This is a private reference site, not a government office. It cannot confirm custody, release a person, post bond, or retrieve an official booking record. Contact the responsible government office directly for those services.
Choose the Right Rapides Office
Rapides Parish Sheriff's Office is at 701 Murray Street, Suite 301, Alexandria, LA 71301, with a main line at 318-473-6700. Jail Records can be reached at 318-449-5453, while the Booking Desk is 318-473-6750. The Criminal Records office is at 2005 Vandevelde Avenue, Alexandria, LA 71303, phone 318-473-6857. RPSO does not publish general office hours, so confirm availability before visiting. Use the source that matches the request:
- For a mugshot or booking record, the home guide gives the official search and written-request sequence.
- For a possible warrant, use the official paths explained on the Wanted Fugitives page.
- For someone just arrested, check the RPSO recent-arrests component and current LAVNS roster.
- For release status or alerts, use LAVNS or call Jail Records. A released person may no longer appear on the live roster.
- For a specific detention location, use the Louisiana DPS&C Rapides Parish facility directory or call the Booking Desk.
- For a sentenced state prisoner, use the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections inmate-information page and LAVNS locator.
- For federal or immigration custody, use the Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator. Neither is the Rapides Parish jail roster.
