Another Atlanta-based surveillance technology company, Flock Safety, provides LMPD with automated license plate reader (ALPR) cameras. ALPRs are a dragnet surveillance technology as cameras are placed along roadways with the specific intention of scanning every license plate that passes. LMD first started using Flock cameras in 2022 and has grown the use of ALPRs significantly since the initial launch. In September 2024, LMPD was using 136 Flock ALPRs and was in the process of installing 100 more across the city.

Connect Louisville is a large public and private camera network facilitated by Fusus. There is little public information regarding LMPD’s contract with Fusus. It’s possible that LMPD uses Fusus as its primary software at the agency’s real time crime center and this camera network is in addition to that.

Fusus also has a direct to consumer camera sales program which allows Louisville residents to buy a camera and either register it with LMPD or "integrate" the camera's feed into the Connect Louisville network, even allowing LMPD real-time access to cameras. Private camera owners with a non-Fusus camera are also able to register and integrate their camera into LMPD’s camera feed.

LMPD launched its drone program in 2021. Before LMPD had its own program, the agency partnered with the Kentucky State Police for the use of drones to monitor the protests of 2020.

In 2024, the program expanded into each of LMPD's eight divisions as each would have access to a drone and training for up to four officers as pilots. At the time of this announcement, the agency had seven drones and four pilots. The agency makes the odd distinction stating that drones aren't a tool of surveillance but for intelligence gathering.

At the end of 2024, LMPD refused to release any information on the agency's use of drones, including refusing to release flight record logs.

In 2018, Louisville Metro Police proposed using unmanned aerial vehicles armed with ShotSpotter microphones as first responders to locations of gunshots. Louisville was selected as one of 35 Champion Cities in the Bloomberg Philanthropies 2018 U.S. Mayors Challenge competition. This win included $100,000 to test this proposal. This outrageous plan never came to fruition.

In 2017, Louisville Metro Police activated ShotSpotter microphones, covering 6 square miles of the city in the First, Second, and Fourth Divisions. The use of ShotSpotter was later expanded to the Sixth Division, too.

In November 2016, an investigation into LMPD's use of social media monitoring tools reported that the agency had spent nearly $140,000 since 2014 building a powerful system designed to monitor individuals and trends. The agency was reportedly using tools like SnapTrends, which gave the agency 19 user accounts and the ability to monitor up to 9.5 million posts with no limits on a database of user profiles. At the time of this report, the agency did not have a policy for its use of social media monitoring software.
