After Louisville Metro police shot and killed Breonna Taylor, local leaders promised to reform policing. Here’s where those efforts stand today.

Louisville Metro Council voted Thursday night to pay a data analytics company $350,000 for software that promises to “identify potential bias” in policing. Not every council member is convinced, though.

The Louisville Metro Police Department is proposing a $350,000 contract with a data analytics company that would help them track and monitor officer interactions for signs of bias.

Amid President Donald Trump’s call for mass deportations, Kentucky lawmakers are considering bills that would expand cooperation between local police departments and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

A directive from President Donald Trump’s administration to pause all ongoing civil rights litigation by the U.S. Department of Justice could be the beginning of the end for Louisville’s proposed consent decree.

State records show police and sheriffs seized at least $7.5 million in cash last year, but the full total is unknown.
