LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The Louisville Metro Police Department says they do not plan to make policy changes following the Kentucky Supreme Court’s ruling on no-knock warrants.

On Thursday, September 18, the Kentucky Supreme Court overturned Lexington’s ban on no-knock warrants, arguing the city’s ordinance conflicts with Kentucky’s Senate Bill 4 , which regulates no-knock warrants across the commonwealth.

Despite the ruling, LMPD released a statement saying they do not plan to change any policies at this time:
