Louisville Metro Police officials have so far refused to publicly disclose where they’ve installed nearly 200 license plate readers. And, this month, KyCIR analyzed police citations that showed Black residents were disproportionately charged with crimes based on LMPD’s use of license plate readers. KyCIR reviewed LMPD citations for 2025 that mentioned license plate readers. Wandt said license plate readers are a valuable tool for police, but their locations shouldn’t be kept secret. One goal of the plan includes working with LMPD to improve the strategy behind where to install license plate readers.
