>> Good evening and welcome to
(01:11):
Kentucky edition for this
Friday, November the 7th, I'm
Renee Shaw, and we thank you
for starting off your weekend
with us. The death toll is now
at 13 after Tuesday's UPS plane
crash in Louisville. And the
NTSB talked today about what
it's learning from the cockpit
voice recorder. More in
(01:32):
tonight's UPS crash coverage.
We have new video tonight of a
drone view of the crash site.
The 13th death involves someone
who had been in critical
condition in the hospital. The
NTSB, during its news
conference this afternoon,
announced that the planes
takeoff was uneventful at first.
The NTSB Todd Inman said 37
(01:54):
seconds into the flight, a bell
began going off on the plane.
That bell continued to sound
for 25 seconds, stopping at
what's believed to be the
moment of the crash. Last night,
people gathered in Louisville
for a vigil organized by
Teamsters Local 89.
>> I've spoken to all three
(02:14):
spouses of our of our pilots
that were on the accident
aircraft, and those are
difficult calls to have to make.
I'll be talking to them more in
the near future, and I'm going
to make sure that they know
about this outpouring of
support here today from all of
(02:35):
you.
>> And Congressman McGarvey.
Governor Beshear and I were at
the site yesterday. When we saw
the firefighters walking
towards bodies that were still
on the ground with the
stretchers. It was too painful
for me to watch. That was the
moment that I had to turn away.
Yet I know that the pain that I
(02:55):
felt in that moment is nothing
compared to what the pain of
the families are feeling right
now who are searching for
answers. We're searching for
meaning.
>> As we told you yesterday.
UPS has identified the three
crew members killed in the
crash, and today we have
pictures of Officer Dana
Diamond, First Officer Lee
(03:17):
Truitt, and Captain Richard
Wartenberg. Now to politics.
Congressman Andy Barr
officially filed to run in the
2026 Republican primary for the
U.S. Senate. Supporters greeted
him at the temporary secretary
of State's office in Frankfort
today. Barr is the only
candidate from either party so
far who served in Congress, but
(03:39):
Barr admits he might be as well
known statewide as his top
opponent, former Kentucky
Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
>> People in eastern Kentucky,
even outside of my district,
they know me because they've
known the tough fights that
we've been in over the years.
They've they've been in our
media market. So they have
familiarity with my work to
(04:00):
fight Obama's war on coal, to
fight Biden's inflation. They
know my record as an effective
advocate for our conservative
values. People, Louisville and
West simply don't know me. But
the good news is we're getting
out there. We're getting
endorsements from people like
Mike Wilson, the Senate whip in
Bowling Green, or Robert Duvall
(04:21):
or Kevin Jackson or Michael
Meredith or Sean McPherson.
These are all Western Kentucky
state representatives, and
they're endorsing our campaign
because as they hear more and
more about me, guess what? They
realize I'm the man for the job.
I know the job, and I can win.
>> Polling last month from both
(04:42):
Cameron and Barr's campaigns
shows Cameron leading statewide
by 17 percentage points.
However, Barr's poll shows him
ahead of Cameron in Lexington.
He hopes if his poll numbers
surge, that President Donald
Trump will take notice and
offer an endorsement. The other
Republican candidates are Nate
Morris and Michael Farris.
(05:05):
Kentucky Attorney General
Russell Coleman wants to move
forward with an execution,
despite Governor Andy Beshear
his view that the law doesn't
allow it. Ralph Baize killed
Powell County Sheriff Steve
Bennett and Deputy Arthur
Briscoe in 1992. Coleman sent
the governor a letter in June
asking him to sign a death
warrant for Baze. The governor
(05:27):
says a Frankfort or Franklin
Circuit Court ruling found part
of Kentucky's execution
protocol unconstitutional, and
Beshear says the state doesn't
have the lethal injection drugs
necessary to carry out an
execution. Coleman disagrees
with the governor's
interpretation of the law, and
is now asking the court to
overrule Beshear and clarify
(05:47):
there is nothing in the law
preventing Baze execution.
Kentucky has achieved
historically low rates of
recidivism. Recidivism or
inmates committing another
crime after their release.
Earlier this year, Governor
Andy Beshear announced only 30%
of released inmates return to
prison within two years. But
(06:08):
state lawmakers want to do more
to help offenders receive job
training. Our Emily Sisk has
more from yesterday's Interim
Joint Committee on Judiciary in
Frankfort.
>> Here is a stark fact that we
all must consider. 95% of all
inmates will one day rejoin
(06:31):
their communities.
>> State lawmakers are
proposing a new idea to ensure
that 95% can go to work and
stay out of correctional
facilities. The legislation
would expand prison education
and job training to 400
qualified inmates through the
Kentucky Community and
Technical College System.
>> We want to make it so that
(06:52):
they can say, I hope that on
good behavior on the tail end
of my sentence, I could be
transferred to the Kctcs
Reentry College, get premier
education, and have the ability
to have a job interview on site
so that when I get released,
the best chance possible to get
a job, provide for a family,
and not recommit as well.
(07:12):
>> The training facility would
be located in Boyle County in
central Kentucky. The Kctcs
president estimated it would
cost $42 million to construct.
>> Our employers, both Second
Chance and others, can get to
easily to do job interviews on
site and so that inmates can
have a job offer well before
their release date.
(07:33):
>> Lawmakers proposing the
legislation said their focus is
to remain hard on crime, while
giving inmates an opportunity
to succeed upon their release.
>> These individuals that go
through this program will all
be vetted low risk offenders.
>> Make no mistake, this
initiative is not soft on crime
legislation. The prisoners in
(07:55):
this facility will serve their
full sentences.
>> Job training programs may
include manufacturing, computer
engineering, welding, and more.
Fellow lawmakers voiced support
for the program, saying this
could help boost Kentucky's
workforce.
>> The offerings that you all
plan that are very much in tune
with what we need in this state.
(08:15):
>> And the director of reentry
services for the Department of
Corrections said this could
also save money for the state,
as the Commonwealth spends
$40,000 every year per
incarcerated person.
>> When an offender
successfully reenters their
communities and does not
re-offend, it reduce cost to
(08:36):
the state and most importantly,
it prevents a future victim.
>> Kctcs President Ryan Quarles
said they've already identified
more than 302nd chance
employers who would be willing
to hire former inmates for
Kentucky Edition. I'm Emily
Sisk.
>> Thank you. Emily. The job
training program would be
(08:56):
selective. Inmates would apply
in order to participate and
must maintain good behavior. A
memorial service for former
Kentucky Governor Martha Layne
Collins is this weekend.
Collins was Kentucky's first
and only female governor,
serving from 1983 to 1987. She
died on Saturday at the age of
88. Collins will lie in state
(09:18):
at the Old State Capitol in
Frankfort on Sunday, beginning
at noon. The public is invited
to pay their respects. A
memorial service will follow at
4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and
will air live on KET and
ket.org. The ongoing government
(09:41):
shutdown and disruption of SNAP
benefits have left many
Kentucky families struggling to
afford groceries. Local
nonprofit Black Soil is helping
ease that burden through its
Sprout Mobile Farmers Market,
offering free or low cost
produce and groceries. Kentucky
edition was there as the mobile
market visited Lexington on
(10:03):
Thursday.
>> We are kicking off our
annual Aetna Better Health of
Kentucky distributions, where
we serve 800 families who are
members of the Aetna Better
Health Medicaid Program. We're
here at Castlewood Park in
partnership with Exhilarating
Inc. and the Care Mobile
Dentistry Clinic, providing
folks with fresh apples,
seasonal produce like winter
(10:23):
squash, cauliflower, potatoes,
being together, honey, as well
as foods. Milk. Hills of
kindness. Eggs.
>> We're working with
exhilarating to provide dental
screenings, dental education
products, cleanings, x rays,
exams to get the community the
care that they deserve. This
area is identified as a dental
desert, and so it has really
helped a lot of people to know
(10:46):
they can come here and ask
their questions, especially if
they're in pain.
>> I just retired in April, so
I'm a 65 year old grandmother,
and this Social Security check
just ain't hitting it. So all
this extra really helps. And I
love to cook, so it really
helps me, you know, to come and
get some fresh produce.
>> I just had my first child
(11:07):
last year, so she's a little
over one now. So trying to feed
her has really been a big
priority of mine, especially
trying to feed her really good,
healthy foods. And then with
prices of food is really kind
of, you know, made that hard
and kind of difficult to do. So
having things like this around
has really made me enjoy that
process of, you know, feeding
(11:28):
her, finding good foods, you
know, going to the grocery
store is so scary now. So
things like this, you know,
kind of, you know, makes it
easy.
>> Our mission is to reach the
underserved, really anybody.
But we focus on the underserved.
The insurances that some
offices don't take. We accept
all of those. And we try to
(11:49):
just break barriers that
patients experience when they
are seeking dental care. They
get on the phone, they can't
find an office. Usually care,
accepts their insurance or has
a reduced cash fee schedule.
And then we also break down the
barrier of transportation
because we can move into areas
where patients live.
>> Even before the SNAP freeze
and cuts. Blackstock. We did
(12:11):
not accept et SNAP we have an
eat local year round challenge
where we already provide steep,
discounted prices for local
food. So this allows us to
control our own supply chain,
not be at the ebbs and flows of
federal programs.
>> I wish there was a way that
more people could actually know
(12:32):
about it, because I'm sure
there's a lot of other people
other than me that need it and
would appreciate, you know,
helping hand.
>> It's really important to
know what's offered inside your
community, especially at times
like this, to know just things
that we can kind of need to
kind of fill that gap.
>> This is a time for empathy,
(12:53):
empathy driven, policy making,
moral driven budgeting, as well
as legislation that doesn't
obstruct but pushes us forward
to generational prosperity for
all Kentuckians.
>> Each bag of groceries is
valued at $50, but there's no
charge for people who need the
help. Violent crime numbers are
(13:27):
down in Kentucky's largest city,
but the Louisville Metro Police
chief says he's just getting
started. Our Kelsey Stark sat
down with LMPD Chief Paul
Humphrey as he looks back on
his first year as head of the
department and ahead to what's
next.
>> Welcome, LMPD Chief Paul
Humphrey. Thanks for being here.
(13:47):
It's been a little more than a
year now since you've been on
the job. I want to go through a
few numbers here. Homicides
down 25%, non-fatal shootings
down 26%. Carjackings down 30%.
What's working?
>> Well, we're going in the
right direction. Obviously
we're not. Where? Anywhere
close to where we want to be. I
(14:07):
would love to be able to double
those numbers and save even
more families from from
suffering from those tragedies.
But I think we have a
combination of things. As one,
officers are excited about
doing their jobs and they they
want to feel like they're
supported in doing their jobs.
And I hope that they feel that
way. And I think we're making
strides in that. The other is
the community support officers
(14:28):
feel community support. You
know what that feels like when
you when you receive it. And
we're receiving a lot more
support and cooperation. And so
the combination of proactive
police work, community support
and collaboration ultimately
lead to those types of
successes.
>> What do you think's changing
with the community? Why? Why is
there more support now for the
(14:48):
department than before?
>> Well, I think there's an
understanding of the need for
police work. Obviously, you
know, in the last 5 or 6 years
we went through some pretty
difficult times as a city and
as a country. And when it comes
to what this profession means
to America and what it means to
Louisville. And so I think
there is a realization that we
(15:09):
have to have community and
police collaboration in order
to keep people safe. Ultimately,
that's what people want, right?
They want to be safe. They want
to have fun. They want to be
able to relax in their own
homes. And that requires that
there is a level of safety,
there's a level of policing
that goes on, and people feel
like their police department is
policing for them, not policing
(15:30):
them.
>> What do you see as some of
the biggest challenges or
obstacles that are still ahead
for you? What's your what's
your focus on right now?
>> Well, obviously, like I said,
those crime numbers are nowhere
near where we want them to be.
And they're up farther than
than they were historically. So
we still have to continue
focusing on on violent crime.
(15:50):
But that comes from continuing
to build community
relationships, continuing to
make sure that officers feel
like they are knowledgeable,
talented, given the resources
to go out there and do their
jobs in a successful way so
that we can continue to bring
more people through the door.
Obviously, recruitment over the
last several years has been an
(16:11):
extreme problem, not just for
the profession, but for
Louisville specifically. And so
part of my focus is to make
sure that officers feel really
good about the place that they
work, so they're more likely to
advertise, hey, come work for
us.
>> You mentioned recruitment.
Last time we talked, you said
this is a huge problem and now
you're having your biggest
recruitment class in several
(16:31):
years. What does that feel like
for you and how has that how's
that happened.
>> So that's that's very
exciting to have a class of
over 40, 40 people for the
first time in in several years.
However, what I'll say is that
we have to level set for the
community expectations. This is
(16:53):
a problem that is not going to
be solved in a recruit class or
two. It's a problem that it
took us several years to get
into, and it's going to take us
several years to get out of. So
we have to make sure that we
maintain the momentum of making
sure that the community
understands the importance of
police work, they value public
service and have a desire to
come join us, and that the
(17:14):
officers here feel like they're
valued and proud of the job
that they do, so that they
bring more people through the
door as well.
>> A lot of that has to do with
resources available. As we're
looking ahead now to the
upcoming legislative session,
what are some of the priorities
there that you were hoping the
state can help your department
do to increase resources,
(17:35):
increase that support for the
department?
>> Right. When it comes to the
legislative side, we're always
looking for different ways to
assist us in keeping the public
safe. And, you know, a couple
of things that we're working on
is a ban on Glock switches.
These are easy to make,
manufacturer purchase, drop in
devices that turn a pistol into
(17:56):
a fully automatic weapon.
They're extremely dangerous,
and they're becoming more and
more available on the streets.
And so that's something that
we're working with the
legislature to, to, to get rid
of so that we can make sure
that people are safe. One of
the other pieces that I would
like to see is automated
traffic enforcement. And so
that would be like a red light
(18:17):
camera type of issue. And, you
know, I'm not a traffic cop. I
never did that type of work. I
used to make fun of traffic
cops until I got in a position
where I realized, you know what?
Traffic enforcement is a key to
public safety. When, you know,
in the United States, I think
we have something like 40,000
people die on the roads a year.
That is unacceptable. And what
(18:37):
we saw in the past 5 to 10
years is not just that violent
crime deaths went up, but our
traffic related deaths went up
25 or 30%. And so we need as
many tools as we can in order
to make sure that people are
driving safely and keeping them
safe out on the street.
>> And then as you kind of look
back on this year, what are are
(19:01):
you most proud of? And is there
anything that you wish you had
maybe done differently?
>> Oh, gosh. You know, I think
it's it's much easier to point
out all of the mistakes that
I've made along the way.
Obviously, I've never been a
chief before. I didn't didn't
expect to be in this role at
this point. But one of the
(19:22):
things that I'm proudest of is
having the people around me
that I work with know that they
can say whatever they need to
say to make sure that we're
going in the right direction.
This is not a job. This is not
a role that you can do by
yourself. And I feel like we've
created an environment where
from the newest person on the
police department all the way
(19:43):
up to our executive staff, they
can express their concerns,
their ideas, and they have a
voice in how this police
department runs. And I think
that's very important because
no one can do this alone. And
so we've we've tried to create
as much as possible, a
collaborative police department
that everybody has value in.
>> And right now you all are
(20:04):
hosting a couple of other
cities here this week and
collaborating with other
departments. Tell me about that.
>> No. Very exciting. So we've
created what's called the
Tri-Cities Police Leadership
Academy, in collaboration with
both the city of Knoxville and
the city of Nashville. And it
all spawned out of a
recognition that there is a gap
(20:25):
in leadership training in the
profession. You know, when
you're first promoted to
sergeant, you everybody has
leadership training, and then
you kind of get left out until
you get to an executive level.
And so there was a gap. I've
been I've been all across the
country and been able to see
some amazing instructors in the
profession as well as in the
private sector, but that took
(20:46):
until I was, you know, at the
executive level. And so what we
wanted to create was
opportunities for mid-level
managers and leaders, both
sworn and professional staff.
So it's not just police
officers. We have our our human
resources director, our head of
our traffic guards is in the
class. We want to make sure
that they get that exposure so
(21:06):
that they have the skills, the
tools and the resources to be
great leaders as they want to
be. And so this is a really
innovative thing that we've
done. We're the first group of
cities across the country to
have done a collaborative
leadership academy like this.
So we're excited that we're
creating a new model and we'll
continue to build on it.
>> That's great. And that's
(21:27):
happening right now. Thanks so
much for being here. Appreciate
it. Back to you.
>> Thank you Kelsey. The
Tri-City Police Academy first
met in Knoxville in October.
This week, sessions are being
held in Louisville, and the
summit will wrap up in
Nashville in December. Grab a
(21:53):
jacket and maybe a heavy coat

>> The men and women who served
our nation will be honored in
Madisonville this weekend as
(22:13):
the city hosts the state's
largest Veterans Day parade. In

hitting it.
(00:51):
>> But she's getting help on
wheels.
>> Production of Kentucky

part by the KET Millennium Fund.
>> Good evening and welcome to
(01:11):
Kentucky edition for this
Friday, November the 7th, I'm
Renee Shaw, and we thank you
for starting off your weekend
with us. The death toll is now
at 13 after Tuesday's UPS plane
crash in Louisville. And the
NTSB talked today about what
it's learning from the cockpit
voice recorder. More in
(01:32):
tonight's UPS crash coverage.
We have new video tonight of a
drone view of the crash site.
The 13th death involves someone
who had been in critical
condition in the hospital. The
NTSB, during its news
conference this afternoon,
announced that the planes
takeoff was uneventful at first.
The NTSB Todd Inman said 37
(01:54):
seconds into the flight, a bell
began going off on the plane.
That bell continued to sound
for 25 seconds, stopping at
what's believed to be the
moment of the crash. Last night,
people gathered in Louisville
for a vigil organized by
Teamsters Local 89.
>> I've spoken to all three
(02:14):
spouses of our of our pilots
that were on the accident
aircraft, and those are
difficult calls to have to make.
I'll be talking to them more in
the near future, and I'm going
to make sure that they know
about this outpouring of
support here today from all of
(02:35):
you.
>> And Congressman McGarvey.
Governor Beshear and I were at
the site yesterday. When we saw
the firefighters walking
towards bodies that were still
on the ground with the
stretchers. It was too painful
for me to watch. That was the
moment that I had to turn away.
Yet I know that the pain that I
(02:55):
felt in that moment is nothing
compared to what the pain of
the families are feeling right
now who are searching for
answers. We're searching for
meaning.
>> As we told you yesterday.
UPS has identified the three
crew members killed in the
crash, and today we have
pictures of Officer Dana
Diamond, First Officer Lee
(03:17):
Truitt, and Captain Richard
Wartenberg. Now to politics.
Congressman Andy Barr
officially filed to run in the
2026 Republican primary for the
U.S. Senate. Supporters greeted
him at the temporary secretary
of State's office in Frankfort
today. Barr is the only
candidate from either party so
far who served in Congress, but
(03:39):
Barr admits he might be as well
known statewide as his top
opponent, former Kentucky
Attorney General Daniel Cameron.
>> People in eastern Kentucky,
even outside of my district,
they know me because they've
known the tough fights that
we've been in over the years.
They've they've been in our
media market. So they have
familiarity with my work to
(04:00):
fight Obama's war on coal, to
fight Biden's inflation. They
know my record as an effective
advocate for our conservative
values. People, Louisville and
West simply don't know me. But
the good news is we're getting
out there. We're getting
endorsements from people like
Mike Wilson, the Senate whip in
Bowling Green, or Robert Duvall
(04:21):
or Kevin Jackson or Michael
Meredith or Sean McPherson.
These are all Western Kentucky
state representatives, and
they're endorsing our campaign
because as they hear more and
more about me, guess what? They
realize I'm the man for the job.
I know the job, and I can win.
>> Polling last month from both
(04:42):
Cameron and Barr's campaigns
shows Cameron leading statewide
by 17 percentage points.
However, Barr's poll shows him
ahead of Cameron in Lexington.
He hopes if his poll numbers
surge, that President Donald
Trump will take notice and
offer an endorsement. The other
Republican candidates are Nate
Morris and Michael Farris.
(05:05):
Kentucky Attorney General
Russell Coleman wants to move
forward with an execution,
despite Governor Andy Beshear
his view that the law doesn't
allow it. Ralph Baize killed
Powell County Sheriff Steve
Bennett and Deputy Arthur
Briscoe in 1992. Coleman sent
the governor a letter in June
asking him to sign a death
warrant for Baze. The governor
(05:27):
says a Frankfort or Franklin
Circuit Court ruling found part
of Kentucky's execution
protocol unconstitutional, and
Beshear says the state doesn't
have the lethal injection drugs
necessary to carry out an
execution. Coleman disagrees
with the governor's
interpretation of the law, and
is now asking the court to
overrule Beshear and clarify
(05:47):
there is nothing in the law
preventing Baze execution.
Kentucky has achieved
historically low rates of
recidivism. Recidivism or
inmates committing another
crime after their release.
Earlier this year, Governor
Andy Beshear announced only 30%
of released inmates return to
prison within two years. But
(06:08):
state lawmakers want to do more
to help offenders receive job
training. Our Emily Sisk has
more from yesterday's Interim
Joint Committee on Judiciary in
Frankfort.
>> Here is a stark fact that we
all must consider. 95% of all
inmates will one day rejoin
(06:31):
their communities.
>> State lawmakers are
proposing a new idea to ensure
that 95% can go to work and
stay out of correctional
facilities. The legislation
would expand prison education
and job training to 400
qualified inmates through the
Kentucky Community and
Technical College System.
>> We want to make it so that
(06:52):
they can say, I hope that on
good behavior on the tail end
of my sentence, I could be
transferred to the Kctcs
Reentry College, get premier
education, and have the ability
to have a job interview on site
so that when I get released,
the best chance possible to get
a job, provide for a family,
and not recommit as well.
(07:12):
>> The training facility would
be located in Boyle County in
central Kentucky. The Kctcs
president estimated it would
cost $42 million to construct.
>> Our employers, both Second
Chance and others, can get to
easily to do job interviews on
site and so that inmates can
have a job offer well before
their release date.
(07:33):
>> Lawmakers proposing the
legislation said their focus is
to remain hard on crime, while
giving inmates an opportunity
to succeed upon their release.
>> These individuals that go
through this program will all
be vetted low risk offenders.
>> Make no mistake, this
initiative is not soft on crime
legislation. The prisoners in
(07:55):
this facility will serve their
full sentences.
>> Job training programs may
include manufacturing, computer
engineering, welding, and more.
Fellow lawmakers voiced support
for the program, saying this
could help boost Kentucky's
workforce.
>> The offerings that you all
plan that are very much in tune
with what we need in this state.
(08:15):
>> And the director of reentry
services for the Department of
Corrections said this could
also save money for the state,
as the Commonwealth spends
$40,000 every year per
incarcerated person.
>> When an offender
successfully reenters their
communities and does not
re-offend, it reduce cost to
(08:36):
the state and most importantly,
it prevents a future victim.
>> Kctcs President Ryan Quarles
said they've already identified
more than 302nd chance
employers who would be willing
to hire former inmates for
Kentucky Edition. I'm Emily
Sisk.
>> Thank you. Emily. The job
training program would be
(08:56):
selective. Inmates would apply
in order to participate and
must maintain good behavior. A
memorial service for former
Kentucky Governor Martha Layne
Collins is this weekend.
Collins was Kentucky's first
and only female governor,
serving from 1983 to 1987. She
died on Saturday at the age of
88. Collins will lie in state
(09:18):
at the Old State Capitol in
Frankfort on Sunday, beginning
at noon. The public is invited
to pay their respects. A
memorial service will follow at
4:30 p.m. Eastern Time, and
will air live on KET and
ket.org. The ongoing government
(09:41):
shutdown and disruption of SNAP
benefits have left many
Kentucky families struggling to
afford groceries. Local
nonprofit Black Soil is helping
ease that burden through its
Sprout Mobile Farmers Market,
offering free or low cost
produce and groceries. Kentucky
edition was there as the mobile
market visited Lexington on
(10:03):
Thursday.
>> We are kicking off our
annual Aetna Better Health of
Kentucky distributions, where
we serve 800 families who are
members of the Aetna Better
Health Medicaid Program. We're
here at Castlewood Park in
partnership with Exhilarating
Inc. and the Care Mobile
Dentistry Clinic, providing
folks with fresh apples,
seasonal produce like winter
(10:23):
squash, cauliflower, potatoes,
being together, honey, as well
as foods. Milk. Hills of
kindness. Eggs.
>> We're working with
exhilarating to provide dental
screenings, dental education
products, cleanings, x rays,
exams to get the community the
care that they deserve. This
area is identified as a dental
desert, and so it has really
helped a lot of people to know
(10:46):
they can come here and ask
their questions, especially if
they're in pain.
>> I just retired in April, so
I'm a 65 year old grandmother,
and this Social Security check
just ain't hitting it. So all
this extra really helps. And I
love to cook, so it really
helps me, you know, to come and
get some fresh produce.
>> I just had my first child
(11:07):
last year, so she's a little
over one now. So trying to feed
her has really been a big
priority of mine, especially
trying to feed her really good,
healthy foods. And then with
prices of food is really kind
of, you know, made that hard
and kind of difficult to do. So
having things like this around
has really made me enjoy that
process of, you know, feeding
(11:28):
her, finding good foods, you
know, going to the grocery
store is so scary now. So
things like this, you know,
kind of, you know, makes it
easy.
>> Our mission is to reach the
underserved, really anybody.
But we focus on the underserved.
The insurances that some
offices don't take. We accept
all of those. And we try to
(11:49):
just break barriers that
patients experience when they
are seeking dental care. They
get on the phone, they can't
find an office. Usually care,
accepts their insurance or has
a reduced cash fee schedule.
And then we also break down the
barrier of transportation
because we can move into areas
where patients live.
>> Even before the SNAP freeze
and cuts. Blackstock. We did
(12:11):
not accept et SNAP we have an
eat local year round challenge
where we already provide steep,
discounted prices for local
food. So this allows us to
control our own supply chain,
not be at the ebbs and flows of
federal programs.
>> I wish there was a way that
more people could actually know
(12:32):
about it, because I'm sure
there's a lot of other people
other than me that need it and
would appreciate, you know,
helping hand.
>> It's really important to
know what's offered inside your
community, especially at times
like this, to know just things
that we can kind of need to
kind of fill that gap.
>> This is a time for empathy,
(12:53):
empathy driven, policy making,
moral driven budgeting, as well
as legislation that doesn't
obstruct but pushes us forward
to generational prosperity for
all Kentuckians.
>> Each bag of groceries is
valued at $50, but there's no
charge for people who need the
help. Violent crime numbers are
(13:27):
down in Kentucky's largest city,
but the Louisville Metro Police
chief says he's just getting
started. Our Kelsey Stark sat
down with LMPD Chief Paul
Humphrey as he looks back on
his first year as head of the
department and ahead to what's
next.
>> Welcome, LMPD Chief Paul
Humphrey. Thanks for being here.
(13:47):
It's been a little more than a
year now since you've been on
the job. I want to go through a
few numbers here. Homicides
down 25%, non-fatal shootings
down 26%. Carjackings down 30%.
What's working?
>> Well, we're going in the
right direction. Obviously
we're not. Where? Anywhere
close to where we want to be. I
(14:07):
would love to be able to double
those numbers and save even
more families from from
suffering from those tragedies.
But I think we have a
combination of things. As one,
officers are excited about
doing their jobs and they they
want to feel like they're
supported in doing their jobs.
And I hope that they feel that
way. And I think we're making
strides in that. The other is
the community support officers
(14:28):
feel community support. You
know what that feels like when
you when you receive it. And
we're receiving a lot more
support and cooperation. And so
the combination of proactive
police work, community support
and collaboration ultimately
lead to those types of
successes.
>> What do you think's changing
with the community? Why? Why is
there more support now for the
(14:48):
department than before?
>> Well, I think there's an
understanding of the need for
police work. Obviously, you
know, in the last 5 or 6 years
we went through some pretty
difficult times as a city and
as a country. And when it comes
to what this profession means
to America and what it means to
Louisville. And so I think
there is a realization that we
(15:09):
have to have community and
police collaboration in order
to keep people safe. Ultimately,
that's what people want, right?
They want to be safe. They want
to have fun. They want to be
able to relax in their own
homes. And that requires that
there is a level of safety,
there's a level of policing
that goes on, and people feel
like their police department is
policing for them, not policing
(15:30):
them.
>> What do you see as some of
the biggest challenges or
obstacles that are still ahead
for you? What's your what's
your focus on right now?
>> Well, obviously, like I said,
those crime numbers are nowhere
near where we want them to be.
And they're up farther than
than they were historically. So
we still have to continue
focusing on on violent crime.
(15:50):
But that comes from continuing
to build community
relationships, continuing to
make sure that officers feel
like they are knowledgeable,
talented, given the resources
to go out there and do their
jobs in a successful way so
that we can continue to bring
more people through the door.
Obviously, recruitment over the
last several years has been an
(16:11):
extreme problem, not just for
the profession, but for
Louisville specifically. And so
part of my focus is to make
sure that officers feel really
good about the place that they
work, so they're more likely to
advertise, hey, come work for
us.
>> You mentioned recruitment.
Last time we talked, you said
this is a huge problem and now
you're having your biggest
recruitment class in several
(16:31):
years. What does that feel like
for you and how has that how's
that happened.
>> So that's that's very
exciting to have a class of
over 40, 40 people for the
first time in in several years.
However, what I'll say is that
we have to level set for the
community expectations. This is
(16:53):
a problem that is not going to
be solved in a recruit class or
two. It's a problem that it
took us several years to get
into, and it's going to take us
several years to get out of. So
we have to make sure that we
maintain the momentum of making
sure that the community
understands the importance of
police work, they value public
service and have a desire to
come join us, and that the
(17:14):
officers here feel like they're
valued and proud of the job
that they do, so that they
bring more people through the
door as well.
>> A lot of that has to do with
resources available. As we're
looking ahead now to the
upcoming legislative session,
what are some of the priorities
there that you were hoping the
state can help your department
do to increase resources,
(17:35):
increase that support for the
department?
>> Right. When it comes to the
legislative side, we're always
looking for different ways to
assist us in keeping the public
safe. And, you know, a couple
of things that we're working on
is a ban on Glock switches.
These are easy to make,
manufacturer purchase, drop in
devices that turn a pistol into
(17:56):
a fully automatic weapon.
They're extremely dangerous,
and they're becoming more and
more available on the streets.
And so that's something that
we're working with the
legislature to, to, to get rid
of so that we can make sure
that people are safe. One of
the other pieces that I would
like to see is automated
traffic enforcement. And so
that would be like a red light
(18:17):
camera type of issue. And, you
know, I'm not a traffic cop. I
never did that type of work. I
used to make fun of traffic
cops until I got in a position
where I realized, you know what?
Traffic enforcement is a key to
public safety. When, you know,
in the United States, I think
we have something like 40,000
people die on the roads a year.
That is unacceptable. And what
(18:37):
we saw in the past 5 to 10
years is not just that violent
crime deaths went up, but our
traffic related deaths went up
25 or 30%. And so we need as
many tools as we can in order
to make sure that people are
driving safely and keeping them
safe out on the street.
>> And then as you kind of look
back on this year, what are are
(19:01):
you most proud of? And is there
anything that you wish you had
maybe done differently?
>> Oh, gosh. You know, I think
it's it's much easier to point
out all of the mistakes that
I've made along the way.
Obviously, I've never been a
chief before. I didn't didn't
expect to be in this role at
this point. But one of the
(19:22):
things that I'm proudest of is
having the people around me
that I work with know that they
can say whatever they need to
say to make sure that we're
going in the right direction.
This is not a job. This is not
a role that you can do by
yourself. And I feel like we've
created an environment where
from the newest person on the
police department all the way
(19:43):
up to our executive staff, they
can express their concerns,
their ideas, and they have a
voice in how this police
department runs. And I think
that's very important because
no one can do this alone. And
so we've we've tried to create
as much as possible, a
collaborative police department
that everybody has value in.
>> And right now you all are
(20:04):
hosting a couple of other
cities here this week and
collaborating with other
departments. Tell me about that.
>> No. Very exciting. So we've
created what's called the
Tri-Cities Police Leadership
Academy, in collaboration with
both the city of Knoxville and
the city of Nashville. And it
all spawned out of a
recognition that there is a gap
(20:25):
in leadership training in the
profession. You know, when
you're first promoted to
sergeant, you everybody has
leadership training, and then
you kind of get left out until
you get to an executive level.
And so there was a gap. I've
been I've been all across the
country and been able to see
some amazing instructors in the
profession as well as in the
private sector, but that took
(20:46):
until I was, you know, at the
executive level. And so what we
wanted to create was
opportunities for mid-level
managers and leaders, both
sworn and professional staff.
So it's not just police
officers. We have our our human
resources director, our head of
our traffic guards is in the
class. We want to make sure
that they get that exposure so
(21:06):
that they have the skills, the
tools and the resources to be
great leaders as they want to
be. And so this is a really
innovative thing that we've
done. We're the first group of
cities across the country to
have done a collaborative
leadership academy like this.
So we're excited that we're
creating a new model and we'll
continue to build on it.
>> That's great. And that's
(21:27):
happening right now. Thanks so
much for being here. Appreciate
it. Back to you.
>> Thank you Kelsey. The
Tri-City Police Academy first
met in Knoxville in October.
This week, sessions are being
held in Louisville, and the
summit will wrap up in
Nashville in December. Grab a

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
