After a bombshell report delivered by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland earlier this month, the Department of Justice and Louisville Metro Police Department will soon negotiate on an agreement focused on ways to improve policing in Louisville.

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."
