Iberville Parish Police Blotter Records

The Iberville Parish police blotter covers incident reports, arrest logs, and other law enforcement records held by the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office in Plaquemine. This page explains how to find and request those records, what fees apply, and what online tools the office makes available to the public.

Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office is the primary law enforcement and records agency for the parish. The main office is located at 58050 Meriam Street in Plaquemine. You can also reach the office by mail at P.O. Box 231, Plaquemine, LA 70764. The main phone number is 225-687-5100, and fax is 225-687-1947. If you need records or background check services, start with the Criminal Records Division at that same main number. The office also has two substations: Maringouin at 225-625-2365 and St. Gabriel at 225-642-5703.

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office website at ibervillesheriff.com offers access to online resources and information about the Criminal Records Division.

The homepage shows the main divisions of the Sheriff's Office and provides direct links to records and background check services available to the public.

Louisiana law gives every adult the right to inspect or copy public records under La. R.S. § 44:31. The Iberville Sheriff's Office must respond to written requests within three business days under La. R.S. § 44:32. If a record cannot be produced right away, they must tell you in writing when it will be available or give a legal reason for denial.

Background Checks and Records Available in Iberville Parish

The Criminal Records Division handles background checks and incident reports for Iberville Parish. Background checks come in three levels, each with a fixed fee. A parish-only background check costs $5.00. A state-level background check through the Louisiana Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information costs $41.00. If you need both state and federal criminal history, the combined check costs $61.25. These fees are set by the state and apply uniformly across the parish.

Incident reports and arrest records are also available from the Criminal Records Division by calling 225-687-5100. The office can tell you what documentation is needed for your specific request. For court records and criminal case documents, the eClerks LA system provides online access to filings from Iberville Parish courts. This system is separate from the Sheriff's Office and is maintained by the Louisiana Supreme Court's administrative office.

One important restriction applies in Iberville Parish: motor vehicle crash reports are not public records under La. R.S. § 32:398. This is different from what some other parishes may allow, so if you need an accident report from Iberville, you will need to demonstrate that you are an involved party or have a legal basis for access. Juvenile reports carry a separate restriction and require a court order before they can be released to anyone outside the case.

Note: If you are unsure whether a record is available, call the Criminal Records Division at 225-687-5100 before submitting a formal written request. Staff can often tell you quickly what is and is not accessible.

Online Access for Iberville Parish Records

The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office uses Public Safety Suite PRO, a digital platform that gives the public online access to certain records. This system may include incident report lookups, booking information, and other data the office has made available online. Check the Sheriff's website at ibervillesheriff.com for the current access link and any login or registration requirements.

For court records and criminal case documents, eClerks LA is the go-to resource. This is the Louisiana court system's public case access portal. It covers filings, judgments, and other court documents from Iberville Parish. You can search by name or case number. Not all records are available on eClerks, but it is a good first stop before contacting the Clerk of Court directly.

Louisiana State Police also maintains background check and record services that may be useful if you need a statewide search. The LSP background checks page at lsp.org/services/background-checks explains the state-level process.

State Police background checks cover Louisiana criminal history beyond what a single parish office can provide, making them useful for statewide searches.

How to Request Iberville Parish Police Blotter Records

To request records from the Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office, contact the Criminal Records Division at 225-687-5100. You can also visit the main office at 58050 Meriam Street in Plaquemine or mail your request to P.O. Box 231, Plaquemine, LA 70764. Written requests are accepted by mail or in person.

Your request should include your name, the type of record you need, the date range, and any case numbers or names that can help staff locate it. The office operates under La. R.S. § 44:31, which gives the public the right to inspect records, and La. R.S. § 44:32, which sets the three-business-day response deadline. If your request is denied, the office must provide a written denial with a specific legal reason. Common grounds for denial include active investigations under La. R.S. § 44:3 and records involving minors.

Copy fees in Iberville Parish follow standard Louisiana rates for most documents. Background checks have fixed fees as listed above. Ask the office what payment methods they accept. For court records, contact the Iberville Parish Clerk of Court separately, as that office operates independently from the Sheriff's Office. Each office handles its own records and fee schedule.
