JTF7 is a maritime law enforcement task force created toprotect the vital infrastructure of the Greater Baton Rouge Area.The Port of Baton Rouge and the Mississippi River havealways been considered valuable yet vulnerable resources. ThePort of Baton Rouge is situated on one of the largest port systemsin the world (the lower Mississippi River port system from BatonRouge to the mouth of the Mississippi River), which containsfour of the top 11 ports in the country. The Port of BatonRouge ranks among the top 13 ports in the nation. The port isstrategically located at the convergence of the Mississippi Riverand the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, and it is the farthest inlanddeepwater port on the Mississippi river. This strategic placementmakes it the ideal location for larger petrochemical companiesand their associated industries to settle throughout the 85 milesof the Mississippi River within the port’s jurisdiction.These private sector industries are constantly faced withthe challenge of how to fulfill United States governmentaland industrial regulations set for high-risk chemical facilities,and for the waterways upon which they travel.

Sheriff Bob BuckleyPresident’s Profileby Lauren Labbé MeherThere is a hand-painted mural above the entrance to the UnionParish Sheriff’s Office that boldly states, “Through these doors passthe finest law enforcement officers on earth.” Shortly after SheriffBob Buckley took office, he had someone paint this message to inspireeveryone who passes through the doors each day. This mural is perhapsone very telling example as to why Sheriff Buckley is the longest seatedsheriff currently serving in Louisiana: he has created a people-centeredculture, focused on service before self.But these legacies that Sheriff Bob Buckley has established wereyears in the making, and Buckley has been a fixture in the Union ParishSheriff’s Office long before he first took his oath as sheriff 24 years ago.A native of Union Parish, Buckley has always had an interest inpolice work, and has known since he was eight years old that lawenforcement would be his life’s calling.While in high school, Buckley expressed an interest in working forthe Union Parish Sheriff’s Office, so the sheriff outfitted him with auniform etc. and allowed him to work as a “weekend dispatcher.”His role at Union Parish transitioned to full-time for the next fewyears as Buckley graduated from high school and attended college.Buckley’s goal was to gain as much information as possible, so thathe could do the best job possible, so when given the opportunity towork for Louisiana State Police, he welcomed the opportunity.For the next 22 years Buckley worked for the State Police servingin a variety of capacities from patrol trooper, to legislative details, toeventually becoming a detective for Troop F in Monroe.Although all of these experiences helped lead him to his ultimatecareer as sheriff, Buckley attributes his role as detective as probablyhaving the most influence.“As detective I spent a number of years working murder cases,public corruption cases, and often a variety of assignments where helpwas needed from nearby sheriff’s offices. In partnering with a varietyof sheriff’s offices I was able to see what worked, and what wouldn’twork, so when I was approached in 1990 to run for sheriff, I knew whatI wanted to do.”Although Sheriff Buckley had big dreams and plans that he wantedto implement as sheriff, when he was elected in 1990, he knew he mustfirst address the financial issues that the sheriff’s office was facing.When Buckley took office, the Union Parish Sheriff’s Officewas virtually broke, and it was also lacking in even the most basicequipment. Buckley and his Chief Civil Deputy, the late Peggy Yelton,put their heads together to develop a plan to turnaround the financialtroubles they were faced with.For the first few years, Sheriff Buckley didn’t take a full salary,because the money just wasn’t there. Buckley credits Yelton’s skillsat pinching pennies and closely analyzing every aspect of the office’sbudget in helping them turn the corner.Luckily, no money had to be borrowed to maintain the operations ofthe sheriff’s office, because within those first two years, the people ofUnion Parish passed a one cent sales tax to show their solidarity withthe Union Parish Sheriff’s Office who protected them.Once Sheriff Buckley had the office back on track financially,he was then able to implement many of his ideas developed from hisearlier years of law enforcement.His main goal was to develop a well-rounded sheriff’s office thathad the same capabilities as larger offices. Buckley understood thatwhile he may not have the equipment, finances, and manpower as largeroffices, he could still have the same level of training and caliber ofpeople on his team.Additional improvements included the establishment of 24 hourpatrol, and a new focus on the development of the sheriff’s officesdetective department. The detective department needed further trainingand equipment in order to properly handle the parish’s larger cases.In the years that followed, Buckley was also responsible for4 LOUISIANA SHERIFFimplementing a parish-wide radiosystem. This system was the first of itskind, not only for Union Parish, but alsofor the entire United States. This newsystem enabled all emergency servicesentities in the parish to communicatewith each other parish-wide viahandheld transceiver. Partnershipsstrengthened as communicationsBob Buckleybetween organizations across the parishUnion Parish Sheriffbecame easier.Louisiana Sheriffs’In order to create the well-rounded,people-centered atmosphere Buckley Association 2012-2013envisioned, the sheriff also developedcommunity partnerships with young and old through the creation ofDrug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) and Triad programs.The D.A.R.E. program enhances relations between students and lawenforcement officers through its educational program run by trainedD.A.R.E. officers.The Triad program strengthens community relations at the otherend of the spectrum by focusing on the elderly. This collaborativeeffort between the sheriff’s office and senior citizens was created toreduce and prevent crimes against seniors while addressing the specialneeds of senior citizens in Union Parish.One unique service that Triad provides is their monthly donationsof food delivered to the elderly in need. Partnering with CatholicCharities and the Northeast Louisiana Food bank, the sheriff’s officehelps distribute a 40 lb box of staples to the elderly established as “inneed” each month by the USDA.As the sheriff’s office has evolved over the past 24 years, Buckley’sphilosophy of “service before self ” becomes evident as the foundationbehind everything the Union Parish Sheriff’s Office does.Buckley’s leadership role has reached much farther than the lines ofUnion Parish though. In addition to his current role as LSA President,Buckley also serves as secretary-treasurer for the Louisiana Sheriffs’Honorary Membership Program, and for the past 20 years he has servedas the Northern District Coordinator for the LSA’s Special Task Force.When asked about his thoughts on his role as LSA president,Buckley said, “I’m honored to serve as LSA president, and lookingback at all the past president’s I’ve had the honor of serving with, everyone of them has looked out for their deputies. Our deputies are thebackbone of our sheriff’s offices, they are the first contact with thepublic, and without them we would be nothing. If I don’t do anythingelse in my tenure, I would like to pull deputies and sheriffs together andlet both parties know that this is their association, and encourage themto become an active part of it.”When Sheriff Buckley is not working with the Union ParishSheriff’s Office or the LSA, he is actively involved with the Masonsand Shriners. Buckley says he’s proud to support these organizationsand does so to honor his family who received their help after the deathof his grandfather.Although Buckley is in his seventh term as sheriff of Union Parish,he shows no signs of slowing down. He is currently completing theconstruction of the new expanded headquarters for the Union ParishSheriff’s Office. This project was ten years in the making.The new location was a necessity to better accommodate the recentgrowth of the Union Parish Sheriff’s office, and although externally,things may appear very different, inside things will remain the same.Sheriff Buckley says a new version of the mural from the old officewill be created, sending his message out to a new generation of lawenforcement officers. Along with that, the spirit of service that SheriffBob Buckley has cultivated during his time as sheriff is sure to leave alasting impression on Union Parish.
