Find Shreveport Jail Mugshots

Shreveport jail mugshots are available through both the city jail and the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office, depending on where an inmate is held. The Shreveport Police Department operates its own city jail on Hope Street for short-term holds, while the Caddo Parish Correctional Center handles longer stays and most parish-level bookings. Together, these two facilities process thousands of arrests each year in northwest Louisiana. Mugshots and booking records from both are considered public under La. R.S. 44:1, and you can search the Caddo Parish system online for free.

Shreveport Police Arrest Records

The Shreveport Police Department patrols the city and makes most arrests within city limits. SPD has its own jail at 755 Hope Street where people are held right after arrest. Most stays at the city jail are short. Inmates are often moved to the Caddo Parish Correctional Center within a day or two.

Shreveport SPD records can provide police reports and incident files. Accident reports cost $10. Offense reports run $6 for the first two pages, then $2 for each extra page. Allow about three business days. For Shreveport jail mugshots specifically, the Caddo Parish Sheriff is the main source once someone moves out of the Shreveport city jail. Each Shreveport arrest generates a jail mugshot.

The Shreveport Police Department website is shown below.

You can use this site to find contact info for different Shreveport divisions, file reports, and get records request forms. Shreveport jail mugshots are not posted on the police department site.

Note: Shreveport jail mugshots are filed under Caddo Parish at the sheriff's inmate roster.

Caddo Parish Jail Mugshots Search

The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office runs the Caddo Parish Correctional Center, which is the main jail for the Shreveport area. Their online inmate search is the best tool for finding jail mugshots.

Visit caddosheriff.org/inmate-search to look up inmates by name or booking date. The system shows current inmates at the correctional center, along with their charges and bond status. This covers people arrested by SPD, the Caddo Parish Sheriff, and other agencies in the area.

The Caddo Parish inmate search updates throughout the day as new Shreveport bookings are processed and inmates are released or transferred.

For Shreveport jail records no longer in the live system, you may need to file a records request with the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office. Include the person's name and any other details you have. Fees vary, and turnaround for Shreveport jail mugshot requests is usually a few business days.

Note: Shreveport inmate mugshots and jail booking data are stored at the Caddo Parish Correctional Center.

How Shreveport Jail Bookings Work

When someone is arrested in Shreveport, the process goes like this. SPD officers make the arrest and bring the person to the city jail at 755 Hope Street. Staff there handle the initial booking, which includes the mugshot, prints, and charge entry. The person may stay at the city jail for a short time.

Within a day or so, most inmates transfer to the Caddo Parish Correctional Center. That is where they wait for their court date, post bond, or serve short sentences. The parish jail is a much bigger facility with room for hundreds of inmates. A judge sets bond, usually within 72 hours of the arrest.

Both sets of Shreveport jail records are public under Louisiana law. La. R.S. 44:1 covers the general right to access public records. La. R.S. 44:3 has some exemptions for active investigations. But Shreveport jail booking data and mugshots from completed bookings are open. La. R.S. 44:700 also puts rules on how jail mugshot images can be used commercially, though personal Shreveport jail records lookups are fine. The jail roster is free to search.

Note: Shreveport arrest records may appear in both the city jail and Caddo Parish jail booking systems depending on timing.
