Bossier Sheriff Deputies Honored by Louisiana State Senator Adam Bass!
Four Bossier Sheriff Deputies were honored today by Louisiana State Senator Adam Bass who presented them with a ceremonial plaque for their service and dedication to the job. K-9 deputies Corporal Cody Smith, Deputy Thomas Teutsch and Deputy Daryl Rogers were honored for their rescue efforts when a 79-year-old woman with dementia was reported missing back in January earlier this year. The deputies and their K-9’s were able to track and locate the missing woman within 24 hours in a thicket of woods off of Old Plain Dealing Road. Deputy Matthew Bragg was honored for his life saving measures when on May 26, 2023, retired Bossier City Police Captain Tood Hylbert collapsed at a “going away” party at a Bossier City restaurant with fellow law enforcement officers. Deputy Matthew Bragg, recognizing signs of severe distress, sprang into action performing chest compressions to maintain blood circulation and initiated rescue breathing to provide vital oxygen to Captain Hylbert’s lungs.
