Calcasieu Parish honors IT infrastructure administrator Lindsey Powers after 22 years

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury on April 9 recognized Lindsey Powers, infrastructure administrator in the parish Information Technology department, for 22 years of service.

Mr. Burton told the jury Powers was hired in May 2004 and remained in the same department while technology and department names changed. Burton praised Powers’s professionalism, training and customer service, saying he kept “all the communications going” and regularly updated his skills as technology evolved. Burton added that staff repeatedly described Powers as “professional, accountable, respected, and trustworthy.”

Powers accepted the plaque and thanked family and coworkers, saying, “After 22 years with the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury... it’s finally time for me to log off and start a new chapter in my life.” Colleagues and jurors offered congratulatory remarks and wished him well.

The recognition was purely ceremonial; no personnel actions or replacements were finalized during the meeting.
