Terrebonne Parish's Most Wanted Program
Terrebonne Parish's Wanted Wednesday posts spotlight a handful of cases tied to active investigations, asking the public for information. Every post carries the same warning: do not approach the person, and let law enforcement make any contact. Tips can go to sheriff's detectives or to Crime Stoppers Bayou Region. The sheriff's Wanted Wednesday page is the official home for the current posts.
The Terrebonne Parish page posts a banner with instructions for sending in tips. The names of wanted individuals appear on the official page itself.
Terrebonne Parish Most Wanted Updates
Wanted Wednesday is a news-post format, not a standing database with an as-of date. It appears when the Terrebonne Parish sheriff decides a case warrants public help. Each post carries whatever detail the agency chooses to release. The sheriff sets no fixed weekly or monthly refresh for the roster. A post can sit quiet for a while and then return with new information. Treat the dated post itself as the record. Note: A program post reflects the sheriff's public request for information, not a current court status for any named person.
How the Most Wanted Lists Work
A most wanted list is curated by hand. Someone at the agency picks which cases get that attention, and the posts mix wanted-person requests with updates on investigations. Terrebonne Parish's public warrant table works differently. It is an unfiltered search across the records the sheriff's system holds. Both can shift quickly, though. A case can be resolved while the post stays online, or a fresh post can describe a warrant that has not reached the table yet. When the two disagree, the agency and the issuing court are the sources that settle the question.
Terrebonne Parish Most Wanted Tips
Bayou Region Crime Stoppers serves Terrebonne Parish and Lafourche with an anonymous tip system. No call is recorded. No name is given. The call taker instead issues a tip ID and a password, which lets the caller check back later or add information. A civilian board reviews arrests tied to tips and sets rewards, which can reach $1,000, and payment is arranged privately through the tip number. The program explains its own process in detail on its page, which is the right place to read the current rules before calling.
Reporting a Tip Safely
A tip works best when it is specific. Vague guesses do little. Location, time, vehicle, and any concrete detail help a Terrebonne Parish officer act on what you saw.
Key Rules:
Send the information to the sheriff's detectives at 985-876-2500 or to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433, and use the anonymous web or app route if a phone call feels unsafe.
Never approach a person named in a wanted post, and never put yourself between law enforcement and the case.
Keep the tip ID and password if a reward may apply, because that is how the board matches a tip to an outcome.
The Bayou Tips App for Terrebonne Warrants
The Bayou Tips app is an official reporting channel for anonymous tips across the Bayou Region. Its listing describes fugitive and warrant categories along with the reward process, and it allows two-way communication with the tip taker. It is not a warrant search. Someone checking their own record in Terrebonne Parish, or a relative's, should use the sheriff's public table and the issuing court, since the app cannot confirm a case status.
Most Wanted Lists vs Active Warrants
People often use the two phrases as if they meant the same thing in Terrebonne Parish. They do not.
| Point | Most Wanted Program | Active Warrant Table |
|---|---|---|
| Who appears | A small, curated set chosen by the agency | Every record the sheriff's public feed carries |
| Purpose | Ask the public for information | Let a person check a name |
| Format | Dated news posts | A searchable table with filters |
| Right use | Send a tip and stay away | Check a name, then confirm with the court |
Terrebonne Parish Most Wanted Rewards
The reward system is simple. The tip taker gives you a code, a board reviews the results, and the caller claims any reward with that code. Terrebonne Parish tipsters never give a name at any step.
- Tip ID
- The number a caller receives in place of a name.
- Password
- The private code used to add information or check back.
- Reward ceiling
- Up to $1,000 in the parish program, decided by the civilian board.
- Two-way tip
- A secure web or app exchange that lets the taker ask a follow-up question.
- Do-not-approach
- The standing warning on wanted posts that only law enforcement should make contact.
If You Think You Are on a List
A wanted post is not a court status. If your name shows up in a program post, contact a lawyer and the Terrebonne Parish sheriff's warrant staff rather than the tip line, and do not try to resolve it in person.
Important: Call a lawyer and the warrant unit. Do not approach an officer, a post, or anyone named in an investigation.
The court named on the underlying case is the office that answers for Terrebonne Parish. It can confirm whether a warrant is active and what it takes to close it.
Recent Terrebonne Parish Most Wanted Posts
The program's timeline sets expectations. Posts in 2025 and 2026 covered a shooting investigation, a search for a wanted person, and multi-agency operations. Every one carried the same tip instructions and do-not-approach warning. Those posts show how the Terrebonne Parish program operates day to day. They do not add up to a count of outstanding warrants in the parish, and no office here publishes one. For a personal question, the public warrant table and the issuing court remain the right sources.
