A DOJ investigation found Louisville's city government and police department conducted practices that violated the Constitution. The investigation was launched after Louisville officers shot and killed Breonna Taylor in 2020.
The Louisville, Kentucky, city government and police department conducted practices that violated the Constitution, according to a new investigation released Wednesday by the Department of Justice.
“Police officers’ forcible and violent entry into a person’s home strikes at the heart of the constitutional protection against unreasonable government intrusion,” the report stated. “But Louisville Metro’s and LMPD’s unlawful conduct did not start in 2020.” The report also found the Louisville Police Department’s response to sexual assault and domestic violence were deficient. These deficiencies included the LMPD’s responses to sexual assault and domestic violence allegations against officers.
“This unacceptable and unconstitutional conduct erodes the community trust necessary for effective policing,” Garland said. “It is also an affront to the vast majority of officers who put their lives on the line to serve Louisville with honor. The Justice Department will work closely with Louisville Metro and LMPD to negotiate toward a consent decree and durable reforms that protect both the safety and civil rights of Louisville’s residents.
