The Jena Police Department announced a change to its in-office citation payment procedures, effective Tuesday, as officials updated accepted forms of payment for individuals paying citations in person.

Beginning immediately, the department stated it would only accept money orders for all citation payments made at the office. The policy change applied to all citation-related transactions handled directly through the department’s office services.

The department expressed appreciation to the public for their understanding and cooperation as the new procedure took effect.

Residents were encouraged to ensure they complied with the updated payment method when handling citation payments in person moving forward.
