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.

NBCBLK Great last name

KGWNews Portland Police leadership has been struggling for years because, of a Mayor that hamstrings their ability to enforce. Each Chief appointed is a figure head. Philadelphia is like Baltimore nothing will change.

Race race race......

Portland is the laughing stock of the country😂. Good luck with dat philly😂

Wait, she’s already out Wth is happening in Portland? Oh wait, nevermind It’s portland... with a lower case P for PoorExcuseForACity. Best wishes her way. Hopefully she can uphold the law there since she wasn’t able to there.

Because gender and ethnicity now override every other qualification.

If she is competent enough it doesn't matter if she is black or if she is woman... Meh people and media getting ridiculous more and more... Diminishing her accoplishment by focusing on her race and gender instead of her professionalism ...

No one cares what skin color she is. They want someone who can do a good job. She didn’t handle the Antifa terrorism very well in Portland.

She did such a great job against Antifa!

Congrats!

Portland has a history of supporting terrorist groups and preventing police from protecting its citizens. This does not bode well for Philadelphia.

She can defend white supremacy in Philly.
