“Chief Humphrey is thoughtful, fair, and decisive,†Greenberg said in a media release Monday. “He has earned my respect, and he has earned the respect and trust of this community, including the hardworking men and women of the Louisville Metro Police Department.â€
Humphrey joined the department as a patrol officer in 2006, was a former SWAT team commander, training division chief and, in 2022, became deputy chief for accountability as the department was dealing with a in the wake of the Taylor shooting.
“The sworn and professional staff of LMPD work tirelessly each day to make Louisville a safer city,†Humphrey said in the release. “It is a tremendous honor to serve our residents, business community, and visitors.â€
