Louisville City Wire

Statement by Councilwoman Tammy Hawkins

“As the Chair of Metro Council’s Public Safety Committee, I have been in contact with the Greenberg Administration and the U.S. Department of Justice about the consent decree negotiation process.  As of now I respect and understand that the DOJ is requiring that negotiations with the Administration remain confidential.  However, I appreciate that one of the Mayor’s first requests to DOJ was for more community input and as of yesterday, the DOJ has agreed to host community meetings later in the spring.  I am asking that the Louisville community trust me as the Chair of Public Safety and to give me the opportunity to hold the necessary people accountable to bring true change.  I also ask that you please contact my office at 502-574-1101, should you have any questions or concerns in reference to anything you need assistance within addition to the consent decree.  I can assure you my office will work diligently to get any and all available answers available to provide.  I am committed to serving the people of not only District 1 but also Louisville and take Public Safety with the upmost seriousness."
