LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – Louisville Metro Police will soon lower its requirements to become an officer with the department.
Police Chief Steve Conrad told a committee of Louisville Metro Council members on Monday night about two changes he plans to implement over the summer to try and increase the hiring pool for officers.
The first change Conrad says will be implemented this summer is lowering the required two years of college education. The requirement has been in place since the city and county merged back in 2003.
The department will now only require a high school diploma to be considered for an officer position.
The other change Conrad is making is to the restrictions on previous drug usage.
“We have a requirement that says you must not have used, possessed or sold a narcotic in the last six years,” Conrad said.
Conrad is changing that to three years.
LMPD is planning to hire 122 officers over the course of the next year.
The changes will be implemented some time during the summer.
