A deal between Louisville Metro Police Department and the federal government could be in jeopardy in President Donald Trump's second term.

On December 12, Louisville Police Chief Paul Humphrey announced a so-called consent decree.

That decree called for reforms within the lmpd, including changes to the use of force, the use of search warrants and changes to internal investigations.

That followed a year long investigation after the killing of Breonna Taylor in 2020.

But The Washington Post and CNN are both reporting that the Trump Department of Justice is now stopping all consent decrees finalized in the last 90 days.

In response to all this.

Mayor Craig Greenburg put out a statement this afternoon.

Quote, Mayor Greenburg and Chief Humphrey remain committed to implementing the reforms set forth in the consent decree we signed with the DOJ.

The city is preparing to file a brief in support of the consent decree by February 18th, as requested by the judge.

Regardless of what happens in federal court.

Louisville Metro Government and Lmpd will move forward and honor our commitment to meaningful improvements and reforms and quote.
