Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington and members of the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office hosted a holiday luncheon at the Viking Drive Substation to recognize the Bossier Sheriff’s Office Posse and Ladies Auxiliary for their volunteer service.
Approximately 100 guests attended the gathering, which provided an opportunity for fellowship and recognition of the volunteers who dedicate their time to serving Bossier Parish.
The luncheon began with an opening prayer from Chaplain Jay Valentine, followed by remarks from Sheriff Whittington, who expressed appreciation for the Posse members and their continued commitment to the department and community.
Guests enjoyed a meal of meat, potatoes, bread and cobbler provided by Silver Star. Each attendee also received a Bossier Sheriff’s Office sweatshirt as a token of appreciation.
The Sheriff’s Posse has a long history of community service, with volunteers assisting the Sheriff’s Office through vacation home checks, funeral escorts, traffic control, community events and other duties supporting deputies and residents throughout Bossier Parish.
“The Posse is a tremendous asset to our department and our community. These men and women volunteer their time because they believe in serving others and making a difference. Their commitment and willingness to give back mean more than they probably realize, and we are fortunate to have them as part of our team,” Whittington said.
The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office expressed gratitude to the Posse and Ladies Auxiliary for their dedication, willingness to serve and contributions to the community throughout the year.
