FILE - Louisville Metro Police Chief Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel speaks during a news conference, May 23, 2024, in Louisville , Ky. Louisville ’s police chief has been placed on leave over her handling of a sexual harassment allegation involving her officers, Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg said Wednesday, June 12. Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel became the third full-time Louisville police chief to resign or be fired since 2020.
The department has been thrown into turmoil in recent weeks by sexual harassment allegations. Last week, two female officers filed lawsuits alleging they were sexually harassed by fellow officers in recent years.“Everyone should be treated with respect by their colleagues,” Greenberg said. “And everyone has the responsibility to treat others with respect. That should be true in every workplace.
Greenberg did not elaborate Tuesday on why Gwinn-Villaroel resigned or if he asked her to leave the department. Greenberg said sexual harassment training procedures would be improved and a department policy that harassment complaints should go through an officer’s chain of command would be amended to give officers other options for reporting those complaints. Officers found to be in violation of the sexual harassment policy could be terminated, he said.
