How to Search Sex Offenders in Beauregard Parish

Beauregard Parish does not operate its own registry portal. The main public search tool is the Louisiana State Police sex offender registry. You can search by name, address, ZIP code, or map location to find all offenders currently registered in Beauregard Parish. Each result shows the offender's current address, photograph, offense type, tier classification, and compliance status. The database is free to use and available around the clock.

The LSP registry page shown below is where your search starts. When you filter by Beauregard Parish, results are limited to offenders whose registered home, work, or school address falls within the parish.

The registry is updated as offenders complete scheduled check-ins or report changes. If you think a listing is out of date, call the LSP hotline at 1-800-858-0551 between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM CDT. Staff can verify current status and escalate if needed.

For a quick phone-based check without using the online tool, call the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office at 337-463-3281 during business hours. Staff can look up an individual by name and confirm their registration status in the parish.

Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office Registration Process

The Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office is led by Sheriff Mark Herford. The office is located at 120 So. Stewart St., DeRidder, LA 70634. The mailing address is P.O. Box 280, DeRidder, LA 70634. The main line is 337-463-3281 and the fax number is 337-463-9952. The sheriff's office handles all sex offender registration activity for the parish and coordinates directly with Louisiana State Police to keep the statewide database current.

Every sex offender who lives, works, or attends school in Beauregard Parish must register with three agencies within 3 business days: the Louisiana State Police, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office, and the local police department for their city or town if one exists. The 3-day clock starts on the date of release from custody, arrival in Louisiana, or the date of any address change. This is a hard deadline, and missing it is a separate criminal offense under state law.

Beauregard Parish borders Texas to the west and has a mix of rural communities and the city of DeRidder. Most registration activity flows through the sheriff's office since many residents live outside incorporated city limits. The sheriff's office is the primary local contact for all registration-related questions.

Louisiana Registration Laws That Apply in Beauregard Parish

Sex offender registration in Beauregard Parish is governed by RS 15:540, the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Law. This statute applies uniformly across all Louisiana parishes. It defines who must register, what records go into the public database, the check-in schedule, and what penalties apply for non-compliance. Beauregard Parish does not add local requirements on top of the state law.

Tier assignments are made under RS 15:541. Tier I covers lower-tier offenses and requires 15 years of registration with one annual check-in. Tier II applies to more serious offenses and requires 25 years with a check-in every six months. Tier III applies to the most serious offenses and requires lifetime registration with a check-in every 90 days. The tier is set at the time of conviction and does not change based on behavior after release.

What must be reported at registration is listed in RS 15:542. Required items include full legal name and aliases, date of birth, current home address, work address, school address if enrolled, vehicle description, online identifiers, physical description, and a current photograph. All of this information goes into the LSP statewide registry where the public can access it for free.

If you have questions about which offenses trigger registration or how the tier system works, call the Beauregard Parish Sheriff's Office at 337-463-3281 or the LSP hotline at 1-800-858-0551.

What Beauregard Parish Sex Offender Records Contain

Each listing in the Beauregard Parish section of the LSP registry shows the offender's full legal name and any known aliases, a current photograph, the registered home address, employer information if applicable, and any school they attend. The record includes the specific offense that triggered registration, the tier assigned, and current compliance status. You can also typically see the date of the most recent check-in, which tells you how recently the entry was verified.

For offenders recently released from Louisiana state custody, the Department of Corrections maintains a separate registry. The Louisiana DOC sex offender registry page covers individuals under active supervision and those still in the state prison system. If someone was released from a DOC facility to a Beauregard Parish address, they have 3 days to register locally, so there can be a brief window before they show up in the sheriff's system.

Checking both the LSP statewide registry and the DOC page gives the most complete picture of who is currently registered in Beauregard Parish.

Reporting Beauregard Parish Sex Offender Non-Compliance

Written reports can be sent to P.O. Box 66614, Box A-6, Baton Rouge, LA 70896. Anonymous reports are accepted at all contact points.

Violations that should be reported include failing to register within 3 days of a move or release, providing a false address, missing a check-in, or not disclosing a new employer or school. Each of these is a criminal offense. The LSP Troop page at lsp.org/about/troop-information identifies the state police troop serving Beauregard Parish so you can reach the correct enforcement zone.

The LSP homepage also posts public notices of arrests related to registration violations.
