Iberville Police Records Quick Facts
Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office
The Iberville Parish Sheriff's Office is located at 59605 Bayou Road, Plaquemine, LA 70764. Their main phone number is (225) 687-5100. Visit the Iberville Sheriff's website for current service information and office updates. The Sheriff's Office provides law enforcement across the parish and holds local incident records for criminal and traffic matters.
To get a copy of a police report, start by calling the office. They can tell you exactly what documentation to include and whether any fee applies for your specific record type. Iberville Parish does not have a public online portal for report requests, so requests are accepted in person or by written submission through the mail. Bring a valid photo ID if visiting in person. If mailing, include a clear description of the incident, your contact information, and a copy of your ID.
If the incident you are asking about involves an open investigation, the report may not be available right away. Louisiana's La. R.S. 44:3 allows agencies to withhold records related to active criminal proceedings. Once the case concludes, the records generally become accessible through a standard public records request under La. R.S. 44:1, which requires agencies to respond within three business days.

Louisiana Criminal History: Closed State Rules
Louisiana classifies detailed criminal history records as restricted under La. R.S. 15:587. The general public cannot access another person's full criminal history through the state system. Only authorized agencies such as law enforcement and select licensed entities have access to that data. This is not a local Iberville rule. It applies statewide and affects every parish.
What is open to the public are court records. Those show filed charges, case outcomes, and related court activity. They are available at the Clerk of Court and are a useful way to review public legal proceedings without needing special authorization. Court records and criminal history records are different things, and it helps to understand that distinction before you start a search.
If you want to check your own criminal record, La. R.S. 15:588 gives you that right. Visit the Louisiana State Police BCII at 7919 Independence Blvd, Baton Rouge. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Call (225) 925-6095 to confirm what you need to bring. The fee is $36 total, which includes a $31 base fee plus a $5 technology fee. Full details are at the LSP background checks page.

The IBC FAQ page also covers the Internet Background Check portal used by authorized organizations.
