booked on a date, on the charges written down at booking, and whether bond was set. It never says the person was convicted.
Most official rosters list only the people held now, so an entry usually comes down after release. Caddo Parish’s roster at caddosheriff.org is the place to confirm current custody.
What a Caddo Parish booking record shows
Caddo Parish arrest records: arrest, charge and outcome. Three records, three places.
Booking at the Caddo Correctional Center
Shows that someone was arrested in Caddo Parish and what they were booked on. Searchable here through the Caddo Correctional Center roster.
Filed in the District Court
Prosecutors decide what to charge. A felony goes to the District Court; a misdemeanor to the District Court or a parish or city court. The charge filed can differ from the charge at booking.
Disposition in the court file
Conviction, dismissal or acquittal is in the court record, kept by the Clerk of Court. Caddo Parish criminal court cases in the search carry it where the court publishes it.
An arrest record alone never proves a crime. Read the guide to arrest records for how bookings, charges and dispositions differ, and why a dismissed charge can still appear.
Caddo Parish court records: finding a case and its outcome.
In Louisiana, felony cases from Caddo Parish are heard in the District Court, and misdemeanors in the District Court or a parish or city court. The Clerk of Court keeps the case files, which is where a disposition, a sentence and later sealing or expungement orders are recorded.
Caddo Parish criminal court cases are part of a name search here, with charges and the outcome where the court publishes them, alongside Louisiana’s statewide court source.
Finding a Caddo Parish case yourself
- Get the full name and a date of birth; a case number, if you have one, is faster still.
- Ask the Clerk of Court for Caddo Parish, in Shreveport, by name and date of birth or by case number.
- For a certified copy of a judgment, ask the Clerk of Court; certified copies usually carry a small fee.
Caddo Parish warrant search: Louisiana warrant lookup.
Louisiana publishes a statewide warrant system, and a name search here includes it, so a warrant entered there for someone in Caddo Parish shows with the person’s other records. Not every local warrant reaches a published list. A search that finds nothing is not proof that no warrant exists; to be certain, ask the Caddo Parish sheriff’s office or the Clerk of Court.
Caddo Parish mugshots: where booking photos are published.
A booking photo is taken at the Caddo Correctional Center when someone is booked. Where Caddo Parish publishes it, it appears on the official roster at caddosheriff.org, usually only while the person is held.
OffenderSearch does not show or sell booking photos, and never charges to remove anything. A photo on a commercial mugshot site is not a conviction, and several states restrict sites that charge to take one down.
