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.
A defendant who has been charged gets the report through the case: the District Attorney, (318) 741-8611, handles discovery for pending cases.
