Nine months ago 5 selectees began the LSPD SWAT selection course. The nine month process entails a 12 week SWAT school and 6 month operational performance evaluation. During the 12 week tactical course, selectees must demonstrate and perform a variety of technical and tactical skills under extreme evaluation. Selectees are introduced and tested in numerous disciplines. The disciplines range from firearms proficiency, tactical movement, crisis negotiations, and other additional LE specialized skill sets. Upon graduating the qualification course, selectees continue with a six month operational evaluation. At the successful completion of the nine month process, these Officers have earned the title of LSPD SWAT Officer. #dteam #lspdswat #2110 #qualityoverquantity #earnyourreputation #lossantos
