Leesville Police Facility Overview
The Leesville Police Department is the city police agency for Leesville. The official city page lists the department at 101 West Lee Street and names Amanda Westmoreland as chief of police and Matthew Warren as deputy chief. It also says Leesville Police arrestees are housed at Vernon Parish Jail and directs jail questions to the sheriff. That language makes the Leesville facility a municipal arrest point and public list channel, not the main detention facility for Vernon Parish.
The older LeesvillePD.org site still publishes a current-inmates page with a short roster. Research captured text saying "Inmates currently incarcerated at Leesville P.D." and that the list is updated every day at 8:00 a.m. The list is useful because it may show a name and a short local status, but the city page's housing statement means custody confirmation should still run through Vernon Parish Jail for bond, release, visits, and longer housing questions.
The official Leesville Police Department page documents the city-police contact and the statement that LPD arrestees are housed at Vernon Parish Jail.
The city page is the reason this facility page treats Leesville as an arrest and records channel while routing jail housing questions to the parish jail.
Leesville Police Inmate Population
No official capacity, bed count, or average daily population was found for the Leesville Police Department Jail / Holding Facility. That is consistent with its role as a municipal holding or current-list channel. The research did not support calling it a long-term jail, a parish prison, or a state facility. People arrested by Leesville Police may be listed by the city but housed or confirmed through Vernon Parish Jail.
Use any city-list result as a lead, not a final custody decision. If the same person is also on the Vernon LAVNS roster, the parish roster and jail phone should control practical questions about bond, housing, release, and visits.
Search Leesville Police Inmates
The Leesville current-inmates page is a supplemental city channel. It is most useful when the arresting agency was Leesville Police, when a person may be an "Other Agency Inmate," or when the Vernon Parish roster is not yet clear. The page is a simple text list rather than a full searchable jail profile system.
- Check the Leesville Police current-inmates page for a name and short status note.
- Read any city status language, such as other-agency inmate, sentenced, probation violation, or bond denied.
- Call Leesville Police at (337) 238-0331 for city-police records or arrest-agency questions.
- Call Vernon Parish Jail at (337) 238-7232 or the sheriff main line at (337) 238-1311 to confirm jail housing and release issues.
- Use Louisiana VINELink, BOP, or ICE ODLS only if the person has moved into state, federal, or immigration custody.
Because the Leesville list is not a full public profile system, the Vernon Parish inmate population hub is a better starting point for deciding which custody system applies.
Leesville Police Contact
Leesville Police handles city-police law-enforcement questions, records tied to LPD officers, and local department routing. The parish jail handles jail custody and housing questions for LPD arrestees after housing through the sheriff. Keeping those roles separate prevents calls to the wrong office.

Leesville Police Records
The official city page says the Leesville Police Records Division maintains documentation of incidents involving LPD officers. It says copies are available for a small fee and that services include background checks, fingerprinting, and photographing, with transactions described as cash-only. The research did not capture a detailed fee schedule, so exact copy costs should be confirmed with the city before visiting.
| Record Need | Start With | Why |
|---|---|---|
| LPD incident report | Leesville Police Records Division | City page says LPD records maintains officer incident documentation. |
| Current custody after LPD arrest | Vernon Parish Jail | City page says arrestees are housed at the parish jail. |
| Filed charges or court dates | Vernon Parish Clerk criminal/minute clerks | Court records are separate from the city arrest list. |
| State prison location | Louisiana VINELink/DPS&C | State custody is outside the city police list. |
Leesville Police Visit Questions
No public visitation schedule was found for a Leesville Police jail or holding facility. Because the current city police page says arrestees are housed at Vernon Parish Jail, visit eligibility should be checked with the parish jail. Do not assume that a city-list entry means a city-police lobby visit is available.
| Location | Visit Schedule | Rule to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Leesville Police Department | Not published as a jail visit schedule | Whether the person is still in city custody or has moved to parish jail |
| Vernon Parish Jail | Not published in official sources inspected | ID, approved visitors, dress code, and allowed items |
| Louisiana DPS&C custody | Facility-specific prison rules | Approved visiting list and photo ID requirements |
Leesville Police Mail Money
No city jail mail, phone, commissary, or money-deposit rule was found for the Leesville Police Department Jail / Holding Facility. That fits the facility's short-term municipal role. If the person is housed at Vernon Parish Jail, follow the jail's confirmed instructions rather than sending money, mail, or packages to the police department.
| Service | Leesville Finding | Practical Step |
|---|---|---|
| No city jail mail format located | Confirm housing with Vernon Parish Jail before mailing | |
| Money | No city commissary vendor located | Ask the parish jail if the person is housed there |
| Phone or video | No city detention vendor located | Confirm with the housing facility |
Leesville Arrest Booking Path
A Leesville Police arrest can begin at the municipal level and then move to parish jail custody. Louisiana Article 228 requires prompt booking at a jail or police station and a booking information summary from the arresting officer. That summary includes the legal name if known, the charges on which the person was arrested, and the arresting person.
Once the person is housed through Vernon Parish Jail, bond and hold questions shift to the jail, sheriff, and court. The Leesville current-inmates list can show practical status language, but it does not replace clerk records for filed charges or court minutes. The 30th Judicial District / Vernon Parish Clerk of Court and the Vernon Parish District Attorney handle the court-record path after the arrest.
About Leesville Police Custody
Leesville's current police page describes divisions, records services, patrol technology, K-9, investigations, community outreach, DARE, Safe Haven, and online city services. It also notes that patrol vehicles have Mobile Data Terminals with officer access to state and federal warrant information. That is not a public warrant database. Public warrant or custody questions still require the sheriff, jail, clerk, or court confirmation channels documented in the research.
Note: Treat the Leesville list as a city clue, then confirm jail custody with Vernon Parish Jail.
