\nThe Louisville Metro Police Department\u2019s new chief announced several officers have been disciplined after a review of a scathing report by the U.S. Department of Justice.<\/p>\n
The department also uploaded multiple related body camera videos to their transparency website for the public to see.<\/p>\n
LMPD is the only department in the country that received a list from the Department of Justice of the cases they described in their report. It was something Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel said she and her command staff fought to get.<\/p>\n
Gwinn-Villaroel said out of the 63 incidents mentioned in the report, 30 also resulted in an internal investigation by the LMPD Public Integrity and Professional Standards Units. The 30 internal investigations resulted in 20 officers being disciplined, ranging from reprimands to a termination.<\/p>\n
Several officers were disciplined for conduct unbecoming and failure to report in relation to \u201cslushy-gate,\u201d when officers would drive around town throwing the frozen drinks at people.<\/p>\n
Gwinn-Villaroel added many of the department\u2019s policies have evolved since the cases happened, some dating back to 2016. She added that she is investing in training her staff, while holding supervisors accountable too.<\/p>\n
Gwinn-Villaroel said she is looking forward to begin negotiations with the Department of Justice on the consent decree. The department has not received a draft of their proposal yet.
