Today, Mayor Craig Greenburg announced several investments in the police department, including signing bonuses.
We have hundreds of openings to fill throughout Lmpd, as well as in corrections, EMS and the Louisville Metro Emergency Management Agency.
That's why today I'm also announcing our plan to reinstate hiring and relocation bonuses for employees in each of these four critical departments.
These bonuses had been in effect until the end of 2022, using American Rescue Plan funds.
This proposal is pending a final vote from the full Metro Council on amendments which are approved by the Metro Council Budget Committee.
Last week.
That vote will allow our government to reinstate these recruitment bonuses immediately.
We'll be able to pay these bonuses to recruits who join by December 31st, 2024.
Mayor Greenburg also said Louisville would spend $14 million in American Rescue Plan money to continue renovations on a new police headquarters in the old AT&T building downtown.
And Louisville will put a building to use as a police wellness center so officers can receive physical, mental and spiritual support.
