LaSalle Parish Sex Offender Registry

Search registered sex offenders in LaSalle Parish, Louisiana through the statewide Louisiana State Police registry. The LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office, led by Sheriff Scott Franklin, handles local registration for all offenders living, working, or attending school in the parish. Records are public under Louisiana law, and anyone can search at no cost to check a neighborhood, a specific street, or a name in the Jena area.

How to Search Sex Offenders in LaSalle Parish

LaSalle Parish does not have a local search portal. The primary tool for residents is the Louisiana State Police sex offender registry. You can search by name, address, or ZIP code. Results show a photo, current address, offense type, and registration status for each listed person. The statewide database covers all 64 parishes, so one search can catch offenders who live in LaSalle but work or attend school in a nearby parish.

To search LaSalle Parish specifically, use Jena (ZIP code 71342) as your starting point. Other communities in the parish include Olla (71465), Tullos (71479), and Winnfield is a nearby town in Winn Parish. Searching by ZIP code for each community gives you a more complete picture of offenders throughout the parish rather than just checking one city.

You can call the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office at 318-992-2151 if you need help with a search or want to ask about a specific person. The office is located at 703 First St, Jena, LA 71342. Staff can confirm current registration status during normal business hours and can take reports if you believe someone has failed to register or given a false address.

For the most current status on a specific offender, calling the sheriff's office directly is more reliable than an online search alone. Online records can lag a few days behind when an offender submits a change of address or employment information.

LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office

The LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office is located at 703 First St, Jena, LA 71342. The main phone number is 318-992-2151. Sheriff Scott Franklin oversees the office and all sex offender registration operations for the parish.

When an offender registers in LaSalle Parish, they must provide their full legal name, current home address, employer name and address, vehicle information, phone numbers, and all online identifiers including email addresses and social media accounts. They also submit to a photo and fingerprinting. This information is forwarded to the Louisiana State Police for inclusion in the statewide registry.

Offenders who live in Jena must register with the Louisiana State Police, the LaSalle Parish Sheriff's Office, and the Jena Police Department. Offenders living in unincorporated parts of the parish only need to register with the sheriff and state police. Each missed registration is a separate criminal offense under Louisiana law.

LaSalle Parish is a rural parish in central Louisiana. The small total population means a lower overall count of registered offenders compared to larger urban parishes, but it does not mean the registry goes unmonitored. The sheriff's office actively works with the Louisiana State Police to keep registrations current and to investigate non-compliance reports.

If you suspect an offender in LaSalle Parish has given a false address or failed to check in on time, report it to the sheriff at 318-992-2151 or to the Louisiana State Police hotline at 1-800-858-0551. Both agencies can take action to investigate and, if needed, make an arrest for failure to register.

Louisiana Sex Offender Registration Laws

Sex offender registration in Louisiana is governed by RS 15:540 and companion statutes. The law applies to anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense in Louisiana or to anyone who moves into the state after a conviction elsewhere. It sets out who must register, what they must disclose, and how long they remain on the registry.

Under RS 15:541, the state uses three tiers. Tier I offenders register for 15 years and check in with law enforcement once a year. Tier II offenders register for 25 years and verify their information every six months. Tier III offenders, convicted of the most serious crimes, must register for life and check in every 90 days. The tier is set by the court at sentencing based on the offense type and the person's prior record.

Under RS 15:542, every registrant must report any change of address, employer, school, vehicle, phone number, or online account within 3 business days. The deadline is firm. A move across town, a new job, or even a new email address must be reported within three business days or the person faces additional felony charges. This rule applies in LaSalle Parish the same as anywhere in the state.

The public has a legal right to access registry information. However, Louisiana law also makes clear that using registry data to threaten, harass, or intimidate a registrant or their family is unlawful and can result in criminal prosecution or civil liability. The registry is a safety resource, not permission to act against an individual.

What the Registry Includes

The Louisiana State Police registry lists the following information for each registered sex offender in LaSalle Parish:

• Full legal name and known aliases
• Current residential address
• Employer name and address (if applicable)
• School name and address (if enrolled)
• Offense type and conviction date
• Photo and physical description
• Vehicle registration information
• Tier classification (I, II, or III)

Not every field will be complete on every record. Offenders who are homeless may have a general area listed rather than a specific street address. Some records for older or out-of-state convictions may have limited offense detail. Calling the sheriff at 318-992-2151 can fill in any gaps a public search leaves behind.

The registry updates when offenders check in or report changes. There can be a short lag between when a change is filed and when it appears on the public website. For the most current status on a specific person, contacting the sheriff's office directly gives you the most reliable answer.
