W.
A.

How you been? good to see you.
Thanks for coming out today.
How you doing, sir? all right.
About 20 years ago, I started training S.
W.
A.
T.
in sniping, small arms, weapons retention, hand-to-hand.
Now and again they'll ask me to come and help them with something.
Everybody has rigorous training in S.
W.
A.
T.
, and they're all real capable guys.
for the vehicle assault, what we was planning to do is go with two stacks coming out of the bearcat from the back with shields.
Go smash in the door.
When we get up there and once you get the car down to a stop today, what we're about to do some training and dry rehearsals.
We're going to be doing an extraction of a suspect out of a vehicle, And we're going to try to do it quick, without getting anybody hurt.
have you open the door, we'll reach in, you and I go compliance on the guy down till he's handcuffed, and walk him back to the bearcat, and the exercise will pretty much be over.
Y'all ready? yep.

S.

I'm out.

Command.
>> head down, hands up.
Head down, hands up.
straight down.
Cuff.
Cuff.
this is only a demonstration.
back that up just a little bit.
But we've really got to nail it, because the moves that we practice here might save our lives on the street.
all right, guys, what was supposed to happen? And what didn't happen? Anybody have any errors? when I've got him down and that shotgun's pointed at his head, got to be careful that it's not pointed so that it could hit my hands.
okay, all right.
We'll make a correction on that.
Anybody else have any issues? No problems? Okay.
do it one more time? all right, let's go.
we are practicing for an event that we call "day in the park," which we do every year, which gives us an opportunity to reach out to the community and demonstrate our police skills.
clear! dominate! withdraw? Watch your head.
stop him right here.
All right.
Good job, everybody.
that's good, guys.
at the event, I just hope that everything goes perfect.
one, two, three.
Good job.
all right, guys, everybody gather around.
We're getting ready to get started.
all right, guys.
This particular person, he sells weed, and we have two previous purchases of marijuana from him.
narcotics-related crimes are one of the biggest problems we have in Jefferson Parish.
So narcotics is now briefing us to go out with them on a major sting operation.
purchases in the past have been behind the apartment complex that he lives in.
So the undercover person will drive behind the complex at this location and make the purchase today.
We contacted him with his cell phone today.
He said, "no problem.
Come on over.
" He has some dope.
so to build this case, our undercover agent has bought from the suspect on a number of occasions.
We've been monitoring this dealer's movements for quite some time, and today's the day that we're going to try to get in there and arrest him.
Sparky, he's going to be monitoring the transmitter.
He'll be shooting the videotape, and he'll let us know when the buy takes place, and we're going to have to move in right away.
And if y'all have any problems, you know, just follow the procedures, okay? Any questions? drug dealers are often armed.
They're warring with each other.
They're always trying to take each other out.
You might have a drug dealer who's also an addict, and so this is the reason why we kind of have a big team this time, to make sure we're safe.
all right, guys.
You all about ready to roll? all right.
I'll stick with you, then.
yes, sir.
Thanks.
you know, some of them, when you get up on them the right way, you don't give them the opportunity to run or shoot, and that's kind of what I'm hoping to do, is, come so good that they don't want a piece of that.
They just don't want any of it.
just let us know when you're ready to go.
if he decides to run when he sees us, we're jumping him.
he's 5'8" tall, so Johnny and my team are following us in the SUV.
We're going to try and make sure the area around the buy is going to be secure.
the narcotics unit also has eight unmarked vehicles surrounding the apartment complex.
we have a trail of cars; we have transport vehicles; we have support vehicles That are also part of this operation.
the surveillance is already in position so they can feed us real-time information on our target.
they're back in there? Our undercover person's making a call to the bad guy right now.
we've got to just kind of stay back and wait for undercover agent to make the buy.
there's no police in sight, right? mm-mmm.
once he make the purchase, he's going to give us the go-ahead signal, and we're going to move in.
He should be pulling up any second now.
there goes our undercover.
we have to take him down this time also.
kind of rough, you know? oh, yeah.
Make it look good.
10-4.
All right, the undercover agent just made contact with the bad guy.
We don't have any history of what he's about.
And he can be dangerous person So we're taking extra precaution on him.
Might have a good deal, and sometimes you have a bad deal Where we don't make it home.
this guy ain't outrunning me.
It's time for the takedown now.
Everybody's adrenaline is pumping.
We have to stay focused.
One wrong move, and anybody could get hurt.
he made the buy.
Move in.
we're going to take him down.
I'm going to jump out and chase his ass down.
All right, let's go.
all Joe, move in.
all right, let's go.
right there.
him.
Him.
Get out the way.
Get out the way.
Get him out of the truck.
Let me see your hands.
Let me see your hands.
put your hands-- let me see your hands.
get on the ground! get on the ground.
come over here.
we just arrived on the scene.
Undercover agent made the purchase of marijuana.
And we're going to effect our arrest for the undercover sale for today.
.
no, sir.
huh? no, sir.
yes, sir.
all right.
we're placing the target under arrest at this time.
we've also need to make a show by arresting our undercover agent in order to maintain his credibility in case we have to use him again in this area.
what you call this? marijuana.
why are you hiding your face? he thinks my name is Stallone.
it's not Mr.
Stallone.
you take care of you wife.
She told me she's pregnant.
Is that right? So you know what that means? That means be cool and stop getting into trouble, you hear me? All right? And I said, "look," you know? "you got a young wife.
She's pregnant.
" I said, "why don't you get out of selling drugs "and just, you know, get into something legitimate and get straight?" So jails are full of kids like this, and that's why we have these different outreach programs, You know, like Day in the Park where we can show them that they don't have to sling drugs or go to a life of crime.
all right, stop worrying.
>>all right.
y'all ready? yeah, let's go.
saddle up! that white boy called me Mr.
Stallone.
How funny is that? >> Mr.
Stallone.
all right, let's saddle up.
coming out for the second watch and work right through the third watch, And we're going to try to make this city a better place to live this evening by looking for these knuckleheads that's tearing up this city.
this is my vest.
Does this make me look fat? Chief Seagal wants me to wear this, but I'm not.
let's get something good.
1152, this is 2025.
Please be on your guard in this neighborhood.
copy that.
we're patrolling some drug-infested areas that are in the Marrero section of Jefferson Parish.
Drug addicts need their fix, and these are the places where you have to come to get your fix.
when we come through here, a lot of the bad folks usually run from the police.
Sometimes they'll throw the guns; They'll throw the drugs.
We find drugs and guns in bushes on the grass and ground, anywhere.
So we just try to stay on high alert.
Hang on.
Hang on.
Let me just look at these guys for a second.
There ain't nothing wrong with him.
see that blue car over there? I wonder that they're doing.
all right, copy that.
that blue car.
Let's get that blue car.
Him right here.
You see him? oh, he just put it in his mouth.
He just put it in his mouth.
he's running.
Come here! Come here, boy! let's go.
he's headed west.
Come on, get in the car.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Come on.
you guys got to gain quick.
Quick, quick, quick, quick.
Go to.
suspects just ran.
We'll try to cut them off.
where you saw the guy run? that way? Thank you.
he's going back the other way.
Go back the other way.
he's going to come out the middle.
police! We're going to send in the dog! the teen went where? somebody in there? In your house? Lawrence! units, come back to Singleton.
this guy's just run into this person's home.
That makes it much more dangerous, because they might feel trapped and they could try anything.
Sheriff's Office! he's running.
Come here, boy! units, come back to Singleton.
the suspect who's running from us, we just got a call of a lady saying somebody just ran into her house.
We're going there right now.
lady advised the possible subject's in her house.
ma'am, they went in here? yeah! Sheriff's Office! we always have to be ready for anything.
Here we have a potentially volatile situation.
We have no idea if the subject is armed.
if you're in the closet, you're about to have a miserable day! we might have to fire a weapon.
It's not something I want to do, but make no mistake, I will shoot to protect myself or my team.
headquarters, we're inside the house looking for the subject.
nothing.
Clear.
you looked under this bed here? Behind the beds on the walls? yes, sir.
anybody was in this house? yeah, the lady.
as far as your house, the inside of it is secure.
We even went in the attic.
okay.
let's go! what do you got, Lawrence? we high-tailed it over here and ran through the house, and he's no longer there, so we're going to keep on going.
that dude went through there.
he went through there? he went through there, and he kept trucking that way because he didn't come back.
Because I was weeding right there-- he didn't double back? no.
I don't know why the guy ran from us.
He may have had a gun.
He may have had drugs.
criminals almost always hang out in the same neighborhoods.
So believe me.
We'll see this guy again.
some of the people living back here were complaining about the 107s, suspicious persons-- and burglaries.
and the burglaries they had back here.
man, we're just looking in bad neighborhoods for bad guys.
Well, we just got a call about some 107s, suspicious people, driving a red truck in the area.
Just hang on.
Let me just look at these guys for a second.
This red pickup up here just don't look right to me.
It might just be the one we got the call about, so let's pull him over and take a look.
all right.
let me look at these guys.
yeah.
turn the truck off! Let me see your hands, partner! everybody put their hands-- there you go.
step out, partner.
To the back.
passenger.
Passenger.
step out, boss.
get up on that.
can you shut up? Get back there on the side.
look that way, brother.
Look that way.
just chill out a minute, you hear? I want an autograph.
if you don't shut up, I'm going to give you one.
I'm going to give you a good one.
you heard me? What y'all doing back here? you just taking a ride? Back there? what you got in this pocket? I need you run one for me, please.
do me a favor.
Give me your last name.
he's just taking a ride.
Through that place.
so just be cool, you hear? going to run a record check on them and everything will be all right.
what you been arrested for? huh? what you been arrested for? hands on the car.
we did't find anything in the car.
But the driver, he admitted to Dyess that he was on probation.
how did you get arrested to be put on probation? What was the first charge? possession of what? we'll see if it comes up when we run him on NCIC.
so we just ran him, but he's not wanted at this time, so we're going to let it fly.
all right.
He's good to go.
can I shake your hand? okay, listen.
Y'all want to come to a Day in the Park tomorrow? Lafreniere Park.
there are times when Steven's fame becomes a distraction.
I don't see no stunt people.
but he knows how to use it to our advantage.
I know you're excited to see him, but I want you to be excited to see me.
tomorrow.
I'll give it to you tomorrow.
okay.
Tomorrow.
all right.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
have a nice day, officers.
all right, thank you all.
they're going home, and we're going on.
We're getting ready to wrap it up for the night.
I told them to come on over for a Day in the Park tomorrow And, you know, become friends with the Sheriff's Office and help our community.
today what we're doing is, we're having a Day in the Park.
It's like an open house for the community, where the Sheriff's Office gets to show all of the tools that we use on a day-to-day basis fighting crime.
this is our chance to go out and shake hands with the public and promote our friendship with the community.
we got our badge on.
come on, you can do it! Go ahead, Babe Ruth.
immediately following hurricane Katrina, we realized that we were a little inadequate when it came to special type of equipment.
But with some assistance of federal money, we were able to purchase some mobile command centers, this new state-of-the-art S.
W.
A.
T.
vehicle, a helicopter.
And we're in good shape now at this point to be able to handle any disaster that comes this way.
all right.
see you in a few minutes, daddy-o.
unfortunately, when we rehearsed this, we didn't get to use the helicopter, so I hope this one works out okay.
how we doing? getting excited.
today we're going to be doing a S.
W.
A.
T.
team demonstration where we'll actually have what is believed to be an armed suspect inside of a vehicle.
The S.
W.
A.
T.
team, with the assistance of our air support unit, will come in, drop two operatives off of the front of the skids of the helicopter.
touchdown! move! they will join the ground force, and as they move forward to extract the suspect from the vehicle safely head down! Hands up! and take him away.
stay down.
stay down.
stay down.
clear! clear! dominate! Dominate! stand.
Hold.
there was no mistakes.
No hiccups.
It was a very good extraction.
I thought everybody did perfect.
With this kind of public relations, our idea is to be able to try to make a relationship with the kids.
If we can convince one kid yo stay straight or get straight, that's worth more than anything to us.
all right.
Good job, everybody.
Yeah.
and the truck saw a body in the driveway.
He's laying on the ground? He's about 5'3.

and the burglaries they had back here.
man, we're just looking in bad neighborhoods for bad guys.
Well, we just got a call about some 107s, suspicious people, driving a red truck in the area.
Just hang on.
Let me just look at these guys for a second.
This red pickup up here just don't look right to me.
It might just be the one we got the call about, so let's pull him over and take a look.
all right.
let me look at these guys.
yeah.
turn the truck off! Let me see your hands, partner! everybody put their hands-- there you go.
step out, partner.
To the back.
passenger.
Passenger.
step out, boss.
get up on that.
can you shut up? Get back there on the side.
look that way, brother.
Look that way.
just chill out a minute, you hear? I want an autograph.
if you don't shut up, I'm going to give you one.
I'm going to give you a good one.
you heard me? What y'all doing back here? you just taking a ride? Back there? what you got in this pocket? I need you run one for me, please.
do me a favor.
Give me your last name.
he's just taking a ride.
Through that place.
so just be cool, you hear? going to run a record check on them and everything will be all right.
what you been arrested for? huh? what you been arrested for? hands on the car.
we did't find anything in the car.
But the driver, he admitted to Dyess that he was on probation.
how did you get arrested to be put on probation? What was the first charge? possession of what? we'll see if it comes up when we run him on NCIC.
so we just ran him, but he's not wanted at this time, so we're going to let it fly.
all right.
He's good to go.
can I shake your hand? okay, listen.
Y'all want to come to a Day in the Park tomorrow? Lafreniere Park.
there are times when Steven's fame becomes a distraction.
I don't see no stunt people.
but he knows how to use it to our advantage.
I know you're excited to see him, but I want you to be excited to see me.
tomorrow.
I'll give it to you tomorrow.
okay.
Tomorrow.
all right.
I'll see you all tomorrow.
have a nice day, officers.
all right, thank you all.
they're going home, and we're going on.
We're getting ready to wrap it up for the night.
I told them to come on over for a Day in the Park tomorrow And, you know, become friends with the Sheriff's Office and help our community.
today what we're doing is, we're having a Day in the Park.
It's like an open house for the community, where the Sheriff's Office gets to show all of the tools that we use on a day-to-day basis fighting crime.
this is our chance to go out and shake hands with the public and promote our friendship with the community.
we got our badge on.
come on, you can do it! Go ahead, Babe Ruth.
immediately following hurricane Katrina, we realized that we were a little inadequate when it came to special type of equipment.
But with some assistance of federal money, we were able to purchase some mobile command centers, this new state-of-the-art S.
W.
A.
T.
vehicle, a helicopter.
And we're in good shape now at this point to be able to handle any disaster that comes this way.
all right.
see you in a few minutes, daddy-o.
unfortunately, when we rehearsed this, we didn't get to use the helicopter, so I hope this one works out okay.
how we doing? getting excited.
today we're going to be doing a S.
W.
A.
T.
team demonstration where we'll actually have what is believed to be an armed suspect inside of a vehicle.
The S.
W.
A.
T.
team, with the assistance of our air support unit, will come in, drop two operatives off of the front of the skids of the helicopter.
touchdown! move! they will join the ground force, and as they move forward to extract the suspect from the vehicle safely head down! Hands up! and take him away.
stay down.
stay down.
stay down.
clear! clear! dominate! Dominate! stand.
Hold.
there was no mistakes.
No hiccups.
It was a very good extraction.
I thought everybody did perfect.
With this kind of public relations, our idea is to be able to try to make a relationship with the kids.
If we can convince one kid yo stay straight or get straight, that's worth more than anything to us.
all right.
Good job, everybody.
