Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Jail Records

The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office is the central law enforcement agency for the parish. The office and jail share the same address at 412 Bolivar Bishop Drive in DeRidder. This is where all Beauregard Parish jail bookings take place. Every person arrested in Beauregard Parish comes through this facility for inmate processing, and that includes having their jail mugshot taken. Each arrest creates a new mugshot record.

DeRidder is the parish seat and the largest town in Beauregard Parish. Most arrests in the area involve the sheriff's deputies, though local police from DeRidder also bring people to this jail for booking. The jail booking process is the same no matter which agency makes the arrest. The inmate is photographed, fingerprinted, and their personal details are recorded. Arrest charges are entered into the system along with bond information. The resulting Beauregard Parish booking record, including the jail mugshot, is maintained by the sheriff's office.

Louisiana law under La. R.S. 44:1 classifies jail booking records as public records. Beauregard Parish follows this law. You can request access to jail mugshots and booking details through the Beauregard Parish sheriff's office. La. R.S. 44:3 lists some exemptions, but typical adult arrest records are not among them.

Note: Beauregard Parish jail mugshots are taken during the standard booking process at the DeRidder facility.

Beauregard Parish Booking Records Explained

When someone is booked at the Beauregard Parish Jail, the arrest record captures several pieces of information. The inmate's full name, date of birth, gender, and race are all recorded. Physical descriptors like height, weight, hair color, and eye color go into the Beauregard Parish jail file. The arrest date and time, the charges, and the arresting agency are logged. Bond or bail amounts are added once the court sets them. And the jail mugshot ties the whole booking record to a face.

Beauregard Parish booking records also include:

• Booking number or inmate ID
• Arresting officer and agency
• All charges with statute references
• Bond amounts and posting status
• Release date and reason (if applicable)

These details matter if you are trying to get a full picture of a Beauregard Parish arrest. The jail mugshot alone tells you someone was booked. The rest of the arrest record explains the circumstances. Under Louisiana law, all of this is generally public for adult jail bookings. La. R.S. 44:700 restricts certain commercial uses of mugshots but does not stop you from requesting Beauregard Parish jail mugshots for personal or legal reasons.
