WIN $1 MILLION!
Gov. Andy Beshear invited Kentuckians to get a COVID-19 vaccine and enter for a Shot at a Million – the state’s new vaccine incentive drawing.
“This is a lifesaving and now possibly life-changing opportunity,” said Gov. Beshear. “You can get your shot of hope and then enter for a shot at $1 million or a shot at one of 15 full scholarships – both protecting you from this deadly virus and possibly transforming your future.”
The Governor announced two types of drawings that permanent residents of Kentucky can enter to win, at shotatamillion.ky.gov, if they have received at least the first dose of the Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine.
$1 million: Kentuckians 18 years old and older who have received at least their first dose of a Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, or the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, may enter to win one of three $1 million drawings.
Full Scholarship: Kentuckians 12 to 17 years old who have received at least their first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine may enter to win one of 15 full scholarships to a Kentucky public college, university, technical or trade school, which includes tuition, room-and-board and books.
Entering Shot at a Million Drawing:
Visit shotatamillion.ky.gov. Entry requires Kentuckians to provide personal and contact information, including: name, birth date, email address, phone number, home address and the name and location of the place that provided you with the vaccine. Entry also requires agreement to the official rules of the drawing and agreement to allow the Kentucky Department for Public Health to verify your vaccination information. The website also offers information about eligibility, how to find a vaccine appointment, frequently asked questions and official rules.

Track Progress on LMPD Reforms
Mayor Greg Fischer and Louisville Metro Police Chief Erika Shields today provided an update on progress on recommendations outlined earlier this year from Hillard Heintze’s independent review of the police department – and shared a new dashboard where the public can track further work.
Chief Shields agreed it’s critical that the public have confidence in the process. “Building trust and accountability means being transparent about the work we are doing, and the work left to be done, and how we are proceeding,” the Chief said. “The dashboard also will help LMPD stay on track as we work to meet our goals.”
While there is much work yet to do, she said she wanted to share the new online dashboard now so that police, Metro Council and other city leaders, as well as the public, can keep track of the progress on the various recommendations.

Juneteenth marks the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation.
While the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1865, we understand that historically and currently with COVID-19 and the racial uprisings of 2020 that we still have a long way to go when it comes to facing racism, health disparities, and medical mistrust.
To that end, we along with Roots 101, Frazier Museum, and Louisville Metro have worked for several years on the (Un)Known Project, which will use public art installations and experiences to support Louisville – the 4th most segregated city in America – in its current efforts in dealing with racism and inequity. Juneteenth will mark the unveiling of the first (Un)Known Project Public Art Installation on the banks of the Ohio River.
We hope you will mark your calendars and join us on June 19 for Juneteenth: Past, Present, Future including a Poetry and Performances at Roots 101 (124 N 1st St) starting at 12pm, A Journey In Our Footprints along the riverwalk from 12:30-1:30pm, an (Un)Known Project Site Dedication overlooking the river at 1:30p, and a COVID-19 Vaccine site open from 10a - 5p.

Marketplace, Craig's List, and all other online sellers, if you are looking for a public place to exchange your items, look no further than in the parking lot of a police station.

Tips for using MetroSWAP:
Agree to meet the person ONLY at a MetroSWAP station.
Meet only during daylight hours.
Tell someone you trust where you are meeting and at what time.
Meet in the parking lot. There will be two (2) designated parking spots at each location for use.
Be informed about crimes with LMPD's crime mapping website
The Louisville Metro Police Department uses a Crime Mapping website to display crime on a map in Jefferson County. Zoom in to see crimes in an area, or put an address in the address bar at top left to search. You may sign up for auto email alerts for crime around an address. Reports are made available to the public after a process of internal review, often in the same day as the report taken. Due to the nature of some crimes, reports are made available to public upon the completion of a thorough investigation and will be made available as soon as practical.
Please call the LMPD non-emergency number, instead of sending an email, if you're seeing suspicious activity in your neighborhood. Sending emails to LMPD delays response, and officers need to be dispatched for the activity. These citations continue the nuisance abatement process. The LMPD non-emergency line is 574-7111 or 574-2111
