The city of Louisville, Kentucky, has a financial incentive program to entice its police officers to move to certain areas of the city to create better relationships with the communities they serve.

The program was a result of the lawsuit settlement between the city and the family of Breonna Taylor, the 26-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot in her apartment in 2020.

Louisville Public Media's Roberto Roldan reports on why the program hasn't been working.

This segment aired on April 1, 2024.
