Safety and Legal Security of Myles Cosgrove

UPDATE: We've now received word that Detective Myles Cosgrove's employment is being terminated, presumably due to political pressures being applied to the LMPD Chief of Police and the Mayor of Louisville. In the termination letter, Myles' actions were labeled as inconsistent with the Department's "training, values, and policy." Evidently, the Department's "training, values, and policy," in this case, don't account for the psychological trigger of being fired upon from within a dark apartment, the chaos of witnessing a fellow officer go down, and the reaction that specific situation could illicit, all of which occurred within a split matter of seconds. With the decision to terminate his employment comes consequences that now steep Myles' entire family in various hardships: the benefits of emotional therapy for the family's mental health that were being provided by the force are now gone, the loss of the family's health insurance amidst a global pandemic, the receiving of even more death threats to the family, the potential loss of Myles' retirement benefits, attorney fees, and now the trouble of seeking new employment due to the media's campaign against the Cosgrove name. Needless to say, this crowdfunding campaign must expand from its original intent and we are now updating this page with financial concern as to where this all may lead not just Myles, but his family who have all been placed in harm's way, directly and indirectly. Thank you to all those who have donated already. Please share this page for more exposure. God bless you all.

ORIGINAL POST: The family of Detective Myles Cosgrove, an officer involved in the tragic Breonna Taylor case, is starting this fund in order to help secure the safety of Myles and his immediate family going forward. It has recently become clear that it will be impossible for Myles to safely return to his position serving the community with the Louisville Metro Police Department. We hope to raise enough funds to help him purchase the remainder of his service time, or “air-time,” so that he can retire from the LMPD and continue to focus on the safety of his family, a family that has been put continually at-risk over the past few months.
