How to Find Someone at St. Bernard Parish Jail (Search the Roster & Get Custody-Status Alerts)

St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's Office maintains an online jail roster for St. Bernard Parish Jail. Use the roster's built-in filters and name listings to narrow results and confirm you're looking at the right person. Here's a useful feature: the roster lets you register anonymously for notifications whenever someone's custody status changes. If you're worried about missing a release, transfer, or other update, setting up that alert saves you from checking repeatedly.

Can't find the person on the local roster? Not sure which facility they're in? Use the Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System (LAVNS) for a wider search. LAVNS updates every 24 hours and helps family and friends locate people in custody, including those assigned to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections (DPS&C). You've got options with LAVNS. Search by location if you have a general idea where they're held, or search by name if you're starting from scratch. Got a DPS&C ID or case number? That usually gives the cleanest match, especially for common names. Think of it this way: the St. Bernard roster answers "Are they here right now?" while LAVNS answers "Where are they in the system?" - especially helpful when someone has recently moved or you need information beyond a single facility.

1. Start on the St. Bernard Parish online jail roster - Find the person’s listing, then use the roster option to register anonymously so you’ll be notified about any changes in custody status.
2. Set up statewide custody-status monitoring through LAVNS - Run a search by location, name, or ID/case number so you can still find them if they’re moved or assigned under DPS&C.
3. Enroll in Louisiana DPS&C emergency notifications - Sign up to receive emergency and disruption updates by phone, text, and/or email.

Tried both the St. Bernard Parish roster and LAVNS with no luck? Call the Imprisoned Person Locator at 225-383-4580. You'll need either the person's DPS&C number or their name and date of birth. They can tell you the housing assignment and which facility the person is at.

Sometimes the local roster and LAVNS won't match up right away. For confirming whether someone is currently at St. Bernard Parish Jail, the parish's online roster is your most direct source. Keep your alert subscriptions active - especially if you're tracking someone who may be transferred or assigned under DPS&C. When you need a tie-breaker or can't find them on either search, call the Imprisoned Person Locator and verify using the person's DPS&C number or their name and date of birth.
