Louisville FOP overwhelmingly votes no confidence in LMPD and Chief Conrad

You may be on to something...the high visibility of Louisville Police cars was unmistaken 20 years ago. We somehow got gradually used to not seeing as many marked cars on the street and forgot the way it once was.

Beyond that, what about expanding on the shifts?

I'm not saying that take-home cars aren't a benefit or that it doesn't provide a sense of there being more cops on the street, but seriously, if it's not something really serious, how likely are you to use your police authorities when you're off the clock?

Why not do some extra hiring and reassigning to put more people to work? Not just patrol, but in other areas, too. Have more marked *and* unmarked units on the street at any given time, because they're actually on-shift.
