Need Official Warrant Information?
Here is where the questions most people ask about Jefferson Parish should go:
- Whether a warrant exists: contact the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office Warrants Processing line, which can confirm a sheriff-held process by name and date of birth
- A bench warrant from a missed date: contact the court that set the case, which may be First Parish Court, Second Parish Court, or a city or justice court, because that court issued and holds the process
- Clearing a warrant: speak with a licensed Louisiana attorney and the issuing court about a recall, a surrender, or a bond
- An arrest warrant tied to a charge: the issuing court sets the offense and the bond, and the sheriff's office serves the process
For a process held at the parish level, the first counter is the sheriff's warrants desk: JPSO Central Records and Warrants, 1233 Westbank Expressway, Building A, Harvey, LA 70058, 504-363-5580, with the records division reachable at 504-363-5590. For a felony or district file, the criminal records office of the Jefferson Parish Clerk of Court sits in the Donelon Courthouse at 200 Derbigny Street in Gretna and can be reached at 504-364-2992. Parish traffic and misdemeanor questions go to First Parish Court at 924 David Drive in Metairie, 504-736-8900, or Second Parish Court at 100 Huey P. Long Avenue in Gretna, 504-364-2800. Confirm current hours before visiting, because a court counter may close earlier than the main line.
