Search Bossier Parish 72 Hour Booking Online
You can search Bossier Parish 72 hour booking records online for free using two tools. The first is the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office inmate roster on their website. The second is the LAVNS roster at Bossier.LAVINE.org. Both show current inmates with their names, charges, and booking dates.
The LAVNS roster updates regularly with data from the jail management system. It shows everyone currently held at the Bossier Parish detention facilities. You can sort by name or booking date. The system also lets you register for victim notifications. When an inmate's status changes, you get an alert. This is free and open to anyone.
Below is the Bossier Parish records portal, which provides another way to search for inmate and booking data online.
The LAVNS portal for Bossier Parish is also shown here. This is the statewide system that most parishes use for their public jail roster.
Both tools are free to use. The older LAVNS link also works for accessing the same roster data.
