Two-Day Confidence Vote Begins for Louisville Metro Police

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – A two-day vote is scheduled to begin to gauge confidence in Louisville Metro Police leadership, communication and manpower.

Local media outlets report that the River City Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 614 posted on Facebook that they are conducting the vote Tuesday and Wednesday.

The ballot is expected to pose several questions to members, including confidence in police infrastructure, manpower, communication, efficiency and leadership.

All members of the lodge will be able to cast votes from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the lodge or at the Hall of Justice.

The vote comes about a month after River City Fraternal Order of Police President Dave Mutchler slammed Police Chief Steve Conrad in a letter to Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, saying confidence in the chief is “at an all-time low.”
