"CAN DO, WILL DO" LSPD METROPOLITAN DIVISION The primary responsibility of Metro is to provide support to the Department’s community-based policing efforts by enhancing community outreach efforts, providing advanced level of in-service training, providing support to Area and specialized detectives locating known, violent criminals, providing resources for warrant services, and the apprehension of fugitives throughout the city. Other assignments range from high-risk barricaded situations, stakeouts, dignitary (VIP) security, warrant service, training Department personnel in tactics and firearms along with assisting investigators in solving major crimes. Originally, Metro was known as the Reserve Unit, hence the “R” radio designation assigned to all current Metro units. In the early years, Metro was in Room 114 of the Police Administrative Building (PAB). The designation of “114” for Metro Headquarters has remained, although the division has relocated several times since. D-PLATOON (SWAT) "D" Platoon, or SWAT, in addition to its crime suppression assignments, has the duty of handling those situations where SWAT is necessary. SWAT provides the Department with 24-hour coverage necessary for immediate response to barricaded suspects, snipers, and other high-risk incidents. Rapid deployment, surprise, extensive tactics training and thorough planning are the hallmark of successful SWAT operations. SWAT makes extensive use of crisis negotiation training and techniques to resolve the many barricade, hostage, and potential suicide-related situations to which they are required to respond.
