Less than 5% of LMPD missing persons cases meet criteria for a public alert

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. JAY. MISSING PERSONS CASES AND HOW LMPD HANDLES THOSE CASES ARE IN THE SPOTLIGHT AFTER THE RECENT DISAPPEARANCE OF A LOUISVILLE WOMAN. TOSHA WHITE WAS REPORTED MISSING BY HER FAMILY ON MAY 1ST. LMPD NEVER SENT OUT AN ALERT FOR WHITE. HER BODY WAS FOUND SIX DAYS LATER. THAT SAME DAY, POLICE DID ISSUE AN OPERATION RETURN HOME FOR A 52 YEAR OLD MAN WHO WAS LATER FOUND SAFE. TWO DAYS AGO, A SIMILAR ALERT WAS PUT ON FOR A 53 YEAR OLD MAN MISSING FOR A MONTH. THAT ALERT WAS LATER CANCELED, AND JUST LAST NIGHT, A TEN YEAR OLD GIRL REPORTED MISSING NEAR 29TH AND BROADWAY WAS FOUND SAFE AFTER AN EXTENSIVE SIX HOUR SEARCH OF THE AREA. ADDIE MEINERS IS DIGGING INTO LMPD맥스카지노�S OPERATING PROCEDURES. SHE JOINS US NOW LIVE TO BREAK DOWN THE NUMBER OF CASES THE DEPARTMENT WORKS EACH YEAR. ADDIE LMPD CHIEF PAUL HUMPHREY TELLS ME THE DEPARTMENT GETS AROUND 1900 MISSING PERSONS REPORTS EACH YEAR, SO WE ASKED FOR AN EXACT BREAKDOWN OF THOSE CASES AND HOW MANY ARE UPGRADED TO PUBLIC ALERTS. WHAT WE FOUND WAS SURPRISING. ACCORDING TO LMPD, IN 2024, THEY TOOK 1887 MISSING PERSONS. REPORTS. OF THOSE REPORTS, 62 MET THE DEPARTMENT맥스카지노�S CRITERIA FOR A PUBLIC ALERT. THAT맥스카지노�S JUST 3.3% OF THE TOTAL CASES. OF THOSE 62 ALERTS, 33 WERE CLASSIFIED AS OPERATION RETURN HOME. ACCORDING TO LMPD STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES, THOSE ALERTS ARE SENT WHEN A MISSING PERSON IS BELIEVED BY LMPD TO BE IN DANGER. THE TOP REASONS FOR THAT DISTINCTION. A MEDICAL CONDITION, DIMINISHED MENTAL CAPACITY. CONCERNS FOR THE PERSON맥스카지노�S MENTAL HEALTH, OR IF THEY맥스카지노�RE BELIEVED TO BE ENDANGERED. IN THE CASE OF TASHA WHITE, CHIEF PAUL HUMPHREY SAYS THAT BASED ON THE EVIDENCE THEY HAD WHEN THE REPORT WAS TAKEN ON MAY 1ST, THEY DID NOT BELIEVE WHITE WAS IN DANGER OR THAT THE SITUATION WARRANTED A PUBLIC ALERT. HUMPHREY ALSO SAYS SINCE THAT CASE, THE LMPD HAS REVIEWED THEIR POLICIES AND FOUND THAT PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED AND THAT NO CHANGES ARE NECESSARY. WE DON맥스카지노�T HAVE KNEE JERK REACTIONS. I THINK THAT맥스카지노�S PART OF THE PROBLEM THAT WE맥스카지노�VE HAD HISTORICALLY IS THAT WE맥스카지노�VE OFTEN BEEN AN AGENCY THAT MAKES SWEEPING CHANGES BECAUSE OF ONE ISSUE, AND I DON맥스카지노�T THINK THAT맥스카지노�S A GOOD WAY TO OPERATE. LMPD HAS ALSO TAKEN SCRUTINY BY THE COMMUNITY OVER WHETHER OR NOT RACE PLAYED A FACTOR IN HOW THE TASHA WHITE CASE WAS HANDLED. SO WE ASKED FOR A DEMOGRAPHIC BREAKDOWN OF THE MISSING PERSON CASES WHERE AN ALERT WAS ISSUED. OF THE 33 CASES ELEVATED TO AN OPERATION RETURN HOME STATUS IN 2024, 20 WERE WHITE, 12 WERE BLACK, AND ONE WAS HISPANIC. IT맥스카지노�S NOT RACIALLY MOTIVATED. WE HAVE OFFICERS THAT GO OUT THERE EVERY DAY TO WORK IN THIS COMMUNITY AND PROTECT PEOPLE OF ALL RACES, ALL GENDERS, ALL BACKGROUNDS AND RELIGIONS, AND I TRUST THAT IN PARTICULARLY IN THIS CASE, SINCE WE HAVE PUT A LOT OF SCRUTINY IN IT, THAT THAT WAS DONE THE RIGHT WAY AND IT WAS DONE WITHOUT ANY MOTIVATION OF RACE OR GENDER OR ANYTHING ELSE. NOW, IN ADDITION TO THOSE NUMBERS THAT WE GAVE YOU FROM 2024, LMPD ALSO GAVE US THEIR NUMBERS SO FAR FROM THIS YEAR. NOW, 591 CASES, MISSING PERSONS REPORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY LMPD. OF THOSE, TEN WERE UPGRADED TO AN OPERATION RETUR

LMPD has recently come under scrutiny as to how they issue a public alert for a missing person. In addition to looking at the department's Standard Operating Procedures regarding missing persons reports, we also took a look at the numbers.In 2024, LMPD took 1,887 Missing Persons reports. Of those reports, 62 met the criteria to issue a public alert. That's 3.28% of total cases. Of the 62 total cases that met the criteria for an alert, 33 were issued as an "Operation Return Home" and 29 were issued as "Golden Alerts."When issuing a public alert, according to LMPD's SOP, there are several types, including an Operation Return Home, Golden Alert, Green Alert, Amber Alert, Ashanti Alert, or lan Alert.The main requirements to issue a public alert is that the person missing has a mental disability, the person may require medical attention, or is believed to be endangered.In the case of Tasha White, the woman who was found dead a week after her family reported her missing, LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey said the department did not have enough evidence to suggest that White was in danger, which is why a public alert was not issued. Race has also been a topic that community members have expressed they feel played a role in the handling of this case. Humphrey said again on Thursday that it did not. "It's not racially motivated. We have officers that go out there every day to work in this community, and protect people of all races, all genders, all backgrounds and religions," said Humphrey. "I trust that, particularly in this case, since we have put a lot of scrutiny in it, that it was done the right way and it was done without any motivation of race or gender or anything else."When looking into the demographics of the 33 Operation Return Home alerts issued, 20 were White, 12 were Black, and one was Hispanic, 20 were male and 13 were female, and the average age of the missing persons was 41. According to LMPD, the top reasons that alerts were issued were because the person had a medical condition, had a diminished capacity, or was believed to have mental health issues. When asked why an LMPD officer did not enter White's home when her family gave permission to do so, Humphrey said that alone was not enough legally for the officer to do so."We can't do that. So, a third party cannot give us permission without what would constitute probable cause to enter somebody else's house," said Humphrey. " as an adult, has an expectation of privacy that you cannot sign away. And so, this is the thing about democracy is that there's a balance. And so we err on the side of making sure that we protect people's rights. And that's what was done in this case."Humphrey said LMPD is continuing to investigate the White case and hopes to be able to provide more information on it soon.

Of the 62 total cases that met the criteria for an alert, 33 were issued as an "Operation Return Home" and 29 were issued as "Golden Alerts."

When issuing a public alert, according to LMPD's SOP, there are several types, including an Operation Return Home, Golden Alert, Green Alert, Amber Alert, Ashanti Alert, or lan Alert.

The main requirements to issue a public alert is that the person missing has a mental disability, the person may require medical attention, or is believed to be endangered.

In the case of Tasha White, the woman who was found dead a week after her family reported her missing, LMPD Chief Paul Humphrey said the department did not have enough evidence to suggest that White was in danger, which is why a public alert was not issued.

Race has also been a topic that community members have expressed they feel played a role in the handling of this case. Humphrey said again on Thursday that it did not.

And so we err on the side of making sure that we protect people's rights. And that's what was done in this case."
