Case Summary

On April 26, 2021, the Department of Justice announced that it had opened a pattern and practice investigation of the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) to assess: all use of force, with a particular focus on use of force against individuals with behavioral health disabilities or individuals engaged in activities protected by the First Amendment; discriminatory practices in conducting stops, searches, seizures, and arrests; department policies, training, and supervision; and LMPD account…

On April 26, 2021, the Department of Justice announced that it had opened a pattern and practice investigation of the Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) to assess: all use of force, with a particular focus on use of force against individuals with behavioral health disabilities or individuals engaged in activities protected by the First Amendment; discriminatory practices in conducting stops, searches, seizures, and arrests; department policies, training, and supervision; and LMPD accountability practices. During the speech announcing the investigation, Attorney General Merrick Garland explicitly linked the investigation to LMPD's 2020 killing of Breonna Taylor, which sparked national outrage and protests. The investigation was conducted pursuant to the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 and assessed law enforcement practices under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments, the Safe Streets Act of 1968, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

On March 8, 2023, the DOJ released its findings and documented significant constitutional abuses, including: dangerous use of neck restraints against people who pose no threat; allowing dogs to bite people after surrender; conducting searches without valid warrants; racially disparate enforcement against Black people; discrimination against people with behavioral health disabilities; and inadequate response to sexual assault and domestic violence. The DOJ further outlined poor accountability and supervision within the LMPD and recommended 36 remedial measures. The City agreed to negotiate with the DOJ to reach a consent decree to be entered in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky and to be overseen by an independent third-party monitor.

The DOJ filed a complaint and a motion for approval of a consent decree on December 12, 2024. Under the consent decree, the City agreed to various policy changes, including: limiting and investigating officer uses of force, and using de-escalation techniques; mandating specific and accurate statements of probable cause for obtaining search warrants; preventing rights violations during police stops and reducing pretextual stops; reducing racial disparities in enforcement; implementing community-oriented policing; supporting outreach to unhoused people; improving responses to 911 calls involving mental health issues, including using non-police alternatives; improving oversight, training, investigation, and discipline; protecting people's right to free speech, including the right to record the police; and improving responses to reports of sexual assault, sexual misconduct, and domestic violence. The consent decree included the use of an appointed monitor to track compliance. The decree was set to last five years, contingent on the City's substantial compliance with its requirements.

The case was assigned to Judge Benjamin Beaton. Various organizations were allowed to join as amici curiae: the Heritage Foundation opposed the consent decree, while the American Civil Liberties Union and various Louisville community organizations supported it. On December 27, 2024, the union representing Louisville police officers moved to intervene in the case, arguing their interests were not represented.

The court held a hearing on the proposed consent decree on January 13, 2025, and requested briefing on various questions.  On Feb. 14, 2025, the Court agreed to extend the United States' deadline for this briefing until March 20, because the Trump Administration requested time to "brief new DOJ leadership on the matter."
