Phillip was born
February 23, 1971. He is married to the former Gina Mayeux
and presently resides in the Fifth Ward area of Avoyelles Parish. He is
the father of two girls, Allie who is 12 and Rachel who is 9.
Phillip attended Bunkie Elementary, Bunkie
Middle and Bunkie High schools, graduating in May 1989. Following
his graduation Phillip was employed part time with the Bunkie Police
Department and for 6 years was a full time Deputy with
the Avoyelles Parish Sheriff's Department.
Phillip was enrolled in the
Louisiana State Police Academy in December 1995 and graduated in
March 1996. He was a previous graduate of the Alexandria Police
Academy and since being with the Louisiana State Police has satisfactorily
completed the Accident
Reconstruction Course and Drug Recognition Course.
Phillip is son of Johnny & Ruth
Tagliarino and grew up on Walnut Street with his sister, JoElla Tagliarino
Bott, presently a resident of Houston, TX. His father retired from the
US Army as a Chief Warrant Officer and from the Louisiana Department of
Revenue as the Collection Manager, Alexandria Region. His mother
retired from Bunkie Elementary School where she was the school secretary.
Phillip was all
boy growing up. He played baseball and football and also loves to hunt
and fish. Our father is a
diehard sports fanatic who also
coached and umpired. I can remember 2 TV's in our living room at once!!!
Our parents brought us to many LSU football games and Houston Astro games.
Nothing like LSU football and Mama's fried chicken!
He has lots of
lifelong friends due to church and
school, many whom still live in the area. We belong to First Baptist
Church, Bunkie, LA. He was part of the RA's and sang in the
choir. He attended many summer camps growing up.
Phillip and I
were both adopted and grew up knowing that we were special children. We
were so blessed with wonderful parents who have stood beside us through thick
and thin. Everyone loves our parents. I can remember us wanting to
prick our fingers so we could mix our blood to be "real" brother and
sister. They couldn't have picked a better person for me to have as a
sibling.
I am very proud
of his accomplishments. Just to know that he saved one life due to a
drunk driver is so wonderful. We should all realize that a designated
driver is a must!!! No matter what!!! Parents should let their
children know that if they do drink and cannot drive that they will pick them
up wherever they are, no questions asked. Our parents always told us
this and they meant it. Some of us learn this lesson the hard way.

class of 1989, Tagliarino has punched about every educational and
experience ticket to become the Louisiana State trooper he is today.
His latest accomplishments were recently highlighted by numerous
media coverage. The Alexandria
