This is the Vapid TARV (commonly referred to as an "ARV"), the Department's SWAT team (D Platoon) currently operates three. "ARVs" are typically referred to by law enforcement agencies as being "armored rescue vehicles" with their primary use being to transport tactical officers to and from hostile situations and to assist with the recovery and protection of civilians in harm's way during terrorist threats, hostage incidents, or encounters with large gatherings of aggressors. The ARV is designed to provide protection from a variety of small arms, explosives and IED threats. Today we had the pleasure of getting one of our ARVs serviced by our partners down at the Department of Public Works who work diligently to keep our vehicle fleet running at all times. #lspdswat #swat #dteam #metro #114 #2110 #vapid #tarv #rescue #lifesaving #savinglives #arv #armoredtruck #truck #publicworks #police #tactical

📢 - Recent roadwork on Vespucci Boulevard between Alta and Power Street On 24th of September, 2023, our Technicians replaced the water main and a manhole access; the road was closed and the traffic was diverted to a small detour in the opposite lane. The road was excavated and the faulty water pipe was searched for and replaced. After that the roadway was restored into it's natural form and was set open for the traffic. #PublicWorks #Forthebettercity #LSGOV

📢 - Recent cleaning of the Filtration plant of the Land Act Dam Department of Public Works' Technicians responded to an alarm in the #1 lift tower inside the Filtration plant of the Land Act Dam. The Technicians were able to shut down the lift tower. After an on-scene investigation, a conclusion came up that an unknown citizen had thrown a few bags of trash which unfortunately made their way into the filtration tower and completely blocked the lift mechanism. Once the obstruction was removed the tower was restored to full working order. During this time no city or county services were disrupted. #LSGOV #PublicWorks
