WARRANTS SECTION
The Warrants Division is assigned to clear warrants by bringing subjects named in the warrants into compliance with the court. This is often done by arrest. A warrant is not cleared until an individual has been served with the warrant and given a bond hearing or fines are paid. If you have an active warrant you may contact the Warrants Division at 337-907-0407 or 337-907-0408 to make arrangements to turn yourself in. The most common warrants served by the division are warrants obtained by law enforcement as the result of criminal investigations and contempt of court warrants for failure to appear in court. If you have any information on any person who is currently wanted on a warrant, please contact the St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office Warrants Division at 337-907-0407 or 337-907-0408. If you know the location of a subject who is wanted on a criminal charge, do not attempt to apprehend the person yourself. Call the Sheriff's Office or your local law enforcement agency and report the person's identity and location. Do not jeopardize your safety or the safety of others by attempting to apprehend the subject.
VICTIM SERVICES
In the aftermath of a crime, victim services can substantially impact a person's recovery both physically and mentally. The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office brochure serves as a guide for victims providing information about our program as well as information on other service agencies.
