St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana Warrant Search

An arrest warrant is issued when it is reasonably suspected that a person has committed a crime. While police officers are responsible for arresting the suspect, they cannot issue warrants. An arrest warrant can only be approved by a judicial officer, such as a judge or magistrate.
