Outstanding Warrants in Caddo County
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office active warrant list is the biggest public window on outstanding warrants in the area. Caddo County readers should read each entry carefully. It means a Caddo court or agency has authorized an arrest, and the warrant has not been served, recalled, or cleared. Two limits matter. Fugitives wanted by other agencies in the parish do not appear there, so a clean result covers one Caddo office rather than all of Caddo Parish. And the issuing Caddo court, not the list, decides whether a warrant still stands. The Caddo County bench warrant or arrest warrant you care about may live in a court file the roster never touches.
What the Caddo Warrant Filter Misses
Caddo County searchers get one tool on the active warrant list. It is an alphabet selector for the first letter of a last name. Nothing else. There is no public search by warrant number, court, case number, date of birth, charge, city, or date range.
- Last, first, and middle name columns, plus a warrant date, age, and sex.
- A city or ZIP, height, weight, and a photograph where the Caddo agency supplies them.
- No field for the issuing Caddo court, the charge, or the warrant number.
The Caddo County Active Warrant List
The office treats the list as an agency display, not a court index. Names go up once a Caddo warrant exists and come down when the agency removes them, so it behaves more like an arrest list than a docket. The office warns the information may change, may contain errors, and may lag behind the most current Caddo warrant records. A free mobile app adds alerts, inmate information, and office locations. The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office app page lays out those features, though it offers no live warrant search for Caddo County users.
Case numbers, charges, and bond amounts sit in the court record, not on the roster. Note: The Caddo list carries no public as-of date and updates on the agency's schedule, so a served or recalled warrant can still appear.
Caddo Warrant List vs Inmate Records
The two Caddo County lists answer different questions. A name can sit on the active warrant list while the person walks free, and someone can be in custody without ever appearing on that warrant list.
| Record | What It Shows | What It Cannot Tell You |
|---|---|---|
| Caddo active warrant list | An unserved or uncleared warrant | Custody status or where the case stands |
| Inmate lookup | Someone is in custody, with booking details | Whether a warrant is active or what a Caddo judge decided |
| Arrest record | A law enforcement event and a booking | A conviction or a live warrant status |
The Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office runs both services separately. Neither one replaces the other. An arrest report request is a slower Caddo County route, limited by the exceptions in La. R.S. 44:4.
Active Warrants: What They Show
A Caddo warrant entry carries less detail than most people expect. The page is built for identification, not for the legal substance of the case.
| Name | Last, first, and middle name as recorded. |
|---|---|
| Warrant Date | The date the Caddo court or agency issued the warrant. |
| Age and Sex | Values recorded when the entry was posted, not a current age. |
| Location | A city or ZIP where the Caddo agency supplied one, often blank. |
| Photograph | A booking image on some entries only. |
| Warrant Number | Not on the sheriff's list, so ask the issuing Caddo court. |
The warrant number, the charge, and any bond amount live in the court file. The Caddo Parish Clerk of Court holds the district index a Caddo County warrant search needs.
Why the Caddo Warrant List Lags
Nothing on the Caddo active warrant list promises a name drops off the day a warrant is recalled. The page carries no public as-of date. That gap cuts both ways. A Caddo warrant served weeks ago may still show as active, and a vanished name does not prove the case is finished. Only the issuing court can say.
- A missing name does not show that a Caddo court recalled the warrant.
- It does not clear a warrant another agency or jurisdiction holds.
- It does not mean the underlying Caddo case was dismissed.
Note: A clear result on the Caddo County list only means the name was absent that day; the court may still hold an active warrant.
Caddo County Warrant Roundups
Periodic Caddo warrant roundups change the list in bulk. Deputies, city marshals, and federal fugitive personnel work a shared list and close what they can. The office also runs scheduled resolution events at the Caddo Parish Courthouse for eligible misdemeanor warrants. Unpaid fines can be handled there, and failure-to-appear, or FTA, cases can go before a Caddo judge. Felony warrants, warrants from outside Caddo Parish, and people already in custody are excluded.
Key Point: The Caddo active warrant page is an alphabetized agency list, not a ranked most-wanted campaign, and Caddo-Shreveport Crime Stoppers is a tip and reward program rather than a roster. Official sources are the Caddo Parish Sheriff's Office active warrant list and the Crime Stoppers tip program.
Entries change as warrants are served, so verify against the official copy.
From 2010 to Caddo Warrant Events
The agency put an active warrant list online in 2010 and described it then as roughly 250 records covering arrest warrants and bench warrants. A bench warrant follows a missed court date. That figure describes the launch, not today's Caddo page.
Targeted Caddo operations in 2017 and 2018 brought city marshals and federal personnel alongside deputies. Each count belongs to its release year. Note: Operation figures are historical release counts, not a current inventory of open Caddo warrants.
When One Caddo Court Shows a Warrant
Each court keeps its own records, so a warrant can surface on one Caddo docket and stay invisible everywhere else. A Shreveport City Court citation, a mayor's court ticket, a justice-of-the-peace matter, and a district case are four separate files. The Caddo list covers only its own agency's warrants. A municipal ordinance matter or another agency's warrant will not appear, so a single page can point you to the wrong court. Match the court named on your paperwork to the office that can answer. A city citation belongs at the city court. A district case goes to the Caddo Parish Clerk of Court. A small-town ticket belongs in that town's own court, whatever Caddo County index you searched first.
Finding Your Own Name on the List
Believe an entry is you? Gather the court name and case information, then talk to a lawyer before anything else. Several paths can close a Caddo warrant, and none of them are interchangeable.
- Talk to an attorney first. A lawyer can read the court file, confirm the warrant is active, and advise on timing.
- Contact the issuing court or the sheriff's warrant division to confirm the status and requirements.
- Arrange a voluntary surrender through counsel, so bond is set in an orderly way.
- Ask about a motion to recall or quash, which asks the court to withdraw the warrant, when it followed a missed appearance.
- Plan for bond, since a cash or surety bond may be required before a new court date.
Paying money does not fix every Caddo County warrant. A payment plan can settle a misdemeanor balance. It cannot touch a felony warrant, a probation hold, or another agency's warrant. The Caddo County steps for handling a warrant walk from an attorney consult through bond and a recall motion, so use them.
Important: Speak with a lawyer before turning yourself in, since an active Caddo warrant can lead to arrest at a traffic stop.
