Pointe Coupee 72 Hour Booking Roster Online

The Pointe Coupee Parish LAVNS jail roster is the best online tool for checking 72 hour booking records. LAVNS stands for Louisiana Automated Victim Notification System. The roster shows everyone currently in custody at the Pointe Coupee Parish Detention Center.

Each listing on the roster includes the inmate's name, date of birth, race, gender, arrest date, mugshot, ID number, custody status, custody detail, booking date, and location. That is a lot of data for a free public tool. You can click on any name to see more details. The system also lets you register anonymously to be notified when an offender's custody status changes. That alert comes by phone, text, or email.

The LAVNS roster updates frequently. The data feeds from the jail's management system, and rosters refresh about every 30 minutes when the connection is working right. This means new bookings should appear on the roster within an hour of processing in most cases.

The sheriff's office provides this roster to the public and law enforcement in the interest of public safety. The data is not an official document, and no other publication or copying is allowed without the express written consent of the agency. But you are free to search it and use the info for personal reference.
