Find Minden Police Bookings

Minden Police Holding Overview

The City of Minden Police Department page lists the department at 520 Broadway Street in Minden and identifies Chief Jared McIver. The same city page gives the non-emergency and emergency numbers and describes department staffing. Research did not locate a separate Minden city jail roster, separate municipal inmate search, or published city holding capacity. Minden PD is instead an arresting agency that can appear in the Webster Parish sheriff's Kologik roster after a person is booked or transferred.

This distinction matters in routine searches. A person arrested by Minden Police may first be handled by city officers, but public current-custody lookup usually shifts to Webster Parish jail records. On June 16, 2026, the shared Webster roster count included Minden PD records as an arresting-agency group. That confirms that a city arrest can become a parish jail roster card. It does not mean the city operates a full public jail population page of its own.

Minden Holding Population

No official capacity, average population, or live count was located for Minden Police Department Holding. The facility map classifies it as municipal police holding only, with short-term arrestees before booking or transfer to Webster Parish sheriff custody. For that reason, Bayou Dorcheat capacity numbers and the shared 526 roster count should not be labeled as the Minden holding population.

The useful sourced population fact is the arresting-agency spread. The June 16, 2026 Webster Parish Kologik ALL/current response included 73 Minden PD records among 526 current roster records. That is not a city jail census. It is evidence that Minden Police arrests flow into the parish custody system and become searchable there once entered. If a person was just arrested, allow for intake and data entry before assuming the absence of a roster card means release.

Minden Booking Lookup

The correct current-custody lookup for a Minden Police arrest is the Webster Parish Kologik Public Jail Roster. Search by name first, then use RECENT BOOKINGS, ALL, and A-Z browse options. The roster card can show MINDEN PD as the arresting agency, along with arrest date, days jailed, charge rows, warrant numbers, and bond amounts. The roster is a jail custody tool, not a full police report database.

1. Search the Webster Parish roster for the person's name.
2. Check the Arresting Agency field for MINDEN PD or another agency label.
3. Review charges and bond rows, noting that No Bond or outside holds may block release.
4. Call Bayou Dorcheat at (318) 371-9199 if the person may have been transferred to sheriff custody.
5. Use the Minden Police site for city police report, bail bond, citation, tip, or public-records navigation.

For sentenced state custody, use Louisiana VINELink. For formal charges after arrest, use the 26th Judicial District Court and Webster Parish Clerk path. A city arrest charge on a jail card can differ from the later court charge filed by the district attorney.

Minden Police Contact

The Minden Police contact page gives the department's Broadway Street address, non-emergency number, emergency number, and chief. The Minden Police site also has public-facing navigation for Pay Bail Bonds, file a report, pay citation, anonymous tips, crash reports, and public records request. Use the city police number for police-record or city enforcement questions, and use the jail phone when the question is current custody inside Webster Parish sheriff control.

Minden Police Visits

No official public visitation schedule was located for Minden Police Department Holding. That is expected for a short-term police holding point. People held after a city arrest are normally moved into the Webster Parish sheriff custody system if they remain in custody after initial processing. Social visits, video visits, commissary, and inmate phone accounts should therefore be checked through the sheriff jail system once the person is booked there.

Do not drive to the police department expecting a jail visit unless staff has told you to do so. If the person is still in police processing, visitation may not be available. If the person has moved to Bayou Dorcheat or another sheriff custody point, the jail rules control. If the matter has moved to court, the 26th JDC or clerk record path controls case information.

Minden Holding Mail Money

Short-term police holding is not the same as an inmate commissary account. The sheriff corrections page links CommissaryDeposit and City Tele Coin for Webster Parish jail services, not a separate Minden police jail. The Minden Police site also has Pay Bail Bonds navigation, but payment details should be verified before use because a person can have a city matter, a parish hold, a court bond, or an outside warrant.

Minden Police Booking

A Minden Police arrest may begin with street arrest, warrant service, citation-related custody, crash investigation, or another city enforcement action. The person may be processed by police and then moved into the sheriff jail system. Once entered into the Webster roster, the public card can show the arresting agency, booking and arrest times, charges, warrant numbers, and bond. Roster examples show same-day booking data can appear, but no fixed update time is published.

Booking records are public under Louisiana's booking-book rule, but police records and court records are not the same thing. Minden Police can be the source of the arrest, the sheriff jail can be the source of custody status, and the district attorney can later file different court charges. For a public-records request, use the agency that created or maintains the record sought.

About Minden Holding

Minden Police Department Holding serves a municipal processing role in the parish detention map. Chief Jared McIver is listed as department chief, and the city page reports 37 full-time officers/staff and five part-time dispatchers. The Minden Police site also offers report, citation, bail, anonymous tip, crash report, and public-records functions, which are police-service channels rather than a jail roster.

For current custody, the Webster Parish sheriff roster is the key public tool. For court status after a Minden arrest, use Clerk Connect, the Webster Parish Clerk, the 26th JDC, and the district attorney's court channels. For state or federal custody, use VINELink, BOP, USMS, or ICE as appropriate.
