Kenner Quick Facts
Jefferson Parish Sheriff and Kenner Bookings
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office processes all Kenner 72 hour booking records. Sheriff Joseph P. Lopinto III runs the office, which is based at 1233 Westbank Expressway in Harvey. Even though Kenner has its own police department, arrested persons get transferred to the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center for booking. That is where the 72 hour booking record gets created.
Kenner sits on the east bank of Jefferson Parish, close to the New Orleans airport. It is a busy area. The Kenner Police Department makes arrests and hands people off to the parish for processing. Once the parish jail staff book someone in, the data goes into the JPSO system. That system feeds the online inmate search, the LAVINE roster, and the internal records database all at once. Under La. R.S. 44:1, these booking records count as public documents.

Search Kenner 72 Hour Booking Online
Jefferson Parish has one of the most thorough online booking systems in Louisiana. The JPSO runs an online inmate search that lets you look up anyone currently held in the parish jail. You can search by name, and the results show the person's charges, booking date, mugshot, bond amount, and next court date. This tool works for all Kenner arrests that went through the parish system.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office website is where you find the inmate search link. This screenshot shows the JPSO main page.
From the JPSO site, look for the "Online Inmate Search" link. The search tool is free and open to anyone. You do not need to make an account. Type in the name and hit search. Results come back fast. If the person was booked in Kenner within the last 72 hours, their record should show up here. People who have already been released may not appear on the active roster.
Jefferson Parish also connects to the statewide LAVINE roster. You can try Jefferson.LAVINE.org for another way into the same data. The LAVINE system gets updated every 30 minutes across most parishes. Both tools pull from the same jail management system, so you should see the same results either way.
JeffNet Court Records for Kenner Cases
Beyond the free inmate search, Jefferson Parish offers a more detailed records system called JeffNet. The Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court has run JeffNet since 2004. It gives access to property, civil, criminal, and other public records maintained by the clerk's office. JeffNet is not free. It costs $100 to set up and $50 per month after that.
Most people searching for Kenner 72 hour booking records will not need JeffNet. The free JPSO inmate search covers recent bookings just fine. JeffNet is more useful for attorneys, bail bond agents, and researchers who need deep access to court filings on a regular basis. If you only need to check on one Kenner arrest, stick with the free tools.
Note: JeffNet requires a subscription and is aimed at professionals who search records frequently.
Copies of Kenner Booking Records
If you want a paper copy of a Kenner 72 hour booking record, call the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office at 504-363-5500. They can tell you what you need to submit your request. You can also go in person to 1233 Westbank Expressway in Harvey during business hours. Bring photo ID and be ready to give the full name and approximate booking date for the person you are looking up.
Under Louisiana law, La. R.S. 44:32 says the record custodian must present public records to anyone of legal age who asks. The sheriff's office may charge copy fees. For a full criminal background check through the Louisiana State Police, the cost is $26 plus a $5 technology fee. That process goes through the state, not the parish.
The VINELink system offers free tracking for anyone booked in Jefferson Parish. You can register to get alerts when someone's custody status changes. This covers all Kenner bookings since they go through the Jefferson Parish jail. Louisiana Revised Statutes 15:574.12 requires correctional facilities to maintain accurate records for every person in their custody. The VINE system helps make that information accessible.
