Marrero Police Records
Marrero police records are maintained by the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office, which provides all law enforcement services to this unincorporated westbank community. Marrero has no city government and no city police department, so any incident report, arrest record, or law enforcement document from Marrero comes from JPSO. This page explains how to find and request those records.
Marrero Police Records Quick Facts
No City Police Department in Marrero
Marrero sits on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Jefferson Parish. It is not an incorporated city. There is no Marrero mayor, no Marrero city council, and most importantly for this page, no Marrero Police Department. All law enforcement comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. JPSO deputies patrol the area, respond to calls, and file all incident and arrest reports. If you need a record from an incident in Marrero, JPSO is where you go.
People sometimes get confused because Marrero functions like a town in many practical ways. But legally, it is an unincorporated community, which means it falls under parish jurisdiction for all government services. Any police report from Marrero is an JPSO report, filed and stored in the Jefferson Parish system.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office headquarters is at 1233 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, LA 70058. Harvey is close to Marrero on the west bank, which makes in-person visits manageable for Marrero residents. The main line is (504) 364-5300, and the department website is at jpso.com. JPSO covers both the east bank (which includes Metairie and Kenner) and the west bank (which includes Marrero and Terrytown).
To request a record from JPSO, contact the Records Division directly. Provide the incident date, the location in Marrero, any case number you were given, and the names of people involved. Valid photo ID is required for requests tied to specific individuals. Processing times vary, and fees may apply depending on the record type and length. Call the main line at (504) 364-5300 and ask to be routed to Records before making an in-person trip.

Online Public Records Portal
Jefferson Parish provides an online public records portal at jeffparish.gov/420/Public-Records-Request. This portal lets you submit formal records requests to JPSO and other Jefferson Parish agencies without having to visit in person. You can track the status of your request and receive updates when the record is ready or if additional information is needed. The portal is a good option if you need to document the request in writing or if you are handling the matter remotely.
Louisiana's Public Records Act at La. R.S. 44:1 sets a three-business-day response window. If JPSO denies access to a record, they must explain in writing why, citing the specific exemption under La. R.S. 44:3 that applies. Active investigations, minor victim cases, sexual offense reports, and undercover-related records are the most common exemptions.
Criminal History Records
Louisiana keeps criminal history records out of the public record under La. R.S. 15:587. JPSO cannot give you a full criminal background report on another person. The Louisiana State Police BCII handles those requests, and access is limited to authorized users and individuals checking their own records. To get your own criminal history, contact LSP BCII 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. Cost: $36. Your right to review your own file: La. R.S. 15:588. More at lsp.org/services/background-checks.
Crash Reports for Marrero Accidents
Traffic accident reports for Marrero crashes are part of the Louisiana State Police traffic records system. Online copies cost $11.50 and are available after 15 days. Fatal crash reports are not released online and require in-person request after 60 days. Use the search at lsp.org/services/crash-reports. You can search by last name plus date and street, or by report number. The LSP Traffic Records Unit page at lsp.org has additional details on the system.
DOC Records
For cases where someone from Marrero was convicted and sent to a state correctional facility, the Louisiana Department of Corrections has inmate records available. Visit doc.la.gov for inmate search tools and public information contacts. These records cover people in state custody and are separate from local jail records held by JPSO.
