• I am currently in the process of writing an article regarding the LSPD press release "Arrest Made During Bait Car Operation (NR035-24mp)", and I was wondering for more specific information about the operation, and the tactics utilised. I would appreciate it if the following questions could be answered to support my article:
  • Were any other individuals lured by the operation, following the arrest of Mr. Jenkins?
  • Would the directing officer be able to provide a statement on the organisation of the operation? (e.g., why he launched the operation, its success, etc.).
  • Does the LSPD commonly use bait cars to lure criminals?
  • Will the LSPD utilise more specialised tactics like the bait car operation to enhance the city's security in the future?
  Thank you for your time.

Going with the bait car also puts the Detective Bureau and the Traffic Enforcement Division together in cooperation and teamwork, a pairing of different elements of the LSPD that people may not think at first would work together with each other. The outcome of the operation solidifies the importance of these operations if we conducted one for a substantially longer period of time, then the criminals we could lure and remove from the street, remove from potentially committing more crimes would be a great amount. The operation that was hosted positively works towards our mission statement as a department; "..safeguard the lives and property of the people we serve, to reduce the incidence and fear of crime, and to enhance public safety..".
