路易斯维尔市警察局

The City of Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government selected our legacy firm Hillard Heintze to provide a comprehensive assessment of the 路易斯维尔市警察局 (LMPD).

We analyzed specific digital LMPD data sets to determine if there were disparate outcomes or biases based on the race or ethnicity of those who interacted with LMPD personnel. The LMPD collected and analyzed the data from 2018 and 2019 in three categories: traffic stops, 调查了, 和逮捕.

We performed a general review and assessment of the LMPD’s policies, 程序 and 协议 and compared these with best or emerging practices in progressive law enforcement agencies nationally.
