They are unique to the US state of Louisiana where the typical governing body of the parish (what other states refer to as a county) is called the Police Jury. Not every parish is governed by a Police Jury, but 41 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 head of the parish government. The Police Jury is very much like the commissions or councils that govern counties in most other states.
