In the ceremony, fourteen motorcycles headed what local law enforcement officials called a "presidential escort." Some forty vehicles from the Bossier Parish Sheriff's office, the Bossier City and Shreveport police departments, and other agencies as well stood watch as the body was moved from the church to the cemetery. Sheriff Julius Whittington said that he had grown up three houses away from Dooley, who was Whittington's Little League [[baseball]] coach. "Who would have known? Who would have dreamed?," said Whittington, who followed Dooley as sheriff twenty-four years thereafter.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.shreveporttimes.com/story/news/local/2014/08/15/friends-colleagues-pay-tribute-dooley-funeral/14142793/|title=Friends, colleagues pay tribute to Dooley at funeral|author=Maya Lau|publisher=''The Shreveport Times''|date=August 15, 2014|accessdate=July 20, 2020}}</ref>
