4 FROM THE SHERIFF (Continued from page 1) Left, Roy Rawls stands guard at a wreath commemorating fallen peace officers. Right, Chief Julian Whittington, representing the Bossier Sheriff s Office, salutes. (Continued from page 1) while serving in a law enforcement capacity, be sure to tell them how much you appreciate them. It has been 55 years since the Bossier Sheriff s Office has lost a deputy in the line of duty. Maurice Miller was gunned down during a standoff about four miles south of Taylortown in His family still feels the pain of their loss and we sympathize with them. The loss of one life is too much, but we are fortunate no one in the Bossier Sheriff s Office has been 4 killed in the line of duty since then. I believe God has had His hand on our deputies and we pray that all of our people will continue to be the objects of His favor. There are many individuals and organizations dedicated to helping the surviving families of those who have died in the line of duty. One of the best organizations at the national level is COPS (Concerns of Police Survivors, Inc.). It was formed in May 1984 and was designed to give emotional support to all police survivors, regardless of the fallen officers law enforcement affiliation. Today, 25 years later, COPS has trained thousands of law enforcement officers to help them deal with line-of-duty deaths, not only for the surviving family but also the affected agency, co-workers and the community. It was Jesus who said, Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Once again, we say, Thank you, to those who were willing to give up life itself in order to serve and protect.

7 Volume 11, Issue 5 News of the Bossier Sheriff s Posse May 2009 Tyeskey left sleepy plantation for military adventures As he was lifted out of Vietnam via helicopter from his straight leg (other-than-airborne) infantry position, Preston Tyeskey noticed the aviation guys wearing fancy uniforms, shiny boots and name tags. Little did he know, on his second trip to Vietnam, he would be wearing that same uniform. Preston Tyeskey was born in Turnertown, Texas, May 28, He moved to Eastpoint, La., between Coushatta and Shreveport, and spent most of his younger years there. He worked on a plantation while he was in school, but by 11th grade, was fed up with the miniscule $2.50 a day he was making. There was no way he could survive on his own forever with that kind of pay. So, Tyeskey packed his bags and headed for Shreveport. His first job in the big city was at the Tote-A-Bag at the corner of Western Avenue and Milam Street. He was employed there for seven months. In September, he met Betty, the love of his life. They were married in April 1963, and he began working with her brother at his service station at the corner of Centenary and Kings Highway. After working there for one year and eleven months, he was recruited to join the United States Army. While he was at Fort Polk for basic Tyeskey training, his wife moved back in with her mother. Tyeskey went to Fort Gordon, Ga., for AIT training. Soon after he made what he calls his first mistake. He went to Fort Benning, Ga., for jump school. Tyeskey said, there was absolutely no need to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. So he quit and went AWOL because they wouldn t let him return home to see his wife. He automatically received a nonjudicial form of administrative discipline authorized by Article 15 of the U.S. Uniform Code of Military Justice, and was sent to Korea in mechanized infantry tank support for his first tour. He went in as a Private E2 with an Article 15 and was there for 13 months, leaving as a Sergeant E5. After Korea, he was transferred to Germany, where he and his wife lived for 40 months. He mostly trained while there. He reenlisted but was not awarded the bonus or job he wanted because of his Article 15. From there, he was sent to Vietnam in straight leg infantry near Pleiku. For ten months, he and his platoon looked for foot traffic on the island by walking it everyday. After leaving Vietnam, he was sent to Fort Ord, Calif., where he taught mechanized infantry squad proficiency. Trying to avoid being sent back to Vietnam in infantry, he told his supervisor that he wanted to be in aviation, where he d get to wear shiny boots, fancy uniforms and a name tag. So he went to Fort Rucker, Ala., to learn helicopter maintenance for the UH-1. He graduated from school in March 1971 and was sent back to Vietnam the following May. During the two months before his second Vietnam deployment, he moved his wife back to Shreveport. He moved her into a house on Hollywood Avenue, not knowing that it was a bad neighborhood. Not long after he left, a bullet came through the bedroom window as a result of a gunfight at a local club. Betty packed her things, and, by the end of the week, was living in Texas with her husband s family. After he returned, he was sent to (Continued on next page) 7

8 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID BENTON, LA PERMIT NO. 33 The Posse Press (Continued from page 7) Fort Sill, Okla., but they were reducing helicopter maintenance personnel, so he went to Fort Rucker, Ala., again to train for the Bell Ranger. Then in 1973, he graduated from training on the CH-47, too. And that CH-47 training led him to Enuth, Okla., where he saw and assisted Pres. Richard M. Nixon. After the president stepped from the plane, it was Tyeskey s job to collect the memorabilia from the aircraft. So, he kept everything he could while his friends only got photos of Nixon. From there he traveled to Fort Sill, Okla., again and Fort Bragg, N.C., where he participated in some top-secret missions. In 1977, he and his family went back to Germany. There, he was promoted out of a job and sent to work in the community affairs office to work with 21 civilians, who all happened to be female. Tyeskey said that of all his time in the army those nine months working with those ladies was the hardest. In this position, he and the 21 civilians worked together with soldiers and their families to help stop abuse and other family issues. He was transferred to Fort Lee, Va., and Fort Stewart, Ga., before returning to Germany for the third time. In 1984, the family decided to move back to The States, and came to Fort Eustis, Va. He retired from Fort Eustis in Among the nine honors he received, Tyeskey bears a Bronze Star, an Air Medal, a Good Conduct Medal, and the Vietnam Cross of gallantry. The Tyeskey family moved back to Bossier, where Mr. Tyeskey worked at the Barksdale Air Force Base BX, and then as a campus police officer at Centenary College. Now he is completely retired, aside from being a substitute crossing guard at Bossier elementary and middle schools, and has been a Posse member since The Tyeskeys have a son, a daughter, Tabitha, and a grandson named Tristan who attends Haughton High School.
