Shreveport City Jail Booking Lookup

Shreveport City Jail Overview

Shreveport City Jail is operated through the City of Shreveport Police Department. The official City Jail page identifies 755 Hope Street as the place where jail bonding is done and posts daily "City Jail Bookings" reports. The Shreveport Police FAQ tells users trying to find out if someone is in jail to call the Jail Desk or view booking details. That makes the city jail a separate first stop for recent Shreveport Police arrests, especially before a person appears in the Caddo sheriff's current inmate listing.

The facility type matters. A city jail or municipal holding facility is not the same as the parish jail, a state prison, or a federal detention facility. Someone arrested by Shreveport Police may be booked at the city level, released or bonded from the city jail, routed to Shreveport City Court, or later transferred to Caddo Correctional Center depending on the charge, custody decision, and court path. The public should not rely only on one roster when the arrest starts with city police.

The city's own jail page is the best starting point for the municipal booking channel: Shreveport City Jail page.

The city page distinguishes the municipal booking reports from the Caddo sheriff roster. That distinction helps avoid a common mistake after a fresh Shreveport arrest: searching only the parish roster when the city booking channel is still the better first check.

Shreveport City Jail Capacity and Population

No official source in the research published a capacity figure or current headcount for Shreveport City Jail. The city page does post daily booking reports, and the research captured examples dated June 11 through June 15, 2026, but daily booking reports are not the same as a bed capacity, average daily population, or current-custody count. Those city reports should be used as booking snapshots rather than a complete jail-population statistic.

For broader local population context, the Caddo Parish Criminal Justice Task Force report focuses on Caddo Correctional Center, not the city jail. It reported CCC's 2022 average daily population, capacity pressure, pretrial growth, and case-processing issues. Those figures help explain why people may move from municipal booking into parish custody, but they should not be copied onto the city jail as if the city facility has the same rated capacity or population count.

How to Look Up an Inmate at Shreveport City Jail

For a recent Shreveport Police arrest, start with the city channel. The official City Jail page posts daily City Jail Bookings reports, and the Shreveport Police FAQ gives the Jail Desk number for people trying to learn whether someone is in jail. If the person is not in the daily reports or the Jail Desk cannot confirm current city custody, the next step is the Caddo sheriff roster because a person may have moved from municipal booking into parish custody at CCC.

1. Open the City of Shreveport City Jail page and review the latest daily booking report links.
2. Call the Jail Desk at (318) 673-7130 if the booking report does not answer the custody question.
3. Search the Caddo sheriff current inmate roster if the person may have been transferred to Caddo Correctional Center.
4. Use Shreveport City Court, Caddo court, LAVNS, BOP, or ICE channels when the case or custody status has moved beyond city booking.

The city jail page and FAQ are especially useful for fresh arrests. The sheriff roster is stronger once the person is in parish custody. LAVNS/DPS&C is for sentenced Louisiana custody. BOP is for sentenced federal custody, and ICE ODLS is for immigration detention after transfer. A local detainer or warrant may also keep a person in custody even when a city bond issue appears to be resolved.

Shreveport City Jail Address and Contact

The official city page identifies the City Jail as the bonding location at 755 Hope Street. The Shreveport Police FAQ lists the Jail Desk at (318) 673-7130 and the Shreveport Police main number at (318) 673-7300. For city court case questions, the Caddo Parish District Attorney's criminal division page points users to the Shreveport City Clerk of Criminal Court at (318) 673-5830 when the case is set in Shreveport City Court.

Visiting Someone at Shreveport City Jail

The current City Jail page states that visitation is temporarily suspended while the facility is under renovation. The Shreveport Police FAQ gives background terms for normal jail visitation, including Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday visiting days, four times each day, two visitors per week, and a visitation day that depends on housing. The current renovation notice should control over the older general FAQ wording until the city posts an updated rule.

Mail, Phone, and Money at Shreveport City Jail

The official research is strongest for bonding, not for city-jail mail or commissary. The City Jail page states that jail bonding is done at 755 Hope Street. The FAQ repeats that bonding is done at the City Jail and gives the Jail Desk as the route for custody questions. It also gives police report-copy fees and records counter information, but those report-copy fees are not jail commissary or inmate account fees. Do not treat report fees as jail deposit fees.

No official Shreveport source in the research published a full city-jail mail address format, phone vendor, video vendor, commissary schedule, or deposit-fee table. If the person has been transferred to Caddo Correctional Center, CCC mail and CorrectPay deposit rules may become relevant. If the person remains in city custody, call the Jail Desk before sending money, mail, property, or documents.

Booking and Intake at Shreveport City Jail

Louisiana booking law requires a peace officer to bring an arrested person promptly to the nearest jail or police station and cause the person to be booked. For Shreveport Police arrests, the city jail and daily city booking reports are the first practical records channel. A city booking may show before the person appears on the Caddo sheriff roster, and a city release or bond may resolve the custody question without a later CCC listing.

Charges and court routing can change after intake. The Caddo District Attorney's criminal division page notes that Shreveport City Court is at 1244 Texas Avenue and directs city-court users to the Shreveport City Clerk of Criminal Court. For Caddo Parish court dates or records, the DA page points to the Caddo Parish Clerk's Office. That split is why a Shreveport City Jail search should separate custody status from court-record status. The jail can tell whether a person is held, while the court clerk is the route for case settings and court filings.

About Shreveport City Jail

Shreveport City Jail's local role is best understood as the city-side front door for some arrests inside Caddo Parish. The city posts daily booking reports, handles bonding at Hope Street, and directs custody questions to the Jail Desk. Caddo Correctional Center, by contrast, is the parish jail with the broader current housed-inmate roster, public-records process, and parish detention contacts. When a person cannot be found in one system, checking the other can be necessary because city booking, parish jail housing, court processing, and transfer decisions do not all happen at the same instant.

Recent facility status also matters. The city page's renovation-related visitation suspension shows that jail operations can change even when general FAQ pages still describe ordinary visiting days. That same caution applies to booking reports and bonding questions. A daily report can be useful, but a direct Jail Desk call is the better route when timing matters, the name is misspelled, the person may have been released, or the person may have been transferred to CCC.
