Bossier City Booking Records
Booking records in Bossier City are created when someone is processed into either the city jail or the parish jail. The record includes the person's name, charges, bond amount, and arrest details. Mugshots are also taken at booking.
Under Louisiana law, basic booking data is public information. The Louisiana Public Records Act (La. R.S. 44:1) makes most government records available to anyone. But some info stays private. Medical records, juvenile records, and social security numbers are not released to the public. Louisiana Revised Statute 15:574.12 spells out what stays confidential in the corrections system. Pre-sentence reports and internal disciplinary files fall into that protected category.
