CSUSB professor comments on Louisville PD reforms
WDRB TV (Louisville, Ky.)
March 8, 2024
Zachary Powell, an associate professor of criminology and criminal justice at California State University, San Bernardino, was interviewed for a segment about the U.S. Department of Justice’s order for the Louisville Police Department and Metro Government to institute reforms after the
DOJ determined that they engaged in practices that violated the U.S. Constitution and federal law for years, including excessive use of force and searches based on invalid search warrants.
Work has been done over the last year, but primarily behind the scenes. "Internally, there's a lot that's happening to reimagine Louisville PD," Powell said.
"The first year is really more about like, one, finding out what exactly needs to change, hiring the right people to do so, writing the policy that takes in place and setting up the data collection efforts and creating relationship with the independent monitor," Powell said. "And with all these changes that are happening, you know, there's also like training and retraining officers as they come in."
