The supervisor should assign the LL launcher to an officer as part of a larger LL plan. IMHO, training supervisors on using it, not officers, is a bad idea because the supervisors should be focused on the overall tactical planning, leadership, and management of the call instead of being tied to the LL response. Agency size and resources dictate, but that's what works for us.
