Louisville Metro Releases DOJ-Reviewed Police Incident Details Online

The administration of Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg has launched a website showing details and supporting documents regarding 62 incidents of possible Louisville police misconduct from 2016 to 2021 that U.S. Department of Justice investigators reviewed as part of their scathing report on LMPD civil rights violations. The website allows the public to examine each case and its aftermath, including the results of any internal investigation and the employment status of the officers involved. The DOJ report concluded that LMPD and Louisville Metro government "engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that deprives people of their rights under the Constitution and federal law" that includes excessive force, searches based on invalid warrants and conducting unlawful traffic and pedestrian stops.
