Danielle Outlaw, a 19-year veteran of the Oakland Police Department who started as a police explorer when she was in high school, will serve as Portland's next chief, only the third outsider named to lead the Police Bureau.
Her appointment Monday by Mayor Ted Wheeler comes at a critical time when community and police relations are strained and the force faces a daunting list of federally mandated reforms.
The mayor said Outlaw shares his goals of improving bureau relationships with Portland's communities of color, increasing diversity on the 950-member force and embracing equity.
Outlaw, 41, who has served as a deputy chief since 2013, rose to the top of a pool of 33 candidates who applied for the job. She becomes the first African American woman to head the bureau.

Someone please explain what all that gibberish has to do with Law Enforcement.
She’ll be fine as long as she doesn’t enforce the law. This should be good.
AA AA disaster in the making
She is beholden to them that got her there
I hope the new police chief turns out to be a law abiding person and puts her boot on the neck of the scum in Portland.....regardless of color or party affiliation.
Affirmative action + Diversity hire = a totally unqualified person for the job. But hey... It is Portlandia.
I know this won’t happen in a million years, but her first act as Police Chief should be to arrest the mayor for ordering the police not to provide safety to ICE agents.
Where did they find the “first African American woman”? Must be very old.
Portlanistan?
He should have plucked the Detoilet stoolie from Dallas.
If she can do the job, more power to her, I bet she is a law and order type. Being a cop changes you.
If she is serious about the police job, which entails identifying, catching, and incarcerating criminals, she will remove criminals who victimize communities of color, improving relationships with the many sane Americans in those neighborhoods. She will hire officers who can interact with persons of all political viewpoints, common languages, and honorable occupations, increasing diversity if appropriate, enabling the police force to identify and apprehend foreign criminals who prey on newly arrived immigrants. Moreover, she will embrace equity, keeping anyone from blocking the streets for weeks without proper authorization and good purpose (usually road repair and reconstruction) and leaving large mounds of litter, even if they happen to be smelly, white, and liberal.
Sure to have a fantastic outcome. Quota Hires always do, right?
Let’s see what affirmative action gets them.
She is 41 and commanding a 1,000 man force after being there but 3 years.
She DOES NOT have the respect of the force.
PS: I seriously doubt that Portland in Oregon would hire a competent police chief serious about fairly enforcing the law and removing masses of litter and filth that block the streets and make neighborhoods unpleasant or even unlivable.
Yep. I know what I want to say, but I’ll wish her luck and a professional, law-abiding career instead.
Not an illegal Hispanic lesbians? For shame.
Wow!
They found the first African American woman, dug her up, and are going to make her Chief.
Way to go Portland!
