Irving, TX – January 9, 2006
Two DynCorp International police liaison officers were among those killed when the U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter they were in crashed in Iraq on January 7.
Arsenio Domingo, 40, and Robert Timmann, 49, were returning from leave in the United States to their camps in the Mosul region when the crash occurred Saturday in northern Iraq, killing all 12 aboard.
Domingo, of North Charleston, SC, joined DI as an international police liaison officer in August. He had worked as a Charleston Police Department law enforcement officer since 1991, and was a veteran of the U.S. Army and Army Reserves. He is survived by his wife.
Timmann, of Tallahassee, FL, also became an international police liaison officer in August. Previously, he was a Detective Sergeant with the Martin County, Florida, Sheriff´s Office, and then was a state law enforcement officer with the Florida Attorney General´s Office from 1999 until he joined DI. He is survived by his wife, a daughter, and a son.
The men were assigned to the Civilian Police Advisory Training Team (CPATT), the component of the U.S. military Multinational Security Transition Command – Iraq (MNSTC-I) responsible for the U.S.-led effort to train and equip the 135,000-member Iraqi police service. DynCorp International recruits, trains, equips and supports the 500-member U.S. contingent of trainers through a contract with the U.S. Department of State.
“We are deeply saddened by the deaths of these two fine officers, who were doing the vital work of training a new generation of professional police in Iraq,” said CEO Stephen J. Cannon.
