Louisville leaders say violence reduction strategy falling short in key areas
According to the Louisville Metro Police Department, 2022 was the third-deadliest year in Louisville’s history.
There were 160 homicides last year, a 150% increase from 2012 when the Metro finished the year with 64 homicides.
“It is simultaneously fully operational, and not operating optimally,” Josh Crawford, who is on Louisville’s GVI governance committee, said.
Crawford, who also serves as head of the Board of Directors for Chris 2X Gamechangers, said one of the main hurdles for GVI thus far has been the frequency and attendance of “call-in” meetings.
