The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office Posse recently recognized one of its longtime volunteers for his military service and continued commitment to the local community.

During a recent presentation, Posse member Lt. Col. John Storey presented fellow Posse member Kenneth Koval, a retired Chief Master Sergeant, with a United States Air Force Veteran Pin and a Certificate of Honor. The recognition highlighted both his years of military service and his ongoing volunteer work.

Koval served 27 years in the United States Air Force, completing more than 200 combat missions, including participation in Operation Linebacker I and Operation Linebacker II.

Following his military career, Koval continued serving by volunteering with the Bossier Sheriff’s Office Posse for more than two decades. His dedication to community service extends within his family, as his daughter also volunteers with the Posse, continuing a tradition of civic involvement.

Koval’s wife, Shirley, was also recognized during the presentation with a Certificate of Appreciation and a Proud Veteran Spouse Pin in acknowledgment of her support and the sacrifices made during his years of service.

Sheriff Whittington expressed appreciation for the Koval family’s commitment, noting the value of volunteers who continue to serve their communities after their military careers conclude.
