The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office is deeply saddened to report the tragic death of
one of our own.
At approximately 8:00 a.m. this morning, Deputy Tim Jordan, a four-year veteran
of the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, was struck by a train while working a traffic
assignment. Preliminary information indicates Deputy Jordan may have misjudged
the proximity of his vehicle in relation to the train track.
Deputy Jordan was immediately transported to Ochsner LSU Hospital, where he
later succumbed to his injuries.
Bossier Parish Sheriff Julian Whittington stated, “This is an extremely difficult day
for the Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office, Deputy Jordan’s family, and his fellow
deputies. Deputy Jordan was a dedicated public servant who took pride in
protecting the citizens of Bossier Parish, and his loss is deeply felt throughout our
agency and community.”
The Louisiana State Police are leading the investigation into this incident.
The Bossier Parish Sheriff’s Office asks that the public keep Deputy Jordan’s
family, friends, and coworkers in their prayers during this incredibly difficult time.
Additional information will be released as it becomes available.
