Mandeville, Louisiana, in St. Tammany Parish, has about 13,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and its arrests are reported to the FBI by an agency of its own. An arrest in the city leaves the same records whoever makes it: the arresting agency's report, the record of anyone held at the parish jail, and, if the District Attorney files charges, a case in the District Court for St. Tammany Parish. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts the agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Mandeville
The FBI lists Mandeville with an arrest reporting agency of its own, filed as Mandeville Police Department. It reported 345 arrests for 2025. A city is listed separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
Outside the city, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office is the county agency. It reported 3,943 arrests for 2025.
How Many Arrests Mandeville Reports
Each agency reports its arrests to the FBI by month, and the FBI publishes them on the Crime Data Explorer. These are the full-year totals, all offenses, as the FBI held them on October 8, 2026; a year with months missing or not reported is left out.
- Mandeville: 345 for 2025, 322 for 2024, 290 for 2023, 256 for 2022, 208 for 2021 and 690 for 2020.
Mandeville's 345 arrests in 2025 were up 7.1 percent from 322 in 2024.
Through July 2026, Mandeville reported 220 arrests, against 200 in the same months of 2025.
Across St. Tammany Parish, the five agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 6,366 arrests between them.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Mandeville Are Held
A person kept in custody after an arrest in Mandeville is held at the parish jail, whichever agency made the arrest, apart from the short stay some city departments' own holding cells allow; a person cited and released at the scene is not booked at all. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and the court file takes over from there.
On an average day in 2023 the jail held about 910 people, down from about 1,090 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2023 was 1,180 beds, and it ran at 77 percent of it that year. The figures are from the Vera Institute of Justice's Incarceration Trends data.
SearchSystems opened and checked the custody page of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office at inmates.stpso.revize.com/bookings (page title: St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Office Inmate Search), a site that blocks automated checks (HTTP 403), so open it in a browser.
That page is the place to look for someone who was booked recently; a person cited and released at the scene, or held only a few hours by a city department, will not be on it.
A person sentenced to prison serves the sentence in a facility of the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, whose inmate locator is at doc.la.gov.
How to Find Out About an Arrest in Mandeville
Whether someone was arrested in Mandeville, and what came of it, shows up in three places: the custody page of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the parish jail; the case index of the District Court for St. Tammany Parish, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at sttammanyclerk.org, phone (985) 809-8700); the District Attorney, which decides whether an arrest becomes a charge (its page is at stpgov.org/departments/civil_division_of_district_attorneys_office/..., phone 985-898-3427).
Louisiana does not let the public search another person's statewide criminal history. The record kept by the Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification goes to the person it belongs to and to employers and agencies the law authorizes; for everyone else the court's own case index is the public record of an arrest that led to a charge.
Getting a Copy of an Arrest Record in Mandeville
An arrest report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court or the jail. Under the Louisiana Public Records Law the agency must answer within 3 business days when the record is not immediately available, and it may charge a reasonable fee for copies.
