Find St. Francisville Criminal Records

Checking Criminal History in St. Francisville

St. Francisville has no all-in-one criminal-record portal. The event type and originating agency decide where to begin. A town police report, jail booking, district-court case, and state fingerprint history are separate records, even when they concern one incident.

1. For an incident handled by St. Francisville Police, ask the Town Clerk for the department record.
2. Give the event date, location, incident number if known, record category, and desired format.
3. For current local custody, check the WFPSO Jail Bookings log and call the detention center to confirm charges.
4. For a filed prosecution, open the West Feliciana Clerk's Public Records Search and select VERDICT CRIMINAL.
5. For your own statewide fingerprint history, use LSP BCII's Right to Review process rather than a city request.

This sequence avoids asking the jail for a police narrative or asking town staff for a court judgment. Each custodian can answer only for its own file.

Prosperity Street Is St. Francisville's Records Hub

The West Feliciana Courthouse at 4785 Prosperity Street is the practical center for filed criminal records. The Clerk of Court works in the courthouse basement, while Sheriff administration uses the same street address. The detention operation is nearby but separate at 4834 Feliciana Street.

This compact arrangement can hide an important division. The Clerk certifies court records. Sheriff administration handles agency business. Detention staff answer booking and custody questions. A requester should name the desired product, such as a case index, minute entry, judgment, certified copy, incident report, or booking record.

St. Francisville Police Department Records

The St. Francisville Police Department provides round-the-clock patrol inside town. Its office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. Call 911 for a crime in progress or emergency; call 225-635-4177 for nonemergency matters or suspicious behavior.

The town's department directory routes all departmental public-record requests to the Town Clerk at 225-635-3688, clerk@townofstf.com, or P.O. Box 400, St. Francisville. No dedicated police report form, fee schedule, report portal, or police app was found. That absence is not a reason to use the Sheriff for an SFPD-created report.

The assigned town image shows the official department and records-routing source.

The town page is the primary source for current office contacts and should be checked before sending a request.

Requesting a St. Francisville Incident Report

Submit an SFPD records request to the Town Clerk. Include requester contact information, the event date and location, an incident number if available, the type of record sought, and the preferred format. The town did not publish required markers, a report price, or a standard turnaround in the researched materials.

If a parish deputy handled the event outside town limits, use the WFPSO records route. If a Louisiana State Police trooper investigated a state-highway crash or made the arrest, request the LSP-created report through LSP. An event at Angola may instead create a DPS&C or LSP record. A later jail booking does not transfer ownership of the original investigative report.

St. Francisville Arrests and Bookings

No official city jail was found. WFPSO books local arrestees at the West Feliciana Parish Detention Center on Feliciana Street. The official Jail Bookings page supplies dated entries and a link to the current jail roster. Its innocence notice matters because a booking reflects allegations, not a conviction.

For exact current charges, call 225-784-3158. The jail does not provide court dates for security reasons. Once the district attorney files a prosecution, the Clerk's record becomes the right source for the filed count, minutes, judgment, and disposition. Booking language may differ from the charge that reaches court.

Bond is set through the Twentieth Judicial District Court process. Cash, surety, and property bonds involve distinct steps. A person seeking case-specific bond information should use the jail and court contacts, not infer it from a dated booking line.

Search St. Francisville Cases in VERDICT CRIMINAL

The West Feliciana Clerk directs users to Public Records Search. In the vendor screen, use the upper-left database dropdown and select VERDICT CRIMINAL. That choice searches the Clerk's criminal index for Twentieth Judicial District Court cases. It is not a separate St. Francisville municipal docket.

Use a legal name and compare case context when names are common. A known case number is stronger. If the index lacks an image, take the case identifier to the Clerk and ask for a particular item. Regular copies are $1 per page; certification is $10; a minute extract is $15; and the Clerk lists a $10-per-name local criminal background check.

The vendor states that a current desktop version of Chrome, Edge, or Firefox is required. If the application fails, call the Clerk at 225-635-3794 or visit during weekday counter hours. Browser failure does not mean that the record does not exist.

Municipal Court Records in St. Francisville

No independent St. Francisville municipal-court criminal lookup was located. The Twentieth Judicial District Court has original criminal jurisdiction in West Feliciana Parish. Fine-only ordinance or traffic custodianship should be confirmed with town staff and the Clerk rather than assigned to an invented municipal court.

Absence from VERDICT CRIMINAL does not prove that no town citation, warrant, or unresolved event exists. Ask the town and Clerk which custodian holds a fine-only ordinance or traffic matter.

St. Francisville Is the Parish's Only City Guide

St. Francisville is West Feliciana Parish's only incorporated municipality. The 2020 Decennial Census counted 1,557 residents. Angola, Tunica, Bains, Wakefield, and Weyanoke are not incorporated cities, so they do not receive copied city-record pages.

The town sits on Mississippi River bluffs about thirty miles north of Baton Rouge. Its compact historic core contrasts with a rural parish of about 403 square miles extending north to Angola. That geography explains why town patrol, parish patrol, and state-institution records can require different custodians even when all use a St. Francisville mailing context.

Where St. Francisville Records Go

An SFPD incident starts as a town police record. If an arrest follows, WFPSO creates a detention booking. The district attorney then decides what to file, and the Clerk opens the 20th JDC case. Fingerprints and later disposition data can enter the LSP BCII criminal-history network.

Record flow: St. Francisville Police › West Feliciana Parish booking and courts › LSP BCII

The flow is not instant. Recent activity may appear first in the booking log. The filed charge appears later in VERDICT CRIMINAL, and a fingerprint-based state record may update on another schedule. For deeper parishwide routing, use the main West Feliciana Parish criminal history resource.

When LSP Made the St. Francisville Arrest

A booking at the parish detention center identifies the custody event, not necessarily the author of the investigative file. For a state-highway stop, crash, or arrest handled by a trooper, request the agency report through Louisiana State Police. Check WFPSO for booking status and the Clerk for any later filed case.

The same rule applies to DPS&C activity at Angola. Identify the officer and agency from known paperwork before filing a request. This small step prevents a town request from being sent to an office that never created the record.

Public Access Rules in St. Francisville

The Louisiana Public Records Law generally allows inspection and copying of public records, subject to exemptions. Police records can be limited while an investigation or prosecution remains active. Juvenile, sealed, expunged, victim-sensitive, and protected personal information can also be withheld or redacted.

Court access has its own boundaries. A public index is not the same as a certified judgment, and an expunged record is removed from public access while remaining available to agencies authorized by law. Ask for the exact record and let the custodian state any exemption.

Language Help for St. Francisville Court Records

The 20th JDC website provides Spanish and Vietnamese language-service links. A person who needs an interpreter should contact the court or Clerk before visiting and state the case, hearing, language, and requested accommodation.

No town-specific interpreter protocol was located. Do not assume that automatic counter interpretation is available. Advance contact gives staff time to explain the court's process and avoids confusing language help with a request for legal advice.

Bring or provide the case number when possible. State whether the need concerns a scheduled hearing, help locating the correct file, or an accommodation for obtaining copies. The Clerk can explain its own record-access steps, while legal strategy and advice remain outside the records counter's role.
