LPD cuts ribbon on new firearm training facility

Posted

Lafayette Police cut the ribbon on their new Firearm Training Facility today.

The facility is located on Michael Ann Drive in Breaux Bridge. The police department hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony and a tour of the building this afternoon.

Having a range is going to make training much easier for our officers, a spokesman said.

“We no longer have to borrow a facility,” said range master Paul Trouard. “In the past we’ve had to beg, borrow, or steal a facility. We might have had trainings schedule and they got cancelled because the agency that had the facility had something going on, so now our guys can train 24-7.”
