Just the same as a handout but you'd have to be wise enough to know what's really going on.

Answer: Overtime is a bandaid on a gaping chest wound. Louisville needs about 200 more officers and detectives on THE STREET, not just in an office or "supervising". The city is also needs more federal agents, but ask them how many. Its huuuuge.

WAVE 3 News obtained emails dated from Jan. 27 where LMPD Chief Steve Conrad learned his department had spent just "over half of the $1.2 million." In the email chain, Conrad wrote, "If we keep spending at the same rate, we will run out before the end of March!" He then orders the OT schedules be revised to cover the hot spots through the end of June. The Chief would not comment on camera. But numerous sources told WAVE 3 News after the date of those emails, overtime shifts were cut back. "It is frustrating to be shocked by that news," Councilwoman Angela Leet said. Leet is a member of both the budget and public safety committees. "There was no transparency in regards that they were bumping up against the number," she said

Leet wants LMPD to get its math straight. "What is the real number? What's your real need in order to protect our community," she said.
