Anne Kirkpatrick Tapped as Next NOPD Chief by Cantrell, Sources Say
New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell is expected to select Anne Kirkpatrick as the next Superintendent of the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD). Kirkpatrick, who has over two decades of command experience and previously served as the first female chief of the Oakland Police Department, is set to become the first permanent female chief of the NOPD pending confirmation by the New Orleans City Council. Cantrell interviewed three finalists for the position, including Kirkpatrick, Interim Superintendent Michelle Woodfork, and David Franklin. Kirkpatrick's experience in reducing crime rates and her reputation for being decisive, courageous, credible, and ethical were highlighted during the selection process. The council confirmation hearings have yet to be scheduled.
Cantrell Nominates Former Oakland Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick to Lead NOPD
Mayor LaToya Cantrell has nominated Anne Kirkpatrick, former police chief of Oakland and Spokane, as the permanent police chief of New Orleans. Kirkpatrick's nomination comes after a secretive search process led by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. If confirmed by the City Council, Kirkpatrick will lead the New Orleans Police Department and work towards improving public safety in the city. The nomination is seen as a blow to interim Superintendent Michelle Woodfork, who had been serving as interim chief. Kirkpatrick's previous tenure in Oakland was marked by controversy and criticism over her handling of discipline and police reform.
