How to Look Up Someone in Plaquemines Parish Jail: Using the LAVNS Roster

To find out if someone is being held in Plaquemines Parish, start with the official jail roster. The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff's Office links directly to the Plaquemines LAVNS jail roster (plaquemines.lavns.org), which displays a current "# of offenders" count (for example, 599 offenders).

• ✓ Name
• ✓ Date of birth (DOB)
• ✓ Arrest Date
• ✓ Race
• ✓ Gender

Check the "Last updated" time first. That tells you how recent the list is, which matters a lot if you're searching right after an arrest. Once you spot a name, confirm you have the right person by matching more than just the name. The roster shows DOB and an Arrest Date column, so you can separate people with similar names and verify whether the booking looks recent.

The Plaquemines LAVNS roster page also lets you register anonymously for notifications if the offender's custody status changes. That's especially useful when things are moving quickly, since the roster is built around timely updates and shows its "Last updated" timestamp right on the page.

1. Open the Plaquemines LAVNS roster page - this is the same page that lists the roster and the “Last updated” time.
2. Find the option to register anonymously for notifications - it’s presented on the roster page.
3. Complete the registration prompts - follow the on-screen instructions to finish signup for custody-change alerts.

Not seeing the person you expected? Double-check your spelling and try again. If the arrest was very recent, give the roster some time to refresh and check back later.

1. Call the Intake and Booking Desk - use 504-934-7637 or 504-934-7635.
2. Ask about booking status - share the person’s full name and any identifying details you have (like date of birth) so staff can look up the correct record.
