Sabine Parish, Louisiana, has about 22,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate), and arrests there are reported to the FBI by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office and three city agencies. An arrest 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 Sabine Parish. This guide says who keeps each one, what it costs and who may see it, with the arrest counts each agency reported.
This guide covers who makes arrests, how many arrests, booking and the jail, finding an arrest, copies, cities and common questions.

Who Makes Arrests in Sabine Parish
The Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office is the county agency that reports arrests to the FBI for Sabine Parish. It reported 715 arrests for 2019, its latest complete year.
The FBI lists three cities in Sabine Parish with a reporting agency of their own, with the Census population and what each reported:
- Many, 2,470 residents: 462 arrests reported for 2019.
- Florien, 543 residents: 1,152 arrests reported for 2025.
- Fisher, 188 residents: 0 arrests reported for 2025.
A city on that list is reported separately whether the officers are the city's own or the sheriff's under contract; the FBI's list does not say which.
How Many Arrests Each Agency Reports in Sabine Parish
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.
- Florien: 1,152 for 2025, 1,152 for 2024, 1,146 for 2023, 1,132 for 2022, 919 for 2021 and 1,146 for 2020.
- Fisher: 0 for 2025, 0 for 2023, 0 for 2021 and 0 for 2020; 2022 and 2024 are missing months.
- Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office: 715 for 2019.
- Many: 462 for 2019.
Together, the two agencies with all twelve months of 2025 on file reported 1,152 arrests that year. The one of them with both 2025 and 2024 complete reported 1,152 in 2025 against 1,152 in 2024.
Through August 2026, the two agencies with every month so far on file reported 647 arrests, against 768 in the same months of 2025.
Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office reported only part of 2025 (4 months) and is left out of the totals.
Booking: Where People Arrested in Sabine Parish Are Held
The parish jail is where a person arrested in Sabine Parish and kept in custody ends up, whichever agency made the arrest, though a city department may hold someone in its own cells first and a person cited and released at the scene is never booked. The jail's record of each person held, with the charges, is a public record of the arrest, and once the person is released or sentenced the record continues in the court file.
On an average day in 2021 the jail held about 180 people, up from about 140 in 2019. Its rated capacity in 2019, the last year with a capacity figure, was 160 beds, and it ran at 88 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 Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office at sabinesheriff.com (page title: Sabine Parish LA Inmate Search, Detention Center, Sheriff's Office), 384 Detention Center Road, Many, LA 71449, 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 Sabine Parish
Whether someone was arrested in Sabine Parish, and what came of it, shows up in two places: the custody page of the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office described above, for anyone booked into the parish jail; the case index of the District Court for Sabine Parish, which shows whether charges were filed and the next court date (the court records page SearchSystems verified is at sabineparishclerk.com/online-access, phone 318-256-6223).
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 Sabine Parish
The report of an arrest is released by the agency that made it; the jail and the court hold their own records of the same event, but not the report. 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.
- An arrest by the Sabine Parish Sheriff's Office: ask its records unit.
- An arrest in Many, Florien or Fisher: the records unit of the agency that reports for that city.
- The court file of a case that was filed: the District Court for Sabine Parish, through the court records page at sabineparishclerk.com/online-access, phone 318-256-6223.
- Your own statewide record: a fingerprint-based request to the Bureau of Criminal Identification.
Cities in Sabine Parish: Who Reports the Arrests
The FBI lists a separate arrest reporting agency for three of the seven cities in Sabine Parish: Many, Florien and Fisher. Zwolle, Pleasant Hill, Converse and Noble have no separate reporting agency in the FBI's list.
Wherever in the parish the arrest happens, a person kept in custody goes to the parish jail and the case goes to the District Court for Sabine Parish.
