New police chief Steve Conrad sets lofty goal for Louisville and its officers

mostly I agree with your assessment except for the fact of he is going to survey LTs and above on what is wrong or needs to be corrected. The problem with that is we have LTs that have NEVER been in charge of a street platoon or are so disconnected they really don't know the problems the officers face. I am not talking about the dangers but more in line with how everything is structured with all the SOP and changes to them weekly. If he really wants to know what is going on talk to platoon Sgts and senior officers on the street.

Yvette Gentry did not get the top job...perhaps you can give it a little rest now. Just saying.

AS LONG AS WE HAVE MOTORCYCLE THEIVES STEALING PEOPLES BIKES AND MORE THEN LIKELY USEING THEM TO COMMIT CRIME LIKE THE GUY WHO ROBBED THE CASINO AND DROVE OFF ON A MOTORCYCLE WITHOUT THE POLICE BEING ABLE TO CATCH CAUSE GOD KNOWS LMPD COULDNT CATCH A FLY WHEN IT COMES TO MOTORCYCLES. THERE IS A ORANGE BIKE THAT RIDES WITH A GREEN AND WHITE BIKE THAT I BELIEVE BELONGS TO ME SEEN THEM TODAY ON BROADWAY HEADING TOWARDS WEST END OF TOWN AND NEVER GETS STOPPED BECAUSE USUALLY THEY FLEA THE AREA OR ARE ALWAYS IN THE RT LANE SO THEY CAN TURN QUICKLY IF ANYBODY IS ON TO THEM. MY DET. IS SO WEAK ON THIS CRIME ITS REDICULOUS PULL EM OVER AND PHYSICALLY CHECK THE VIN # IVE ALSO SEEN 2 NEWLY EXTENDED NINAS THAT EITHER COULD HAVE BEEN MINE THEY WERE CRUISING LAMPTON ST WHERE I RODE MY BIKE EVERYDAY TO PICK UP MY CHILD FROM SCHOOL. IVE LIVED IN THIS CITY 47YRS GOOD LUCK ON MAKING THIS THE SAFEST CITY THATS A REDICULOUS STATEMENT TO ME THERE IS SO MUCH CRIME AROUND HERE NOW DUE TO OXY COTTIN, EXTASCY AND THE ECONOMY. I BELIEVE STEVE CONRAD DOESNT HAVE A CLUE TO MAKE THAT STATEMENT MAYBE JUST MAYBE MURDER IS DOWN BUT PEOPLE GETTING HIT UP SIDE THE HEAD AND ROBBED IS VERY MUCH RISEN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD I READ THE CRIME REPORTS CRIME IS ABUNDANT EVERYWHERE AND HE NEEDS TO RETRAIN HIS OFFICERS TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC THERE ARE TO MANY COPS THAT THINKS THEY KNOW EVERYTHING WHEN THEY COME TO A CRIME SCENE OR SHUT THE VICTIM OFF BEFORE THEY CAN GET A WORD IN EDGEWISE. SOME OFFICERS ARE TOTAL JERKS AND HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE CITIZEN IVE BEEN SO CLOSE TO FILING A CIVIL SUIT AGAINST THE LMPD FOR VIOLATING MY CIVIL RIGHTS THEY THINK I HAVE NONE BUT THEY WILL FIND OUT THE NEXT TIME MY RIGHTS ARE VIOLATED. TELL NARCOTICS DET HAGEN AND HIS SNITCH BRIAN TEXAS FROM THE FAMILY WHOS UNCLE SHOT ME WHEN I WAS 15 AND THE OTHER UNCLE WHO ROBBED ME AND WROTE CHECKS OUT OF MY ACCOUNT I DONT SMOKE ANYMORE I ALMOST DIED IN JANURARY I HAD HEART FAILURE, PHEUMONIA WITH MY LUNGS FULL OF FLUID AND LET ME TELL YOU ONCE YOU HAVE THE NEEDLES STUCK THROUGH YOUR RIBS TO YOUR LUNGS YOULL NEVER PUT ANY SMOKE IN YOUR LUNGS EVER AGAIN I DONT SMOKE NO MORE SO THINK TWICE BEFORE COME THROUGH MY DOOR OVER MARIJUANA I QUIT. STILL THINK YOU VICTIMIZED THE VICTIM AND I WILL ALWAYS THINK THAT WAY. DO NOT SEND MAGNELLO TO MY CALLS OR LECHAMPION AND TELL S HALL TO KEEP HER FINGERS OFF MY 67 CHARGER WITH HER OR HIS STICKERS I HAD PERMISSION TO PARK THERE. WHO THE HELL ABANDONS A 67 CHARGER ARE YOU NUTS HALL. SITE SOMEONE ON THE FORCE FOR PARKING THE WRONG WAY IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN HOME YOU GUYS STINK 47YRS I PARKED ANY WAY I LIKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE TRY THAT TO THE CHEIF OR HIS FAMILY BET HE CAN HAVE IT DISMISSED I HAD TO PAY.LOOK IVE LOST 3/4 S OF MY PAY LAST TWO YEARS AND ALMOST DIED IN JAN, WIFE HAD TO DO MY JOB AND HERS HELL OF A WOMAN MORE THEN I CAN SAY FOR SOME OF THE JERKS ON THE LMPD FORCE. I WAS HIT A RUN ON 2 16 11 TWO MONTHS LATER I FOUND THE CAR DO YOU THINK LMPD FOUND IT WITH THE ADDRESS HELL NO. THEY ARE PITYFUL AND REDICULOUS LIKE THE DAY I CALLED ABOUT 3 PEOPLE DOWN HERE MESSING AROUND MY PROPERTY I CALLED POLICE GAVE THEM THE ADDRESS AND ILL BE DAMNED IF A FEMALE OFFICER CAME PASSED THE ADDRESS THEN STARTED SPOTLIGHTING ME AND MY WIFE BOTH SAID THATS REDICULOUS LATER THAT NIGHT WE HAD TO CONFRONT THESE DRUNK PEOPLE AT 12 IN THE MORNING AT NIGHT BECAUSE THE POLICE DID NOT DO THEIR JOBS AND YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA BE THE SAFEST CITY.
