Sacramento Bee-
The Oakland Police Commission voted unanimously Thursday to fire the city’s first female police chief without cause.
Commission chair, Regina Jackson, said Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick’s ouster comes after “the Oakland Police Department’s failure to increase compliance with the court-ordered reforms” required under a federal settlement more than a decade ago.
The decision was supported by Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who appointed Kirkpatrick in 2017.
“The Police Commission is the community’s voice in our system of checks and balances, and I respect its authority and its role,” Schaaf said in a statement.
