KAPLAN - Over the past month, the Kaplan Police Department has been hard at work issuing tickets to drivers.
How hard at work?
Over the last four weeks, the Kaplan police have issued nearly 500 tickets. The tickets written range from speeding, window tint being too dark, texting while driving, running a stop sign, burnt-out taillights, and not turning on their signal when turning.
But the most popular ticket issued over the last four weeks is speeding.

At some point in the future, the Vermilion Parish landfill will reach its capacity and come to an end.
That remains several years down the road, and officials with the Vermilion Parish Police Jury, which operates the site, are working constantly to extend the 135-acre landfill’s lifespan.
One way the jury is doing that is by adding acreage. Last year, the jury purchased six acres that connect to the landfill.
