EVANGELINE PARISH POLICE JURY

What EVANGELINE PARISH POLICE JURY does

The Evangeline Parish Police Jury is the statutory parish-level governing body of Evangeline Parish, Louisiana, corresponding to a county board of commissioners in other U.S. states. The entity was formalized under the Louisiana Constitution of 1845, which dropped all references to counties and established the parish government structure; the police jury form itself dates to an 1811 legislative act. It is led by nine elected district jurors plus a Secretary-Treasurer, with a President (Kevin Veillon, District 5) and Vice President (Ryan M. Ardoin, District 3). The organization serves approximately 33,000 residents of Evangeline Parish from its headquarters at 1008 W. La Salle St., Ville Platte, Louisiana.

The Police Jury delivers a comprehensive suite of local government services including 911 emergency dispatch (via the Office of Emergency Preparedness), public works and road maintenance, building permits, public health services through the parish Health Unit, a parish library system, animal control, sanitation, and community recreation (including Crooked Creek Recreation Area). Its core technology footprint consists of a GIS mapping system supporting parish navigation and geographic information management. The organization is supported by partnerships with the Police Jury Association of Louisiana (governance and legislative advocacy), the LSU AgCenter (agricultural extension), and the Acadiana Planning Commission (regional planning).

As a government entity, the Police Jury does not operate on a commercial revenue or pricing model. It is funded through parish taxes, property taxes, and public funding allocations, with revenue and budget figures not publicly disclosed. Operations are conducted through monthly regular and committee meetings, public hearings, an official website, and a Facebook page for the Office of Emergency Preparedness. The listed headcount of 8 appears to represent elected officials and senior leadership rather than total parish employees across departments.
