Louisville police declared a state of emergency ahead of an announcement from Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron regarding an investigation into Breonna Taylor’s death.
“To ensure we have the appropriate level of staffing to provide for public safety services and our policing functions, effective immediately the LMPD will operate under the emergency staffing and reporting guidelines as outlined in the Standard Operating Procedures, Emergency Response Plan and collective bargaining agreements until further notice,” Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) Interim Chief Rob Schroeder said in a statement.
