Louisville police seeking Detroit recruits

This will be the second attempt by the Louisville area to recruit former Detroit officers. In early 1981-82 Jefferson County recruited approximately 31 officers from Detroit. Within a month, a large portion resigned and went else where. Hopefully, LMPD should re-examine the shortfalls in the 80's to better attract these officers. I had one of the Detroit transfers assigned to me in the old Police Run EMS division of the County. He was an excellent individual and committed to his career. But I do remember his comments that the officers families were having a rough time adjusting to the southern region. I would hope the entire LMPD staff will make these personnel feel as comfortable as possible . and include them in as many outside department activities. The transfer from Detroit that I was partnered with, stayed with the County.
