Louisville, Kentucky, residents now have access to crime alerts in a newly revamped online crime mapping tool. The Louisville Metro Police Department, located in Jefferson County, launched a new online crime mapping tool. Users can enter their home address into a QuickFind tool to receive crime updates based on which of the county’s eight police divisions they live in.
