Danielle Outlaw, fmr. Portland chief of police, will serve as the next commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Dept. — a first for a division that has been grappling with racial turmoil and leadership changes in the past year.
Kenny added that such violence often disproportionately"impact women, especially women of color within the Department."
"Commissioner Outlaw's commitment to restoring the community's trust in our police will be equally strong," Kenny said."She understands the history of race relations in Philadelphia, particularly the distrust that many residents justifiably harbor in the wake of decades of injustice." This is not Outlaw's first time making history. In October 2017, she became the first African American woman to be appointed Chief of Police in Portland, Oregon.
