Beyond “A Few Bad Apples”: Transparency and Accountability for Louisville Metro Police Department 

Please join us for an informative and deep Conversation with Louisville Inspector General, Edward Harness, and Attorney Kellie Watson, Chair of the Civilian Review and Accountability Board, which was created in the wake of Breonna Taylor’s murder. This discussion will focus on implementing the changes mandated by the Department of Justice in Louisville’s pending consent decree. We’ll talk about the work of the accountability board as well as obstacles and challenges to true police oversight. We’ll look to other cities who’ve fulfilled consent decrees and the successes or difficulties they’ve met. Mostly we’ll consider how the Department of Justice Investigation Report can make Louisville a better and more equitable city—and how all of us can contribute to that process.
