The biggest challenge Louisville Metro Police Department faces is the increase of violent crime in the past year. Data has shown, the rate current rate of homicides Louisville has had this year it is on track to surpass the homicide rate of 80 in 2015. 2016 has been one of the deadliest years since 1971. Peace and Unity have been implemented into the department and the community but the violence still increases, so I believe at this time violent crime is the biggest issue Louisville Metro Police Department faces.
