LAPD S.W.A.T. and Glock?

Hello! I've heard that the LAPD just recently switched over to Glock pistols. Any chance that their S.W.A.T. team will switch over as well?

LAPD has approved Glocks as one weapon among others that officers may carry. As for LAPD D Platoon, I understand that they are quite content with their Kimbers, although I'm sure individual officers will use Glocks as they desire and as the mission calls for.
