re: Teedy has chosen Anne Kirkpatrick as NOLA's new PD Chief

The search committee calling her a distant 4th and indications the council would challenge her plus some recent flubs probably sealed that more than anything

Woodfork didn't have the votes on the council.

Woodfork has done an ok job as the interim. But just like in football, you need to do the job at a smaller school first, to hone your chops to be ready for a big city full time gig. There have been too many errors because of her lack of experience.

If she wanted it, she would be an easy hire to be chief at a smaller police department, gain some experience, and then come back at some point as the chief under Mayor Oilver Thomas.
