Claiborne Parish Police Jury Office of Community Services is a public agency that was formed as a private, non-profit corporation in July, 1965, to aid the poor and disabled of Claiborne Parish. In June 1986, it was made a part of the Claiborne Parish Police Jury. This agency operates the only public transportation system in Claiborne Parish available to all residents of the parish, regardless of age or income.
