council considers reform

ABC 36's Christy Bollinger

A lot of the discussion focused on no knock warrants..

And the immediate moratorium to them..

Except in life-and-death cases.

The department's current policy was discussed in detail.

Take sot: :12 "are we perfect.?

No, but we realize what our job is anytime you do a no knock search warrant it's designed and specifically used to prevent loss of life."

Take vo:a councilmember brought up how that wasn't the case for breonna taylor in louisville... calls the moratorium a "temporary fix".

Take vo: the chief says he was open to greater review of the policy..

In regards to body cameras, the chief says over 400 are assigned to wear them..

But some in the department aren't required to.

Take sot: :10 "some of the people in administrative and non enforcement positions aren't gonna use them that much and there's a cost associated with them and if they're not using them why are we paying for them?"

Take vo: the bargaining process was an important topic... specifically the disciplinary article in the contract.

Note, the disciplinary process is handled by a police review board... that's made up in the bargaining process.

Take sot: :12 "with the exception of the board the disciplinary article that is basically incorporating the existing state law.

You're going to have to change the state law ultimately to get that done."

Take vo: bastian says the f- o-p does not accept police brutality.
