Danielle Outlaw will step down this month to take a leadership position with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on the streets of Philadelphia, killing five people and wounding two boys, authorities said.Meanwhile, Outlaw faced a gender bias lawsuit from within the department that yielded a $1-million federal verdict to two female officers who said they endured a hostile work environment that included being put in undesirable jobs after they lodged sexual harassment complaints., where her handling of protests had also raised concerns.
At the port authority, Outlaw will be the deputy chief security officer. The agency also announced the creation of a new security and technology department that will oversee safety at facilities throughout the agency. The scrutiny on police funding, tactics and practices in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis police officers contributed to more than half of the leaders in the Major Cities Chiefs Assn. — a group composed of the heads of the 79 largest departments in the U.S. and Canada — to retire, resign or otherwise leave their posts in 2020 and 2021, including those in Dallas, Miami, Detroit and Boston.
“While there will be many Monday morning quarterbacks second guessing her performance and decision-making, I have nothing but a great deal of respect and admiration for the job that she has done for our city,” Parker, the presumptive favorite in the mayor’s race, said in a statement.
