Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, has about 20,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate). A police report belongs to the agency whose officer wrote it, so which office holds a report from Pointe Coupee Parish depends on where the incident happened: the Pointe Coupee 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.

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.
Any other parish record goes through the parish records request page SearchSystems verified, at pcparish.org/mdocs-posts/public-records-request-form (page title: Public Records Request Form | Pointe Coupée Parish Government).
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney handles discovery for pending cases.
