Louisville Inspector General Ed Harness says he hasn't been getting the cooperation he wants -- but he's hopeful that may soon change.
In hopes of getting ahead of the findings from the Department of Justice Investigation, Louisville's mayor and police chief are outlining the fixes underway.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer shared the city's legislative priorities on Monday, prior to the start of the Kentucky General Assembly's 2022.
They say they're concerned that the board will undermine the police, making it more difficult to hire new officers.
Mayor Greg Fischer said the city has worked for months to enact reform in the wake of Breonna Taylor's death at the hands of Louisville Metro Police officers, and the oversight that comes with civilian review is "essential to democracy in our city."
Several activists said they left the meeting disappointed.
Council members are revisiting a "no confidence" resolution that asks the mayor for certain improvements.
Regular people will hold the Louisville Metro Police Department accountable — if city leaders approve a new plan.
The board hopes to come up with a legislative proposal to file with Metro Council in July.
The group will hold its first meeting Friday.
