Check Farmerville Criminal Records

Farmerville Criminal History Checks

Start by deciding which Farmerville record is needed. An incident report stays with the Police Department. A municipal-ordinance citation may produce a mayor's-court record through Town Hall. A booking after a Farmerville arrest is held by Union Parish Detention Center, while a state charge and final outcome are filed with the Union Parish Clerk of Court. One event can therefore create several records with different custodians.

1. Call Farmerville Police at (318) 368-2226 for a report created by a town officer.
2. Ask Town Hall at (318) 368-9242 about a public-record request or mayor's-court file.
3. Call Union Parish Detention Center at (318) 368-9827 for current custody, charge, or bond information.
4. Use the Union Parish Clerk for a Third Judicial District case, filed charge, minute entry, or disposition.
5. For one's own statewide Louisiana record, use Louisiana State Police Right to Review rather than a public name-search site.

A broader Union Parish criminal history check explains the statewide repository and parish-wide record layers in greater depth.

Farmerville's Elected Marshal and Police Chief

Farmerville identifies Ernest “Bim” Coulberston as its elected Marshal and Police Chief. The combined office reflects the town's special-charter structure, rather than the organization used by every Louisiana municipality. The official officials page also identifies the town's city attorney and mayor's-court magistrate, which helps explain why a municipal citation and a parish criminal case do not share one docket.

The official Farmerville officials page documents the marshal, magistrate, mayor, aldermen, and parish contacts.

The official roster gives a searcher the correct local roles without implying that the Police Chief maintains Third Judicial District court files.

In January 2025, Farmerville publicly documented the swearing-in of its police chief, officers, reserve officers, administrative staff, and dispatchers. That event is a current institutional marker, but it is not an arrest log or case database.

Records at the Farmerville Police Department

Farmerville Police Department is at 302 Martin Luther King Drive, Farmerville, Louisiana. Its phone number is (318) 368-2226. No official online police-report request form, blotter, or local case-lookup portal was found. Direct contact is therefore the primary Farmerville police-record route.

A written request should identify the requester's contact information, report type, incident date, time and location, report number if known, involved parties, and desired copy format. Farmerville has not published a copy fee or turnaround for this request. Ask about both before submitting or traveling.

Town Hall operates 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Friday. The Friday half-day makes an advance call especially useful.

The official Town of Farmerville site is the town-level source for current contacts and notices.

The town source supports the counter route when no public police portal exposes a report search.

Farmerville Record Requests on Friday

Farmerville Town Hall closes at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, much earlier than its Monday through Thursday closing time. A Farmerville record request that needs a counter visit should be confirmed by phone before travel, especially when the request may actually belong with Police, the mayor's court, or a parish office.

Email can preserve the wording of a request, but the published sources do not promise email turnaround or a set copying fee. Include a callback number and ask which office is the custodian. This small scheduling step matters because the correct Farmerville office may need the incident date, report number, citation number, or case number before staff can locate an existing record.

Farmerville's 1870 Charter Shapes Records

Farmerville's special legislative charter dates to 1842 and was amended in 1870. It still calls for a mayor, five aldermen, and marshal. That history explains the elected marshal and the continued mayor's-court structure. Louisiana R.S. 33:441 permits mayor's-court jurisdiction over municipal-ordinance violations, but it does not turn the mayor's court into the parish felony court.

Farmerville also became the Union Parish records center through older local history. Union Parish was created from northern Ouachita Parish in 1839. The first police jury met at William Wilkerson's Forks Ferry home, Matthew Wood donated centrally located high ground, and the seat was named Farmerville by ordinance. Thomas Van Hook served as the first district-court clerk and W.C. Carr as the first sheriff.

This history has a practical result. Town, parish, district-attorney, and court contacts cluster in Farmerville, but each office remains custodian only of the records it creates or receives.

Booking and Arrest Records in Farmerville

A Farmerville officer creates the incident or arrest report at the town level. If the person is booked, custody shifts to Union Parish Detention Center at 707 Rodeo Circle. The Police Jury operates that facility through a jail commission; the Sheriff's Office says it does not operate the jail. Call UPDC at (318) 368-9827 for current detainee charge and bond information.

Third Judicial District bonds are handled at the Union Parish Sheriff's Office, 710 Holder Road. A bondsman, cash, or money order may be used. Checks and debit cards are not accepted for bonding. The fee is $30 per charge. Detainees are transported from the detention center to the Sheriff's Office, complete the paperwork, and leave through the front lobby.

Farmerville record flow: Police report › UPDC booking › district attorney review › Union Parish Clerk case.

The officer's arrest charge can differ from the charge later filed by the District Attorney. A booking image or jail entry documents custody, not guilt. For a focused explanation of local custody channels, use the Union Parish arrest search.

Note: Request the original Farmerville police report from Farmerville Police, even when the detention center holds the related booking record.

The Farmerville Municipal Court File

Farmerville's mayor's court handles qualifying municipal-ordinance matters. Town Hall is the practical record fallback because no official public mayor's-court docket portal was found. A state misdemeanor or felony prosecution belongs in Third Judicial District Court, not automatically in the municipal file.

A booking does not prove that a mayor's-court file exists. Likewise, a town citation does not prove that UPDC booked the person. Use the incident or citation number, date, and party name to help Town Hall locate the correct local record.

Farmerville's Parish-Seat Court Access

Farmerville is the parish seat, placing the Union Parish Clerk and Third Judicial District Attorney near the town records channels. The Clerk's criminal desk is at 100 East Bayou Street, Suite 105. The Clerk is the ordinary custodian for filed pleadings, minutes, case numbers, charges, dispositions, and certified court records.

The Third Judicial District Attorney serves Union and Lincoln Parishes. Its Union office is at 100 East Bayou Street in Farmerville, telephone (318) 368-2201.

The office prosecutes cases and makes filing decisions, while the Clerk holds the filed district-court record.

The District Attorney staff and divisions page lists criminal, juvenile, misdemeanor, traffic, appellate, child-support, civil, hot-check, and other functions.

The division list helps route an inquiry, but it is not a public party-name case search.

Farmerville Diversion and the Record Trail

The Third Judicial District Attorney publishes diversion information. A diversion path can affect prosecution and disposition records, yet participation should not be assumed from an arrest or a blank online result. A reader reviewing a personal Farmerville record should obtain the Clerk's actual outcome and compare it with any Louisiana State Police record.

The official Third District diversion page is the source for current program information.

The program source explains an available district channel without promising admission, dismissal, or expungement.

If a LACCH record lacks a disposition, obtain a certified disposition from the Union Parish Clerk and follow Louisiana State Police correction instructions. A dismissal does not by itself erase the Farmerville report or UPDC booking.

How Farmerville Records Reach the County

Farmerville Police reports begin with the town. Booking data begins at UPDC. The District Attorney decides whether and what state charges to file. The Union Parish Clerk records the district-court case and final action. Qualifying fingerprint-linked events and dispositions may then reach Louisiana State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information.

Record flow: Farmerville Police › Union Parish Detention Center › Third Judicial District › Louisiana State Police BCII.

Farmerville Records Without an Online Blotter

No official Farmerville police blotter, report form, case lookup, or town jail was located. That does not mean the underlying record is unavailable. It means the search starts by phone, email, mail, or at the proper counter. Describe the existing record narrowly enough for the custodian to identify it.

The District Attorney has a separate written public-records request process. Hand delivery goes to 100 East Bayou Street, second floor; mail is directed to First Assistant DA Laurie James at that address; fax is (318) 251-5103; email is lwhitten@lincolnparish.org. Accurate requester contact information is required. Copies are provided after payment, and examination at the office is subject to availability and exemptions.

This request channel applies to District Attorney records, not every Farmerville police or court record.

Note: Send each request to the office that created or maintains the record; one Farmerville agency cannot produce every layer of an incident.

Farmerville Record Access Rules

Louisiana Public Records Law, R.S. 44:1 et seq., generally opens existing nonexempt records held by public bodies to inspection and copying. The law does not require Farmerville to create a new report or answer a broad research question. Investigatory, juvenile, victim, sealed, and other protected material may be withheld or redacted under applicable law.

Ask whether a fee applies before requesting copies because Farmerville has not published a town report-copy schedule in the captured sources. If a record is withheld, ask the custodian to identify the legal basis. A certified court disposition must come from the Clerk rather than the Police Department or District Attorney.
