Areas of improvement

Exclusive definition

Sexual harassment now has its own exclusive definition in the LMPD policy. Previously, it was lumped in with other forms of harassment and racial discrimination.

Reporting process

The reporting process is being streamlined, internally and externally. Internally, previously, it was reported through the chain of command, unless there was a conflict.

Now, an officer or a member is no longer prohibited or inhibited by policy to report to anyone. They can report directly to the special investigations, through their chain of command. They can report directly to the chief's office or to LMPD Human Resources.

Externally, they can report to the office of the Inspector General, Ethics Tip line or Metro Human Resources.

More training

There will be better and more thorough training for the entire body of LMPD, including for civilian staff, command staff and officers, Humphrey said.

He said they have already begun training with executive staff and command staff, put on last week by the Jefferson County Attorney's Office, to better understand both the policy reporting requirements, signs and symptoms and behaviors that are acceptable and unacceptable in the workplace.

    He said they are developing training on how to report incidents, what to do if someone has witnessed sexual harassment and the appropriate response for those receiving and or handling reports of sexual harassment.

    They will be initiating specific training for people who will investigate claims of sexual harassment.

    "We recognize that is a very unique type of complaint, and it takes a unique skill set in order to investigate that properly and appropriately, "he said.

    Support services

    Humphrey said they want to make sure support is in place for victims. Support services include chaplains, the Victim Services Unit, as well as mental health services that operate out of the Summit Wellness Center.

    They are also working on external support services so officers and employees can reach out.

    Consequences

    Humphrey said consequences will be "severe and swift."

    "We have to recognize that some mistakes are far more impactful on people than others, and we cannot allow that to negatively impact other people," he said.
