Jefferson County Public Schools will begin conducting school satisfaction surveys over the next several weeks that district officials say will help the district and schools make improvements.

As a national debate about law enforcement practices gripped the nation, formal complaints by community members against Louisville Metro Police were at a five-year low. In 2014, 26 community complaints were filed against police—nearly 80 percent fewer than 2010, according to information provided by LMPD.

Of the 355 cases filed since 2010, 22 percent have been substantiated, according to the data. Why the decline? Police don’t know. Louisville Metro Police’s Professional Standards Unit investigates internal and community allegations of violations of department rules. Major Don Burbrink, [...]
