Mugshots Will Not Be Routinely Available

HB 729 of the 2022 Regular Session  was approved by both the House and Senate and sent to the Governor for executive approval. The legislation limits the release and dissemination of booking photographs of an arrested person. 

Washington Parish Sheriff's Office Chief Criminal Deputy Mike Haley has advised that, except for rare exceptions, mugshots will not be included in media releases. Mugshots will only be released as dictated by the legislation.
