Sabine Parish is governed by a 9-Member Police Jury.
The general responsibility of the Police Jury is to levy the necessary taxes and administer the spending of said funds for many parish operations. The authority of the Police Jury extends to all territory in the Parish which lies outside of an incorporated city, town, or village. Some responsibilities of the Police Jury apply to citizens within incorporated areas of the Parish as well.
The Police Jury performs several executive functions. It is the administrator of public property which belongs to the Parish, such as the parish courthouse. Other duties of the Police Jury include such things as maintenance of the parish road, bridge and drainage system, regulation of traffic and speed limits on parish roads, adoption of subdivision regulations, zoning regulations relative to the most appropriate use of property. The Police Jury is also responsible for establishing precinct boundaries for election purposes and the polling place for voting within each precinct.
The Police Jury must furnish funds to pay for the manpower, equipment, and supplies needed to conduct the various operations of the Parish. It must also pay either all or part of the operations and salaries of some elected officials of the Parish, as instructed by State Law, and is responsible for financing the operations of the District Court, except the salaries of the District Judges.
The parish is divided into nine geographic districts, from which each a parish police juror is elected for a four-year term. The district lines were most recently updated in 2002, following the 2000 reapportionment.
