WDSU

quote:

Sources tell WDSU New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell has chosen who she wants to become the next NOPD Superintendent. Anne Kirkpatrick is expected to be tapped for the position.

...

Kirkpatrick has more than two decades of command experience and was the first female chief to lead the Oakland Police Department. She is also a political consultant and has worked with the FBI. She has a law degree.

...

Kirkpatrick now prepares to lead the New Orleans Police Department as the new superintendent and the first permanent female chief.

For nearly 20 years she has led four different department, three in Washington State, including Spokane, Ellensburg and Federal Way.

She later became the Bureau Chief in Chicago and was the liaison for the Department of Justice as it was under investigation for a pattern of civil rights investigations.

Kirkpatrick was later recruited as the first female chief of Oakland, California, which was also under federal oversite and still is.

Looks like she moves around a lot...

quote:

On January 4, 2017, after six months in Chicago, Kirkpatrick was appointed by Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, California, as the city's first female Chief of Police. She was sworn in on February 27, 2017.

On November 6, 2017, the chair of Oakland's privacy advisory commission, Brian Hofer, and seven others filed a complaint with Oakland's Citizens Police Review Board claiming that Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick had made false statements about an August raid in West Oakland.

On February 20, 2020, the Oakland Police Commission voted unanimously to fire Kirkpatrick with Schaaf joining in the decision as required by the law for a police chief to be fired without cause, saying that the commission's trust in Kirkpatrick was "irrevocably broken". Kirkpatrick later revealed that she was terminated in retaliation for not performing special favors for commission members. She filed a Federal whistleblower lawsuit against the city. She won the federal lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination and won more than $337,000 in Monterrey damages.

How’s she going to command a police force when she can’t even command a brush for her hair. This world is going to shite.

Surprised she didn't go with Michelle. LaToya trying to appease the Uptown and Lakeview crowd with this pick?

The OT was going to shite on any choice, but this is the one I wanted. Way more experience than the other candidates, has worked in places with similar problems, and is not afraid to stand up to the local politicians. We'll see how she does, and if anyone will actually listen to her. I thought for sure that the fix was in for Woodfork.

A brief look at her background shows she went to Seattle University Law School, which features the Korematsu Center for Law and Equality, dedicated to "training the next generation of lawyers who will champion efforts to achieve social justice." LINK

Our institutions of higher education are severely infected and diseased.

Im sure this hire will work out well for city of New Orleans and its constituents. Sad sad times.

As an inner city cop with two decades on the job, there are few things more insulting and uninspiring than having to answer to bureaucratic outside appointed law enforcement administrators.

Inner city policing is a tough job that takes years to fully understand all of the factors that contribute to rising crime. More importantly, it requires support from leadership to be able to effectively do the work that is necessary in order to curb violence and maintain law and order.

Bringing in an outside candidate with minimal front line experience is a recipe to create a chilling effect. Simply put, cops know they get paid the same if they show up and do the minimum.

Choosing a leader that is respected and proven matters. No one cares how inclusive or morally righteous the Mayor’s selection is when they have to live in constant fear of violence.

Wrong Kirkpatrick

Not saying I did a 3 way with Jeane and Maggie (Dennis was a cuck) but not saying I did not either.

If she was unanimously voted to be fired in Oakland for breaking the officers trust, that means she did a couple things

1: she went after officers for minor and frivolous things and punished them harshly for her findings

2: she took the sides of any and all citizen complaints and situations over backing her officers and harshly punished the officers for not hugging people when force is actually needed

I guess she didn't want to risk Vappie sleeping with his superiors as well.
