Allen Parish, Louisiana, has about 23,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Allen Parish depends on where the incident happened: the Allen 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 Allen 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 Allen Parish that is the Allen 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.

What the Louisiana Public Records Law Requires
Under the Louisiana Public Records Law the agency must answer a request within 3 business days when the record is not immediately available, and it may charge a reasonable fee for copies. The request goes to the agency that holds the report, in writing, and does not have to say why the report is wanted.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (337) 639-2641, handles discovery for pending cases.
