Traffic Division/Tickets

The Traffic Section receives all traffic citations issued by the Louisiana State Police and Jefferson Davis Sheriff's Office.  If you have received a traffic citation from one of these agencies please read the following questions and answers for help in determining how to resolve your citation:

What options do I have when I receive a traffic citation?

1.  You may pay the citation before the court date.

2.  Appear in court on the date noted on the citation to contest the citation and you will receive a trial date.

What court do I contact?

The top of the citation will have the proper court.  In Jefferson Davis Parish it will have one of the following:

1.  31st Judicial District Court                3.  Lake Arthur City Court

     (337) 824-1893 or                                  (337-774-2211

2.  Jennings City Court                            4.  Welsh City Court       

     (337) 821-5514 (Press 6)                          (337) 734-2231

We do not offer a driver's safety class as an option to resolve your citation.
