New Orleans mayor nominates police veteran Kirkpatrick as chief following her reform efforts in WA, CA
Fox News
Anne Kirkpatrick, a police veteran who served as chief of police in Spokane and Oakland, has been nominated to replace former New Orleans Police Chief Shaun Ferguson.
"With over 35 years of experience in law enforcement, coupled with 20 years of leading police departments of even larger municipalities, Kirkpatrick has proven that she is more than capable and has what it takes to now lead the world-class NOPD," Cantrell said in a news release.
Kirkpatrick's job history includes six years as chief of police in Spokane. She was tapped to help with police reform efforts in Chicago under then-Mayor Rahm Emmanuel in 2017. But she left that job soon afterward to head up Oakland's police department.
