List of parishes in Louisiana
The U.S. state of Louisiana is divided into 64 parishes (French: "paroisses") in the same manner that 48 other states of the United States are divided into counties, and Alaska is divided into boroughs.
Sheriffs in the United States
Orleans Parish now has one sheriff Marlin N. Gusman, with the new Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office combining the following two offices into one office in accordance with Louisiana Revised Statute 33:1500. This statute required the Orleans Parish criminal and civil sheriffs' offices to be merged into one office by 2010 as a result of legislation passed to merge the Criminal and Civil Courts into one consolidated district court, as in all other Louisiana parishes.
