THERE. HE JOINS US LIVE WITH MORE. MARK, WHY WAS THIS ADDITIONAL REVIEW DONE? WELL, VICKI, AFTER THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT CAME OUT, A LOT OF PEOPLE WANTED TO KNOW HOW MANY OF THESE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INCIDENTS IN THAT REPORT. SO LMPD AND MAYOR CRAIG GREENBERG PROMISED A FRESH LOOK AT ALL THE CASES. THERE HAVE BEEN PREVIOUS FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS ON THESE INCIDENTS, AND DISCIPLINE HAS BEEN IMPOSED ON MANY. HOWEVER, THE DISCIPLINARY PROCESS IS NOT COMPLETE ON ALL LMPD CHIEF JACQUELINE GWEN BRL NOTED 32 INVESTIGATIONS HAD ALREADY RESULTED IN 20 OFFICERS BEING DISCIPLINED FOR ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE DOJ REPORT. THOSE INCIDENTS RANGED FROM UNLAWFUL TRAFFIC STOPS TO UNCONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT OF PROTESTERS. BUT A NEW REVIEW OF CASES RESULTED IN FIVE ADDITIONAL OFFICERS BEING DISCIPLINED FOR THROWING DRINKS AT CITIZENS. ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN SERVED A PRE-TERMINATION NOTICE. THE NEW REVIEW ALSO RESULTED IN ONE OFFICER BEING DISCIPLINED AND SERVED A PRE-TERMINATION NOTICE FOR ANOTHER INCIDENT IN THE DOJ REPORT. BUT LMPD IS NOT SAYING WHICH. SO UNDER KENTUCKY STATE LAW, A LAW THAT SEEMS RIDICULOUS, QUITE FRANKLY TO ME, METRO GOVERNMENT CAN RELEASE INFORMATION ABOUT OFFICER DISCIPLINE CASES, BUT NEITHER THE CHIEF NOR I NOR ANYONE IN METRO GOVERNMENT CAN COMMENT ON THOSE CASES UNTIL THE ENTIRE APPEALS PROCESS IS COMPLETE. CHIEF GWYN BURRELL SAID DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS RANGED FROM WRITTEN REPRIMAND TO SUSPENSION TO TERMINATION, AND SOME OFFICERS ARE APPEALING THOSE DECISIONS IN THE MEANTIME, SHE SAYS, LMPD CONTINUES TO INITIATE NEW INVESTIGATIONS ON NEW COMPLAINTS UNRELATED TO THE DOJ REPORT. SINCE SHE TOOK OFFICE, SHE SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN 69 INVESTIGATIONS ON OFFICERS, WITH 39 DISCIPLINED AND SEVEN TERMINATED. FOUR CASES ARE STILL PENDING. THIS DEMONSTRATES A CULTURE OF SELF ACCOUNTABILITY AND CORRECTION GOING FORWARD. METRO COUNCIL MEMBERS TAMMY HAWKINS AND PHILIP BAKER SAY IT맥스카지노S FRUSTRATING, BUT THEY ARE STILL OPTIMISTIC ABOUT REFORMS AT LMPD. WHEN I HEAR THESE REPORTS, IT맥스카지노S ONE STEP. BUT WE GOT A LONG JOURNEY AND A LONG RACE AHEAD NOW OF THE OFFICERS DISCIPLINED FOR ACTIONS IN THE DOJ REPORT, TWO HAVE COMMITTED ADDITIONAL INFRACTIONS. CHIEF GWYN BURRELL SAYS SHE맥스카지노S CONSIDERING WHETHER TO TERMINATE THOSE OFFICERS. ALSO TODAY, MAYOR GREENBERG SAID THE CITY HAS STILL NOT RECEIVED A FIRST DRAFT OF THE FEDERAL CONSENT DECREE. THAT맥스카지노S AN ORDER THAT WILL REQUIRE THE CITY TO MAKE CERTAIN

Of the 62 incidents in the DOJ report, nearly 20 officers had already been disciplined as the result of 32 previous investigations that occurred prior to the report's release, Gwinn-Villaroel said. This year, there have been 69 investigations into complaints against officers, unrelated to the DOJ incidents, according to LMPD.
