Red River Parish Sex Offender Registry

Search registered sex offenders in Red River Parish, Louisiana through the iCrimeWatch portal maintained by the Red River Parish Sheriff's Office or through the Louisiana State Police statewide registry. Red River is a small, rural parish in northwest Louisiana, and the sheriff's office serves as the primary registration authority for the entire parish.

How to Search the Red River Parish Sex Offender Registry

The Red River Parish Sheriff's Office uses the iCrimeWatch platform to publish its local sex offender registry. You can search by name, address, or ZIP code. Each result shows a photo, the current registered address, the offense that triggered registration, the assigned tier, and current compliance status. The search tool is free and does not require you to log in or create an account.

The Louisiana State Police sex offender registry covers all 64 parishes and is a good complement to the local iCrimeWatch search. If an offender recently moved into Red River Parish from another parish, their record may appear in the statewide LSP database before it shows up in the local portal. Running both searches gives you the most current picture.

For phone inquiries, the LSP hotline is 1-800-858-0551. It is staffed weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM CDT. You can ask staff to look up a specific person by name and confirm their current registration status and tier. The Red River Parish Sheriff's Office at 318-932-4221 can also answer questions about locally registered individuals.

Because Red River is a small rural parish, the number of registered offenders is lower than in larger parishes. The iCrimeWatch portal still provides a searchable, up-to-date list, and cross-checking with the LSP statewide registry ensures you do not miss anyone who registered at the state level but whose local record has not yet been updated.

Red River Parish Sheriff's Office

The Red River Parish Sheriff's Office is located at 615 East Carroll Street, Coushatta, LA 71019. The main phone number is 318-932-4221. The fax is 318-932-5754. The office handles all sex offender registrations for the parish, including new arrivals, address changes, and periodic check-ins. More information is available at redriverparishsheriff.org.

Any sex offender who moves into Red River Parish, is released from custody to a Red River address, or changes any registered information must report to the sheriff's office within 3 business days. That 3-day window applies to each change separately. Someone who updates their home address and then later changes jobs must report both updates within 3 business days of each event occurring.

The sheriff's office coordinates with the Louisiana State Police to keep both the local iCrimeWatch portal and the statewide database current. When a new registration is processed or an existing record is updated, that information flows to the LSP system. There can be a short processing lag, but both systems should reflect the same information within a few days of any change.

The Red River Parish Sheriff's Office also conducts periodic compliance checks. Deputies may visit the address on file to confirm the offender is living where they say they are. If they find a discrepancy, the matter is referred for investigation and potential criminal charges under Louisiana's registration statutes.

Louisiana Sex Offender Laws Governing Red River Parish

The legal foundation for sex offender registration in Red River Parish is set entirely by state law. The core statute is RS 15:540, which creates the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Law. This statute applies uniformly to all 64 Louisiana parishes. It establishes who must register, what they must disclose, how long registration continues, and the criminal penalties for failing to comply. There is no local variation in Red River Parish.

Tier levels are set out in RS 15:541. Louisiana uses three tiers based solely on the offense committed. Tier I offenders register for 15 years and check in once per year. Tier II offenders register for 25 years and must check in every six months. Tier III offenders are on the registry for life and check in every 90 days. The tier assigned at sentencing does not change based on behavior after release.

The specific information required from each registrant is listed in RS 15:542. Each offender must provide their full legal name and all aliases, current home address, employer name and address, school enrollment if applicable, vehicle information, online usernames and email addresses, a physical description, and a current photograph. All of this data is entered into the public registry and searchable by any member of the public at no cost.

What the Red River Parish Registry Shows

A search of the Red River Parish iCrimeWatch portal returns records that include the offender's full name and known aliases, a current photograph, their registered home address, and any employer or school address on file. The record shows the specific offense and the tier assigned. The date of the most recent check-in is listed, which lets you see how recently the information was verified by the sheriff's office.

Because Red River is a small parish, search results will typically show a smaller number of registrants than you would find in larger parishes like Caddo or Bossier. This does not mean the search is less useful. The registry is accurate for the offenders who are registered there, and the statewide LSP search covers anyone who may have moved into the parish recently.

The Louisiana Department of Corrections also maintains a registry page for individuals under active DOC supervision. Someone released from a state facility to a Red River Parish address will appear in the DOC system before the local sheriff has processed the registration. Checking the DOC registry is a useful step if you are looking for someone recently released from state custody.

Checking the DOC registry alongside the local iCrimeWatch portal and the statewide LSP system gives you the most complete set of information for Red River Parish.

Each of these is a criminal offense under Louisiana law. In a small parish like Red River, the sheriff's office is well positioned to follow up on reports quickly, since the community and the offender population are both relatively small.
