Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and interim LMPD Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel

While the intended focus was to discuss how the city will move forward following the DOJ investigation, much of the moderated discussion repeatedly circled back to the upcoming contract negotiations.

In the report, the DOJ said they believe the Louisville Metro Police Department and Metro Government engaged in practices that violated the U.S. Constitution and federal law for years, including excessive use of force and searches based on invalid search warrants.

LMPD officials have said they understand the seriousness of the report's findings, and are working to make improvements. However, it will take time.
