Kenner Quick Facts
Kenner 24 Hour Booking Through Jefferson Parish
Kenner does not have a municipal jail. All people arrested within the city are booked at the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center, commonly called JPCC. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office runs this facility and manages all booking records for the parish. The JPSO main office is at 1233 Westbank Expy in Harvey. You can reach them at (504) 363-5500.
Because Kenner relies on Jefferson Parish for detention, the booking process works the same as it does for any other arrest in the parish. Officers transport the arrested person to JPCC. There, deputies handle intake. They take fingerprints, booking photos, and enter the charges into the jail system. Bond amounts get set based on the charge schedule or by a judge. The person stays at JPCC until they bond out, get released, or are transferred.
Kenner has its own police department that makes arrests within city limits. But once an arrest happens, the detention piece falls to the JPSO. This is common in Jefferson Parish. Several cities in the parish rely on JPCC for jail services rather than running their own lockup facilities.
Kenner 24 Hour Booking Inmate Search
The JPSO has an online booking inmate search tool where you can look up any inmate booked at JPCC. This includes people arrested in Kenner. The search is at jpso.com/295/Online-Inmate-Search. Enter a name and the system pulls up matching records. You can see booking dates, charges, bond details, and current custody status.
The search tool is free to use. You do not need to create an account or log in. It works around the clock. Results show everyone currently in custody at the facility. If someone bonded out or was released, they may not appear in the active search anymore. For people who are no longer in custody, you would need to contact the JPSO records division for historical booking information.
New bookings show up in the jail booking system once the booking intake process is done at JPCC. If an arrest just happened, give it a couple hours. The jail has to process the inmate before the record appears online. On busy nights, that delay can stretch a bit longer.
Note: The JPSO inmate search covers all of Jefferson Parish, so results include arrests from Kenner, Gretna, Westwego, and other parish communities.
Kenner 24 Hour Booking and State Resources
Beyond the JPSO search, you can use state and national tools to track inmates connected to Kenner arrests. The VINELink system covers inmates across Louisiana. You can search by name and register for custody alerts when an inmate's custody status changes. If an inmate is released, transferred, or escapes, VINELink sends a notification by phone, email, or text. The service is free.
The Louisiana DPS&C runs an offender locator for inmates in state prison custody. This booking tool is useful if an inmate has already been sentenced and moved from the local jail to a state facility. It does not cover people who are still awaiting trial at JPCC. Use the JPSO search for local jail status and the state locator for inmates serving time in prison.
The Louisiana DPS&C offender locator shown above covers state prison inmates. Use this booking tool when an inmate from Kenner has been transferred to state custody after sentencing.
Kenner Arrest Records Under Louisiana Law
Louisiana law makes booking records public. La. R.S. 44:1 says records of the booking of any person are public records. This applies to everyone booked at JPCC, including Kenner arrests. You can request booking records from the JPSO without stating a reason. Initial arrest reports are also public under La. C.Cr.P. Art. 228.
Some records have restrictions. La. R.S. 44:3 protects records linked to active investigations. Juvenile records are sealed under La. Ch.C. Art. 412. The full state criminal history system is restricted under La. R.S. 15:587 and available only to authorized users and the inmate. But single booking records and arrest reports from the parish detention center are a different matter. Those are public.
Copy fees follow state guidelines. Standard copies run $0.25 to $1.00 per record page. Certified booking copies cost more. Contact the JPSO records unit for exact pricing. The agency has up to five business days to respond to a public booking records request.
