Public-records systems across Louisiana change more often than most people realize — county portals get redesigned, court fees shift, phone numbers get reassigned to different offices. We work hard to keep Louisiana Arrests accurate and useful, but we don’t always catch every change the moment it happens. If you’ve spotted something wrong, outdated, or just plain confusing, please let us know. A quick report from you helps every reader who lands on that page after you.
What to report
Almost anything that doesn’t look right is worth flagging. The kinds of issues we most commonly fix include:
- A link to a parish or state records portal that is broken or leads to the wrong page
- A phone number, mailing address, office hour, or fee that no longer matches what the agency shows
- Information on our site that conflicts with what an official court or government source now says
- A typo, a confusing instruction, or a step in a process that seems to be missing
- An outdated description of a records request procedure or form name
To help us track down the problem quickly, include three things: the web address of the page you were on, a short description of what looks wrong, and — if you have it — the correct information along with where you saw it, such as the official parish clerk or court website. You don’t need to share your name or any personal details.
What we can fix — and what we can’t
We can fix anything that is wrong in our own guidance. A dead link, a stale fee, a disconnected phone number, a step that no longer reflects how a process actually works — that’s exactly what this form is for, and we take those reports seriously.
What we cannot do is change, remove, seal, or hide an official record. Louisiana Arrests is an informational guide. We do not hold, host, or control any arrest, jail, or court records. Those records belong to the agencies and courts that created them, and only those bodies have the authority to alter or seal them.
If your goal is to have a Louisiana arrest record sealed or cleared, that process runs through the courts — not through us. The legal mechanism is called Expungement of Criminal Records, and our Louisiana arrest records guide explains how that process works and where to begin. If we’ve gotten a detail about expungement wrong in our description, please do report it and we’ll correct our explanation.
How we handle your report
Every report submitted through this form comes directly to the LA Arrests Editorial Team. We do our best to review each one. When we can confirm an issue against the official primary source — the parish clerk’s site, the court portal, the state agency’s published fee schedule — we apply the correction. Most confirmed fixes go live within 48 hours. Some take a little longer when we need to contact an agency directly or wait for an official page to be updated on their end.
We genuinely appreciate every report we receive. Accurate public-records information is only possible when readers take a moment to flag what needs a second look. Thank you for helping keep this resource reliable for everyone in Louisiana who needs it.
