  1. A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF

    Chief Erika Shields joins the Louisville Metropolitan Police Department after serving as the Chief of Police for the Atlanta Police Department. Chief Shields is a strong advocate for 21st Century Policing and has been an outspoken leader in police reform. During her time as Atlanta’s Chief of Police, the department saw a reduction in violent crime and a marked increase in illegal gun seizures, which are accomplishments she attributes to intelligence-led policing.
