LMPD Chief Steve Conrad

In a one-on-one interview Wednesday, Conrad said he understands the recent violence is causing a lot of concern and said that, despite the budget cuts, the trend will change if the right people speak up.

During a Facebook Q&A on Tuesday with Mayor Greg Fischer about public safety and the coronavirus, Conrad discussed steps the department is taking to keep officers healthy, like doing roll call over radios and making sure police have protective gear.

It’s a Mother’s Day weekend so violent in Louisville, community activist Christopher 2X was almost at a loss for words.
