Choose the office by the record or action needed:

  • Call Ville Platte P&P at 337-363-6679 for the correct Allen Parish supervision district, subject to confidentiality.

  • Contact DPS&C public records at 225-342-6744 or docpublicrecords@la.gov for an existing public state record, not a new sentence calculation.

  • Contact the specific facility shown in the footer when the custodian is already known.
