The Metro Council Minority Caucus held a press conference Monday to unveil their Safer Louisville Policy Agenda. This agenda aims to address a number of safety concerns across Jefferson County. GLI was pleased to see several policies aligned with our Prosper 2030 Strategic Plan included in the priorities, including funding for Flock cameras throughout Louisville. Other policies highlighted include: 

• Adding State Police patrols on Jefferson County Interstate Roadways 

• Eliminating streetside solicitation 

• Funding a pilot program to place streetlights in two high crime areas 

• Cracking down on illegal ATV use 

• Seeking a timely reopening of the Juvenile Justice Center 

• Calling for the planning and development of a new jail to improve worker and inmate safety 

• Supporting efforts to increase transparency and create a “scorecard” for better awareness on judicial and prosecutorial decisions, especially involving violent criminals 

• Funding for construction of a new First Responder Training Facility 

GLI will monitor and vet each of these priorities based on recommendations of our investors.
