The Claiborne Parish Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents and visitors to respect handicap parking spaces throughout the parish.

Officials emphasize that parking in a designated handicap spot without the proper permit is illegal and can result in a citation. These spaces are reserved for individuals with disabilities to ensure safe and convenient access to businesses, public buildings, and community facilities.

The sheriff’s office encourages everyone in Claiborne Parish to follow parking regulations and help maintain accessibility for those who need it.
