Acadia Parish, Louisiana, has about 57,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Acadia Parish depends on where the incident happened: the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated parish, the agency that reports for the city inside a city. This guide names each agency, where its records page is and what the Louisiana Public Records Law requires of it.
This guide covers which agency, the sheriff's reports, the cities' reports, how many reports, what the law requires and common questions.

Which Agency Holds a Report from Acadia Parish
A crime, incident or collision report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, and that agency releases it, not the court, the jail or the prosecutor.
In Acadia Parish that is the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office for the unincorporated parish and for any city that contracts with it for police service, and the agency that reports for a city where the city has one of its own.
The Eunice Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Acadia Parish, so its arrests are not broken out for Acadia Parish here.
