Public Safety Committee To Discuss Youth Detention Center At Its February 28th Meeting

The Louisville Metro Council’s Public Safety Committee will discuss the recent Accreditation Results for the Youth Detention Center when it meets on Wednesday, February 28th.

“I am very interested in hearing about the current situation with the Youth Detention Center,” says Councilwoman Jessica Green (D-10) who chairs the Committee. “There have been recent media reports which have raised some serious questions about operations there. I believe the Committee would like to get a better understanding of just what is going on since we are responsible juveniles in our custody.”

The Councilwoman has asked Dr. Ursula Mullins of Youth Detention Services to discuss the accreditation results. She will be joined by Vincent James of the Mayor’s Office. They will discuss the recently completed audit of the Center’s operations and programs.

The Public Safety Committee meets at 3:30pm in Council Chambers, Historic City Hall, 601 West Jefferson Street.

The meeting is carried live on Metro TV, Spectrum Cable Channel 184 or on UVERSE at Channel 99. All meetings of the Metro Council are streamed live. Go to the Metro Council Home page at Louisvilleky.gov/metrocouncil and click on the Metro Council Agendas link.
