Anne kirkpatrick. Welcome everyone to the 4 on 2. I am heather holmes. Reporter she is the first person ever to lead the department that is known as a frat house and we are learning more about who she is, she is from memphis, tennessee and she spent 5 years as the chief of the spokane, Washington Police department and she retired in 2014. During that time she also worked with the fbi, just over 6 months ago she was hired by the chicago Police Department to spearhead Police Reform efforts there before accepting the position in oakland. There is high hopes for the new chief test with turning around the department that has dealt with scandal and Violent Crime. Our reporter henry lee was at the News Conference and chief kirkpatrick said its about more than reforming the department but also transforming it. Reporter city officials said they did find this top cop at the critical time and she is ready to move beyond scandal and lead the department. Thank you so much mayor. Reporter withdrawal
