If you are pulled over in Bossier City with a Shreveport warrant marked "Full Extradition," you go to Bossier jail, then get transferred to Shreveport.
But if it’s marked "In Parish Only," you are safe outside Caddo Parish. Most Shreveport City warrants are in-parish only—meaning you can drive to Dallas without fear, but you can’t go to the Mall St. Vincent.
If you believe the person is already in custody, use the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office Inmate Search.
