Assumption Parish Police Jury

What Assumption Parish Police Jury does

Assumption Parish Police Jury is the legislative and governing authority of Assumption Parish, Louisiana, operating under the state's Police Jury system since the parish's establishment in 1807. The entity is governed by nine elected Police Jurors, one from each of the parish's nine wards, with executive administration led by Parish Manager Brian Blankenship and Secretary-Treasurer Kim M. Torres. The organization delivers core municipal services across the parish, including public works (roads, bridges, drainage, sewers), emergency preparedness (Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness), permitting and floodplain management, housing and community development (Section 8, weatherization, energy assistance), animal control, waterworks, and recreational and event facility management (Community Center and Agricultural Complex/Arena).

The entity's technology footprint is limited to a CivicPlus CivicEngage-powered website (assumptionla.com) that provides agendas, minutes, code of ordinances, department directories, online permit and licensing applications, facility scheduling, public records requests, the CivicReady emergency alert system, and the Notify Me email subscription service. Compliance posture includes Section 508 and WCAG 2.0 A/AA accessibility adherence. Partnerships are primarily with CivicPlus (technology), GOHSEP (state emergency management), the Louisiana Legislative Auditor (oversight), and the local Chamber of Commerce (economic development).

The Police Jury's financial model is a tax-and-fee-based public funding structure: primary inflows are property taxes, occupational and liquor license fees, permit fees, facility rental revenue (Community Center rentals ranging from $300 to $5,000 and Agricultural Complex rentals), and federal/state grants (including RESTORE Act funds and HUD community development block grants). The 2026 proposed budget totals approximately $5.9M. Operations span 14+ physical office and facility locations concentrated in Napoleonville with additional library branches in Bayou L'Ourse, Belle Rose, Labadieville, and Pierre Part, serving a parish population of roughly 21,000 across the nine wards.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• Everbridge: Critical event management and mass-notification platform used by many parish and county governments for emergency alerts comparable to CivicReady. Relevant as an alternative or supplement to the parish's current emergency-notification stack.

Broad incumbents

• Granicus: Government experience and digital-services platform competing in the same gov-tech category as CivicPlus, providing content management, public records, and constituent engagement tools. Comparable as a benchmark for the parish's digital infrastructure investment choices.
• CivicPlus: Sole technology vendor powering the parish's website, emergency alert system (CivicReady), and Notify Me subscription engine. While not a peer in governance, it is the most relevant reference point for the parish's digital service-delivery capability and roadmap.

Direct peers

• Lafayette Parish Government: Another Louisiana parish operating under a similar consolidated parish-government structure with public works, permitting, emergency preparedness, and facility rental functions. Most directly comparable on governance form and service mix, though at a much larger scale.
• St. Martin Parish Government: Neighboring Louisiana parish operating a Police Jury system with similar drainage, road maintenance, permitting, and community development service lines. Relevant peer for shared regional infrastructure and emergency-management coordination.
• Iberville Parish Government: Louisiana parish of similar rural/semi-rural scale with parallel service lines including roads and drainage, permitting, animal control, and community development block grant administration. Useful comparable for budget scale and staffing patterns.
• Terrebonne Parish Government: Coastal Louisiana parish with similar hurricane, drainage, and floodgate-maintenance obligations tied to RESTORE Act funding. Operates the same Police Jury-style governance and faces near-identical climate and infrastructure challenges, making it the closest functional peer.
• Ascension Parish Government: Louisiana parish with comparable departments (Public Works, Permits, Animal Control, Community Development) and a CivicPlus-style digital front door. Closely aligned on service portfolio and digital resident-engagement approach.
• St. Landry Parish Government: Louisiana parish government with parallel Police Jury governance, public works, and emergency preparedness functions. Similar demographic scale and revenue mix (property tax, occupational licenses, grants) make it a relevant operational peer.

Others

• Assumption Area Chamber of Commerce: Local economic-development partner linked from the Police Jury website. Not a direct operational peer, but a key community stakeholder for occupational licensing, business-permit coordination, and parish economic-development strategy.
