Madison Parish Sex Offender Registry

Madison Parish sex offender records are searchable online through the iCrimeWatch portal maintained by the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office in Tallulah. The registry is public and free. This page covers how to search, who to contact, local registration rules, and how to report a possible violation in Madison Parish.

How to Search the Madison Parish Sex Offender Registry

Madison Parish uses the iCrimeWatch sex offender portal (AgencyID 54407) hosted directly through the sheriff's office. This gives you a local search tool specific to Madison Parish rather than relying only on the statewide system. You can search by name, address, or ZIP code. The map view shows pins for every registered offender in the parish, which is useful for checking areas around Tallulah or other parts of Madison Parish.

Each result in the iCrimeWatch portal shows the offender's name, current address, a photo, the offense they were convicted of, and their tier classification. The portal is tied to the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office database. The data reflects what the sheriff's office has on file as of the last update. If a record looks wrong or out of date, call the sheriff directly at (318) 574-1831 to ask about it.

You can also run a broader search through the Louisiana State Police sex offender registry. The LSP system covers all 64 parishes and works as a backup or confirmation tool. If you find someone in one system but not the other, that may indicate a recently processed update. Both tools are free and require no login.

The state police hotline is 1-800-858-0551, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CDT. This line handles name lookups, questions about registration timelines, and tips about possible non-compliance anywhere in Louisiana, including Madison Parish.

Madison Parish Sheriff's Office Contact and Registration

Sheriff Chad Ezell heads the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office. The main office is at 100 North Cedar Street, Courthouse Building, Room 3, Tallulah, LA 71282. The phone number is (318) 574-1831. The fax is (318) 574-5368. All sex offender registration in Madison Parish runs through this office. Offenders must appear in person to register. Mail or online-only registration is not accepted for the initial registration or for in-person update requirements.

When someone with a qualifying conviction moves to Madison Parish, they must report to the sheriff's office within 3 business days. That 3-day window starts the day they establish any presence in the parish, whether they have rented a place, are staying with family, or are living in a vehicle. Waiting until you have a permanent address is not allowed. You register with what you have on the day you arrive.

Changes to any registered information also restart that 3-day clock. A new address, a new job, a new vehicle, a new school enrollment, or a new email address each require a separate update within 3 business days. Missing that deadline is a felony under Louisiana law. It does not matter whether the change seems minor. The law treats every update the same way.

Offenders in Tallulah city limits may also need to register with Tallulah city police in addition to the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office and the Louisiana State Police. That triple-registration rule applies whenever an offender lives, works, or attends school in a city with its own police department.

The Madison Parish Sheriff's Office contact page lists current phone and address details for reaching the office in Tallulah for registration and registry questions. As the office states: "If you need further assistance, please feel free to give us a call at 318-574-1831 or you can fill out the contact form below."

The contact page for the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office confirms the office location at 100 North Cedar Street, Tallulah, and provides direct contact information for registration and compliance matters.

Note: For emergencies or active crimes, always call 911. The sheriff's office contact line is for non-emergency records and registration matters only.

Louisiana Sex Offender Laws in Madison Parish

Sex offender registration in Louisiana is set out in RS 15:540 and the statutes that follow. The law applies in every Louisiana parish, including Madison. Anyone convicted of a qualifying sex offense must register, whether the conviction happened in Louisiana or in another state. There is no exception for old convictions. If the offense qualifies under current law, registration is required regardless of when it occurred.

Louisiana uses a three-tier system. Tier I offenders register once a year and stay on the registry for 15 years. Tier II offenders check in every 6 months for 25 years. Tier III offenders have the most serious convictions and must register every 90 days for life. The tier is set at the time of sentencing and does not change based on behavior or time served.

Under RS 15:542, registrants must keep three separate agencies current at all times: the Louisiana State Police, the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office, and any city police department in a jurisdiction where they live, work, or attend school. Failing to register with even one of those agencies is a distinct felony.

The definitions for qualifying offenses and registrant obligations are found in RS 15:541. That statute also clarifies the public's right to access registry information. It notes that using registry data to harass, threaten, or stalk a registrant or their family is illegal. The registry exists for public safety awareness, not for retaliation.

What Madison Parish Registry Records Include

Records in the iCrimeWatch portal for Madison Parish show the offender's full legal name and any known aliases, their current residential address, date of birth, a recent photo, and a physical description. The conviction offense and the sentencing date are also listed. If the offender is employed or enrolled in school, the work address or school address appears as well.

The tier classification is visible in each record, so you can see whether the person is a Tier I annual registrant, a Tier II semi-annual registrant, or a Tier III lifetime registrant on a 90-day schedule. Vehicle information appears in some records depending on the tier and offense type. Online identifiers, including email addresses and social media usernames, are required to be disclosed and appear when on file.

The iCrimeWatch system also lets you sign up for email alerts. The service notifies you when a new offender registers within a set radius of any address you choose. This is free and does not require creating an account with the sheriff's office.

If you think a record is wrong, call the Madison Parish Sheriff's Office at (318) 574-1831 or the state police hotline at 1-800-858-0551. Address data in particular can lag a few days after an offender reports a change. Do not act on potentially outdated information without confirming the current status first.

Note: Registry records are public safety tools. They are not meant to facilitate harassment or threats. State law is clear that misuse of registry data can result in criminal charges.
