About the Juvenile Services Department
The Juvenile Court for Caddo Parish is provided for under Louisiana Revised Statutes Sections 1 3:1621
through 13:1 630. The Juvenile Court has jurisdiction regarding the interest of children alleged to be
delinquent, abandoned, neglected, or otherwise in need of supervision or care.
The Court also carries on certain ancillary activities including those related to the expedited process for
establishment and enforcement of child support obligations under RS 46:236.5 and, the maintenance of a
victim of juvenile crime compensation fund under RS 13:1561.
During 2006, through the Intergovernmental Agreement between The Parish of Caddo and Caddo Parish
Juvenile Court, all programs involving care and rehabilitation of juveniles and related resources of the
Juvenile Court were transferred to the Department of Juvenile Services. The Department of Juvenile
Services was created in 2006 under ordinance 4484 by the Caddo Parish Commission and is a unit
independent of the Court.
