Terrytown Police Records Quick Facts
No City Police in Terrytown
Terrytown is an unincorporated community in the westbank portion of Jefferson Parish, located between Marrero and the Crescent City Connection bridge. Like other large unincorporated areas in Jefferson Parish, it has no city government, no city hall, and no city police department. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office handles all law enforcement. JPSO deputies patrol Terrytown, respond to calls, and file all incident reports. Those reports are JPSO records, held in the Jefferson Parish system.
If you have been looking for a Terrytown Police Department and come up empty, that is expected. There simply is no such agency. For any police record from Terrytown, JPSO and the Jefferson Parish records system are the correct place to start.
Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office is headquartered at 1233 Westbank Expressway, Harvey, LA 70058. Harvey is the same westbank corridor as Terrytown, so the main JPSO office is reasonably close to the community it serves. The main line is (504) 364-5300. The department website is at jpso.com. JPSO covers both the eastbank and westbank of Jefferson Parish, so the main office serves a large area.
To request a record from JPSO, contact the Records Division. Provide the incident date, the specific location in Terrytown, the case number if you received one, and the names of involved parties. Valid photo ID is required when requesting records tied to a specific individual. Fees may apply. Call (504) 364-5300 to get routed to Records and confirm availability and fees before your visit.

Jefferson Parish Online Records Portal
Jefferson Parish operates an online public records portal at jeffparish.gov/420/Public-Records-Request. The portal accepts public records requests for JPSO and other Jefferson Parish agencies and lets you track the status of your request online. Submitting through the portal creates a documented record of your request, which is useful if you need to follow up later or if a dispute arises about whether the request was received. The portal is available without creating an account, though creating one makes tracking easier.
Under La. R.S. 44:1, Jefferson Parish must respond to public records requests within three business days. If JPSO denies access to a record, they must give you a written explanation citing the relevant exemption under La. R.S. 44:3. The most common grounds for withholding include active investigation records, juvenile records, sexual offense reports, and records that could identify informants.
Criminal History Records
Full criminal history is not public record in Louisiana under La. R.S. 15:587. JPSO cannot give you a criminal history report on another person. That information is held at the state level by the Louisiana State Police BCII. Individuals can check their own records. Contact 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 total. You can review your own file under La. R.S. 15:588. More at lsp.org/services/background-checks.
Crash Reports
Traffic accident reports for Terrytown crashes go through the Louisiana State Police crash report system. Online copies cost $11.50 and are available 15 days after the accident. Fatal crash reports are not released online; those require in-person request after 60 days. Search the LSP crash report system at lsp.org/services/crash-reports. Use the report number or search by last name, date, and street name. The traffic records unit page at lsp.org has more information.
State Incarceration Records
For cases where someone arrested in Terrytown was ultimately convicted and sent to state prison, the Louisiana Department of Corrections has inmate information available. Visit doc.la.gov for inmate lookup tools and DOC public records contacts. This information is separate from the JPSO records system.
