When New Iberia police officers make an arrest, they transport the person to the Iberia Parish Jail for booking. The process takes a few hours. After booking wraps up, the inmate's name and charges show up on the jail roster. If someone was just arrested, give it a bit before you search online. Very recent bookings may not appear for a couple of hours.
The jail handles inmates from across the entire parish, not just New Iberia. So when you search the roster, you will see people from Jeanerette, Loreauville, and other communities too. Filter by name to find the person you need.
New Iberia Police and the Jail Roster
"The New Iberia Police Department is made up of a Diverse Group of 73 Men and Women, sworn and non-sworn, who strive to keep New Iberia a Safe and Family Friendly City." The department handles all law enforcement within city limits but does not run a jail. After every arrest, the person goes to the parish facility.
The New Iberia Police Department website has contact info, news, and details about the department's operations and programs.
Visit the site to find non-emergency contact numbers and learn about programs the department runs in the community.
"New Iberia Police Department, 457 East Main Street, Suite 300, New Iberia, LA 70560. Phone: 337-369-2306."

You can also use the main VINE Link website and search under Iberia Parish. VINE covers all 64 parishes in the state and was created under LSA-R.S. 15:1229. The system was designed so crime victims could track the custody status of the person who committed the offense against them. But the search function works for anyone, not just victims.
Note: The LAVNS portal updates regularly but may not show a very recent booking for a couple of hours after the arrest.
New Iberia Jail Roster Alerts
VINE lets you do more than just search. You can set up alerts to get notified when an inmate's status changes. Register on the VINE Link website to receive a call, text, or email when someone is released, transferred, or has a court date. This works for inmates held at the Iberia Parish Jail after New Iberia arrests.
The LAVNS phone line at 1-866-528-6748 runs 24 hours a day, every day of the year. If you do not have internet access or prefer to call, this line gives you the same inmate information.

Public Access to New Iberia Arrest Records
Under Louisiana's Public Records Law (LSA-R.S. 44:1), arrest records and jail roster data are public. You can look up anyone booked at the Iberia Parish Jail without a reason. The booking record shows the person's name, age, charges, and when they came in. This applies to arrests from New Iberia and everywhere else in the parish.
Some records are restricted though. LSA-R.S. 15:574.12 keeps certain offender files sealed. Pre-sentence investigation reports, parole records, and prison records gathered by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections are confidential. But the law allows public access to an offender's age, offense, date of conviction, sentence length, and misconduct while locked up. So basic New Iberia jail roster data stays open to everyone.
Louisiana also passed LSA-R.S. 14:405 in 2011. This law bars inmates from creating accounts on social networking websites while they are in jail or prison. It applies to people at the Iberia Parish Jail and every other facility in the state. It does not change your ability to search the roster, but it is part of the rules governing people in custody.
