The Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office will be closed for all non-essential offices on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and again on Tuesday due to the possibility of inclement winter weather.

Sheriff Stitch Guillory encourages residents to stay informed and take precautions as the weather develops.

“The safety of our community and staff is always a top priority,” Guillory said. “Please monitor your local weather for updates and ensure you are prepared for any potential impacts from the winter weather – it is always best to be prepared for whatever conditions may come our way.  You can follow the CPSO Facebook page for updates, or download the CPSO smartphone app in the App Store or Google Play by searching “Calcasieu Parish Sheriff, LA”.  The app allows you to receive emergency notifications as well as have direct access to important information.”

Residents are asked to stay off the roadway during periods of unsafe winter weather when conditions are hazardous.

CPSO deputies and essential personnel will remain on duty and ready to assist during this time.
