What are the top three qualities you would like to see in the Monitor?

Open Text Responses – Q3. Are there any qualities in a mentor that are not listed that are important to you?

No former ties to law enforcement Wanting a greater good!

Facilitation, reporting, analysis Possessing an honest characteristic, not an influencer Dedication, devotion, patience, personality, competency, self-driven The ability of an independent monitor to maintain its oversight & independence from the culture of LMPD in Louisville Bridge-builder Experience researching alternatives to community engagement beyond policing None that come to mind Members of the community who can provide input concerning public views on the issues The monitor team needs to be able to withstand political pressure and remain objective Familiarity with ethnic and cultural diversity Prior experience with consent decree implies full understanding of all judicial processes, inherent in successfully implementing police reforms. Real experience, not just academic knowledge!

No ties to metro From the community Fair and unbiased, not hiding or minimizing problems, but appropriately recognizing successes and reforms achieved Not afraid to engage with LMPD about the data Zero ties to LMPD and FOP, from a diverse background Knowledge about mental health, homelessness and poverty Yes. To be truly independent, the monitor should not be an individual with ties to

LMPD or Mayors OƯice. Should also not be a former police oƯicer
