The group is part of the first lateral-graduating class for Metro Corrections, which means the officers came from other departments and agencies.

The city is hiring two Public Services Assistant Chiefs and a consultant who is an expert in jail deaths.

Matt Golden will oversee emergency services, Metro Corrections and Louisville Fire, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer's office announced Thursday.

The former head of the FBI's Cyber Response unit says she wants to spend more time with her family.

Last month, the panel that interviewed candidates for the position was united behind one person for the job, according to David James, a committee member and the Metro Council president.

Mayor Greg Fischer told the Louisville Forum earlier this month that he expected to name a new Louisville Metro Police Department chief around January 1. 

The judge said she wouldn't hold Schroeder in contempt of court if he testifies to the committee next Monday.

In Tuesday's ruling, a judge said Chiefs Hess and Schroeder, as witnesses subpoenaed by Metro Council, "do not have a right to insist that their testimony occur privately, shielded from public view."

The legal battle is set after interim LMPD Chief Robert Schroeder and Public Safety Chief Amy Hess refused to testify publicly before a Metro Council committee.

Hess said LMPD officers are working to make sure mobile caravans do not follow protesters on foot.
