Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Calcasieu Parish, LACounty

The Department's Calcasieu Parish office serves veterans, their families and survivors. It is at 1000 Ryan Street, Lake Charles 70601 (mailing P.O. Box 544, Lake Charles 70602), 337-491-2312, open Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The officer is Jason Cole. The office helps with compensation, pension, education and other federal and state claims, and a veteran receiving the Louisiana Veterans Honor Medal can ask for it to be presented at the parish service office. The parish police jury's site answers "Access Denied" (Akamai) to every automated fetch, and the assessor's site is a JavaScript-only app with no readable text, so no parish-run program or assessor entry is recorded beyond the clerk's.
