It is encouraging, in today’s world of politics, to have an elected official, like Ouachita Parish Clerk of Court Dana Benson, who has actually done what she said she was going to do.
As a candidate and when elected Clerk of Court, Benson proposed to make the Ouachita Parish Clerk’s Office more cost efficient and user friendly for the public by:
- Saving money by utilizing one software program, Software & Services, which is much more user- friendly and costs less, rather than two separate systems.
- Maintaining an up-to-date, user-friendly website that gives citizens greater access to information, with a focus on converting to digital records to make information more easily accessible.
- E-filing for the Civil and Criminal Department.
- Providing for more staff training, including cross-training, to have all deputies certified as quickly as possible in order to provide better service to the public.
