Bossier City Police Records

Bossier City police records are available through the Bossier City Police Department's Records Division, which handles incident reports, arrest records, and related documents for this city in northwest Louisiana. Whether you need a report for insurance purposes, a legal matter, or personal reference, this page covers the contacts, fees, and procedures for getting police records in Bossier City.

Bossier City Police Department

The Bossier City Police Department is at 620 Benton Road, Bossier City, LA 71111. The main department line is (318) 741-8500. The Records Division, which handles requests for incident reports, arrest records, and related documents, can be reached at (318) 741-8592. The department website is at bossiercity.org.

Records requests can be submitted through the Records Division in person or in writing. Some reports may be available online depending on the type of record. Fees apply to most records requests, and the amount depends on the type and length of the document. Call (318) 741-8592 before you visit to confirm what's available, what it costs, and how long processing will take. Bring valid photo ID when you come in person.

Louisiana State Police Troop G

Bossier City is home to Louisiana State Police Troop G. The Troop G office is at 5302 Industrial Drive Extension, Bossier City, LA 71112. The phone is (318) 741-6400. LSP Troop G covers the northwest Louisiana region and handles state-level law enforcement matters including highway crashes on state roads, major crimes investigation support, and statewide records held at the troop level.

If your incident occurred on a state highway or interstate in the Bossier City area, the crash report may be filed through LSP rather than BCPD. Check both agencies when you are trying to locate a specific report. LSP crash reports are available online at lsp.org/services/crash-reports for $11.50, after a 15-day wait. Fatal crash reports require an in-person request after 60 days.

Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office

For incidents in unincorporated parts of Bossier Parish outside Bossier City limits, the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Office is the correct contact. The BPSO is at 204 Burt Boulevard, Benton, LA 71006. The main line is (318) 965-2203. Benton is the parish seat and is where the Sheriff's Office is headquartered, though BPSO deputies also cover areas close to Bossier City. If you are not sure whether your incident falls inside or outside the city, call both agencies to find out who filed the report.

Louisiana Public Records Act

Under La. R.S. 44:1, you have the right to inspect and copy records held by public agencies. BCPD must respond to any records request within three business days. If a record is denied, the department must provide a written explanation citing the specific exemption under La. R.S. 44:3. Common exemptions include active investigations, records identifying informants or undercover officers, juvenile records, and sexual offense reports.

Criminal History Records

Louisiana keeps criminal history records closed to the public under La. R.S. 15:587. BCPD cannot provide a full background check to a private individual who asks about another person. The Louisiana State Police BCII office handles those requests, and access is limited to authorized agencies and individuals checking their own records. The BCII is at 7919 Independence Blvd, Baton Rouge, LA 70806. Phone: (225) 925-6095. Hours: Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Fee: $36. You can review your own record under La. R.S. 15:588. See lsp.org/services/background-checks for more.

DOC Records and State Prisoners

If a Bossier City arrest led to a state prison sentence, the Louisiana Department of Corrections has inmate information available to the public. The DOC public records page at doc.la.gov includes an inmate lookup and information on DOC public records requests. State prisoners are no longer held locally, so DOC is the resource for tracking those individuals.
