About: Police jury

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the U.S. state of Louisiana, the typical governing body of the parish is called the Police Jury (French: le Jury de Police). Not every parish is governed by a Police Jury, but 38 of the 64 parishes use this system. Police juries range in size, depending on the population of the parish, from three to fifteen. Many parishes are quite rural and therefore have small police juries. Wide latitude is given to organize and administer the police jury's business. Like other elections in Louisiana, parish elections typically occur in odd-numbered years, and use the open primary system.

  • In the U.S. state of Louisiana, the typical governing body of the parish is called the Police Jury (French: le Jury de Police). Not every parish is governed by a Police Jury, but 38 of the 64 parishes use this system. The Police Jury is the legislative and executive government of the parish, and is elected by the voters. Its members are called Jurors, and together they elect a President as their chairman. The President presides over the Police Jury and serves as the titular head of the parish government. The Police Jury is akin to the commissions or councils that govern counties in most other states. Police juries range in size, depending on the population of the parish, from three to fifteen. Many parishes are quite rural and therefore have small police juries. Wide latitude is given to organize and administer the police jury's business. Like other elections in Louisiana, parish elections typically occur in odd-numbered years, and use the open primary system. (en)
