How to Check for a Warrant in Crowley
Crowley posts no online warrant list. A warrant check here runs through offices, and the issuing court is the one that can confirm an active warrant.
- Start with Crowley City Court or City Hall for a city citation or a traffic warrant question.
- Call Crowley Police Department records if a city officer handled the citation.
- Contact the Acadia Parish Clerk of Court Criminal Department for a felony warrant record.
- Call the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office about parish warrant service or booking.
- Talk with an attorney about a warrant recall or a scheduled surrender.
Note: City and parish warrant records in Crowley sit apart, so confirm the issuing court before you file.
Crowley City Court at 426 North Avenue F
Crowley City Court also goes by the name Sixth Ward and Crowley City Court. It meets in the Criminal Justice Building at 426 North Avenue F, Crowley, LA 70526. A city walking guide places the court and council meetings in the second-floor auditorium. No direct City Court phone is published, so City Hall is the practical first stop for a city warrant question. The City of Crowley government page lists the building.
The Crowley Police Department and Municipal Court
Crowley Police officers enforce city ordinances and state law inside the corporate limits. It is a busy job. Crowley ranks as the largest city in Acadia Parish, counting 11,710 residents at the 2020 Census, per U.S. Census QuickFacts.

The police file and the court file are separate in Crowley. A citation may not reach the warrant record until it is filed.
Crowley's Public Records Officer and Warrant Requests
Crowley City Hall keeps the city's public records, and Shantel Alleman is listed as its Public Records Officer. The office sits at 425 N. Parkerson Avenue, Crowley, LA 70526, with a main line of 337-788-4100 and email at shantel.alleman@crowley-la.com. For a written request, the city publishes a 2025 public records request form. Name the office likely to hold the warrant record when you send it. Note: Ask for the warrant record that exists, not a promise that no warrant exists.
Types of Crowley Warrants
Crowley warrants follow the court that handled the case. A City Court warrant differs from a parish charge, and the label on the warrant record usually names the issuing court.
| Warrant Type | How It Arises | Who Issues It |
|---|---|---|
| Traffic warrant | An unpaid Crowley citation or missed traffic date | Crowley City Court |
| Ordinance violation warrant | An unresolved city code or ordinance violation | Crowley City Court |
| FTA or city bench warrant | A missed required Crowley court appearance | The Crowley City Court judge |
| Arrest warrant | A charge filed after a Crowley police investigation | A magistrate or the 15th JDC |
A label alone does not settle a Crowley case, since bond, payment, or a new date may lift a warrant.
Crowley Warrant Record Requests: Copy or View
The city's form asks you to circle copy or view. A view means inspecting the Crowley warrant record; a copy means the city reproduces it.
- Circle copy or view before you send the form.
- Use one numbered line per item, such as the citation or warrant record, a court notice, a recall order, or a payment receipt.
- Give your name, address, date, and phone; an electronic submission needs no signature.
- Mail it to City of Crowley, Attention: Custodian of Records, P.O. Box 1463, Crowley, LA 70527, or fax or email it.
The form states no copy or search fee. If Crowley questions whether a warrant record is public, it must answer within three business days under La. R.S. 44:32(D).
What a Crowley Warrant Record Shows
A Crowley warrant record is not one document. City Court holds the city warrant file, the parish clerk holds felony records, yet both carry similar fields.
| Warrant or Cause Number | The warrant number the court assigned. Crowley does not publish a local format, so do not assume a prefix. Sample only: 0000000. |
|---|---|
| Subject Name | The person named in the warrant; a public copy may redact it. |
| Charge or Offense | The offense or missed court obligation in the record. |
| Issuing Court | Crowley City Court for a city warrant, or the 15th JDC for a felony. |
| Status | Active, served, recalled, quashed, or cleared, using the court's label. |
| Serving Agency | Crowley Police, the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office, or another serving agency. |
Crowley City Hall Hours and Warrant Timing
Crowley City Hall serves as the city's records hub. The City of Crowley contact page lists the office details a warrant requester needs.
City Hall opens Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. A warrant request left Friday may not reach the records officer until the next week.
Where Crowley Warrants Fit With Acadia Parish
A Crowley warrant stays a city matter unless the case moves up. City Court handles city citations, and the parish system takes felony warrants and parish charges.
Warrant flow: Crowley City Court and Police › Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office › no public statewide warrant search.
Louisiana has no public statewide warrant search, so the last step is a person, not a portal. For the parish picture, start with the Acadia Parish warrant records overview.
Crowley Warrants Versus 15th JDC Warrants
A Crowley city warrant and a 15th Judicial District Court warrant are not the same record. City Court handles city ordinance and traffic warrants, while the 15th Judicial District Court handles felony warrants and parish charges. For a felony warrant, use the Clerk of Court Criminal Department and the Acadia Parish Sheriff's Office. The sheriff may serve a city warrant, but City Court still controls that case. Note: If a Crowley city warrant and a parish warrant both exist, check each court separately because one will not show the other.
Public Access to Crowley Warrant Records
Louisiana's public records law covers city and parish records alike. Not every Crowley warrant record is open, though, since court files, law-enforcement records, and juvenile records have limits.
Key Rules:
Louisiana Public Records Law (La. R.S. 44:1) makes records kept by a public body public unless a law or the Constitution creates an exception.
La. R.S. 44:3 lets an agency withhold some law-enforcement records during a pending investigation, while certain initial reports stay public.
La. Children's Code art. 412 keeps juvenile court records and reports confidential except where a limited exception applies.
Ask the Crowley office that holds the warrant record how it applies these rules. A denial should name the exception.
Crowley Traffic Payment Versus Warrant Confirmation
Paying a Crowley traffic ticket and confirming that no warrant was issued are two different steps. A payment clears the citation, but a missed court date can still produce a bench warrant. Crowley publishes no court payment or recall form, so ask City Court what it accepts and whether a new appearance is required. Confirm the warrant status separately from the payment. Note: A payment receipt is not proof that a warrant was recalled; ask the issuing court to confirm.
