LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Louisville Metro Police Officer Robert Oliver died Wednesday evening at University of Louisville Hospital.
A procession of officers took his body from Louisville to a Jeffersonville funeral home Wednesday night. Eric Johnson from Supporting Heroes said Oliver died after he got in a motorcycle crash several weeks ago.
He had been with LMPD for 18 years after serving on the Jeffersonville Police Department.
Oliver was responsible for signs around the city for "Lock, Take, Hide," a program he started in 2019 to help reduce car break-ins.
Oliver was a military veteran and an instructor for the Louisville Police Honor Guard.
Funeral services are still being worked out. A cause of death from the coroner's office has not been released.
