LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Louisville police will be required to wear body cameras and will change a search warrant policy after their fatal shooting of a black emergency medical worker in her home, the city’s mayor said Monday.
Breonna Taylor, 26, was killed when police executed a no-knock search warrant for illegal drugs at her home on March 13.
Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said officers in plainclothes units like the one that served a warrant at Taylor’s home will now wear the cameras during search warrants.
Fischer also said he is changing the policy on what police call “no-knock” search warrants.
The body camera policy will extend to all sworn officers during search warrants where they identify themselves as police officers, Fischer said.
