St. Landry Parish Active Warrants
No official St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office active-warrant search database was confirmed in the accessible sheriff website during research. The sheriff site did link to a sex-offender search, but the inspected official navigation did not expose a searchable active-warrant portal. That is why a careful St. Landry Parish warrant lookup should use confirmed channels: sheriff phone routing, sheriff public-record request email, jail custody lookup, the Clerk of Court for underlying criminal cases, city-court contacts for city or traffic bench warrants, and the DA where prosecution or diversion status matters.
The sheriff homepage remains the primary official law-enforcement starting point. It identifies the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Bobby J. Guidroz, and links to corrections, civil/tax/traffic, sex-offender, and public-safety resources. The St. Landry Parish Sheriff's Office homepage is the official source to confirm current sheriff navigation before calling or sending a request.
Because the research did not verify an active-warrant database, treat the homepage as a routing source, not as a standalone warrant search result.
St. Landry Parish Warrant Types
Warrant language can vary by court and case type. In St. Landry Parish, district-court criminal files, city-court traffic matters, bond conditions, support enforcement, and investigative records can each produce a different kind of warrant or hold. The 27th JDC local rules also show that traffic, non-support, protective-order, and juvenile matters have assignment rules that differ from ordinary random allotment. That helps explain why a missed city-court date may not be found through the same route as a felony arrest warrant.
- Arrest warrant - a court order authorizing arrest based on probable cause.
- Bench warrant - a judge-issued warrant, often tied to failure to appear, contempt, or failure to comply.
- Capias - a Louisiana custody order or warrant directing law enforcement to take a person into custody.
- Search warrant - authority to search a place, item, or data source, often sealed while active.
- Bond-violation warrant - a warrant that may follow violation of release or bond conditions.
- Fugitive hold - a hold for another jurisdiction that may involve transfer or extradition.
Note: A sex-offender registry search is not the same as an active-warrant search, even when the sheriff links both types of public-safety resources.
How to Search St. Landry Parish Warrants
The best search sequence depends on the suspected warrant source. For a district-court criminal case, use ClerkConnect if subscribed or call the Clerk Court Division at 337-942-5606 ext. 5113. For sheriff records, call 337-948-6516 or send legal, FOIA, PRR, or PIR requests to pir@slpsheriff.com. For custody status, use the St. Landry jail roster or call the jail at 337-948-5804. For city or traffic bench warrants, call the issuing city court or marshal.
- Confirm the possible source: sheriff, 27th Judicial District Court, Opelousas City Court, Eunice City Court, DA, or jail custody.
- Use the sheriff phone line for law-enforcement routing and the jail phone if the person may already be in custody.
- Check ClerkConnect or call the Clerk Court Division when the warrant is tied to a district-court criminal case.
- Call Opelousas or Eunice city-court contacts when the issue is a city citation, ordinance matter, or city traffic case.
- Ask whether bond is set, whether a judge must recall the warrant, and whether a court appearance is required.
The sheriff contact page is important because it lists both the public safety complex and the dedicated public-record request route. The sheriff contact page says legal requests, FOIA requests, or PRR/PIRs should be sent to the listed public-record email.
Use that email for record requests, but urgent warrant-risk questions should be handled through counsel or the relevant court, not through a delayed public-record request.
St. Landry Parish Warrant Search Fields
The research did not confirm a live official St. Landry active-warrant database, so no public search-field screen should be represented as verified. The table below reflects the actual research finding: common warrant fields were not verified in a local official database. For real-world requests, provide the person's full name, date of birth if known, case number if known, issuing court if known, and the reason the warrant is suspected.
| Field Label | Type | Verified in Local Active-Warrant Database | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Text | No | Useful for sheriff, court, jail, or city-court phone/request checks. |
| Date of birth | Date | No | Helpful for identity matching, but no local portal field was confirmed. |
| Case number | Text | No | Use with ClerkConnect or Clerk Court Division if tied to a court file. |
| Issuing court | Selection or request detail | No | Ask whether the warrant came from district court, city court, or another jurisdiction. |
What St. Landry Parish Warrant Records Show
No official active-warrant result sample was verified for St. Landry Parish. A warrant record may include identifiers, charge or reason, issuing court, warrant date, bond, or status in some systems, but those fields should not be stated as confirmed local display fields. The safer approach is to ask the issuing court or sheriff which fields can be released and whether active, sealed, juvenile, or investigative limits apply.
| Field | Research Status |
|---|---|
| Name | Not verified in an official active-warrant database. |
| Gender, race, age, or physical details | Not verified in an official active-warrant database. |
| Issuing court | Not verified in a live St. Landry warrant database. |
| Case number | Not verified as a public warrant-result field. |
| Charge or reason | Not verified in an official active-warrant database. |
| Bond amount | Not verified as a public warrant-result field. |
| Warrant date or status | Not verified in an official active-warrant database. |
For court-related warrants, the underlying case may show more reliable context than a simple wanted list. Minute entries, bond orders, arraignment status, and failure-to-appear entries are court records, not sheriff website entries.
St. Landry Parish Sheriff App
The sheriff app is a confirmed public-safety channel, but the research did not confirm an app-based active-warrant database from the store descriptions. The app listings advertise crime reporting, tips, public-safety news, and other interactive features. The sheriff contact page also tells residents to download the app to report crimes electronically. A launch source mentioned inmates, inmate funds, fines, and resources, but warrant search was not verified as an app feature.
The Google Play listing for the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's app identifies the publisher as OCV, LLC and describes public-safety features.
Use the app for the public-safety functions it advertises, then verify warrant status through the sheriff, court, clerk, jail, or city-court channels.
The Apple App Store listing for the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's app identifies St. Landry Parish Sheriff as the developer and shows the app as an official mobile channel.
Store listings also warn that the app is not for emergencies. Emergency or immediate safety issues should go through emergency channels.
St. Landry Parish City-Court Warrants
St. Landry Parish warrant checks can fail if every question is routed to the district court. The Clerk's official city-court page lists Opelousas City Court / Ward 1 and Eunice City Court / Ward 6. City or ward-level traffic, ordinance, bench-warrant, and marshal issues may be handled there instead of through a district-court criminal file. Opelousas lists Judge Shaunn Caillier-Harden at 337-948-2570 ext. 5100, City Marshal Paul Mouton at 337-948-2577 ext. 5119, and Assistant City Marshal Easton Shelvin at 337-948-2577 ext. 5118. Eunice lists Judge M. Terrance Hoychick at 337-457-6535 and City Marshal Terry Darbonne at 337-457-6580.
| Channel | Use It For | Contact From Research |
|---|---|---|
| 27th JDC / Clerk Court Division | Felony, district-court criminal, bond, or court-file warrant context | 337-942-5606 ext. 5113 |
| Opelousas City Court / Marshal | Ward 1 city, traffic, ordinance, or bench-warrant questions | Judge ext. 5100; marshal ext. 5119 |
| Eunice City Court / Marshal | Ward 6 city, traffic, ordinance, or bench-warrant questions | Judge 337-457-6535; marshal 337-457-6580 |
| District Attorney | Prosecution, felony, traffic, diversion, or support-enforcement questions | Felony 337-948-0551; traffic 337-948-0531 |
Resolve a St. Landry Parish Warrant
Do not rely only on social media, unofficial wanted pages, or paid people-search sites. Confirm warrant status with the sheriff, the issuing court, the Clerk Court Division, or an attorney. If the person is already arrested, use the St. Landry Parish jail roster or jail phone. Ask whether bond is set, whether a court appearance is required, whether the warrant can be recalled only by a judge, and whether any related charge is pending, dismissed, or resolved.
Important: A person who may have an active warrant should speak with counsel before appearing at a jail, court, or sheriff office.
For district-court cases, warrant context may appear in criminal minutes, bond orders, or failure-to-appear entries. For city-court matters, the city judge or marshal may be the fastest source. For child-support or non-support issues, the 27th JDC local rules show those matters have special assignment treatment, and DA support enforcement may also be relevant.
Restricted St. Landry Parish Warrant Records
Some warrant records are not public while active. Search warrants may be sealed to protect an investigation. Juvenile matters are restricted under Louisiana Children's Code art. 412 except traffic violations and authorized disclosures. Expunged records are removed from public access under Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure art. 971, though they are not destroyed. Federal warrants and out-of-parish holds may also sit outside local St. Landry sheriff or clerk records.
Note: A missing public warrant result should be treated as inconclusive when no official active-warrant database has been confirmed.
