New Orleans Police Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick, who has been giving public updates on the tragedy of the New Orleans Terror Attack, may seem familiar to those in the Puget Sound.
Prior to confirmation in September of 2023 as Superintendent in New Orleans, Kirkpatrick, served as Chief of Police in the cities of Ellensburg (1996 to 2001), Federal Way (2001 to 2006) and Spokane (2006 to January 2012), all in the State of Washington, as well as serving as Undersheriff of the King County Sheriff’s Office (December 2012 to July 2014).
Overall, Kirkpatrick has over 40 years of policing experience.
From 2017 to 2020, she served as Oakland’s police chief where she was fired by an independent commission. She later received a $1.5-million-dollar settlement after winning a lawsuit against the city for wrongful termination for exposing corruption and abuse of power within the department.
Prior to her tenure in Oakland, Kirkpatrick served as Bureau Chief in Chicago, where she was the liaison to the Department of Justice (DOJ) while the Chicago Police Department was under investigation for patterns and practice of civil rights violations, resulting in a consent decree.
According to her resume, Kirkpatrick has a JD from Seattle University, an MS in Counseling from the University of Memphis, and a BA in Business Administration from King College in Tennessee, her former home state.
Kirkpatrick is a graduate of the FBI Academy and is a National Instructor for the FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Association’s Leadership Training Program, where she instructs on topics including, but not limited to, Bias and Diversity, Emotional Intelligence and Leading Generations.

You forgot to mention that she likes to mow People down in the streets of New Orleans a Too!!! Why has this woman not been fined & sentenced to SOMETHING for running ppl over in the street 4 mts ago??? Where’s the investigation…cuz I know one thing, had any of us “Average Peasants” Ran Over ppl in the street alcohol or no alcohol… we’d be Paying for it & You know it!!!
I totally agree. She should not be allowed to work anywhere where she would be in control! She should have been fired immediately!
Shame on New Orleans for hiring someone like her. I hope all the families and those that were traumatized, file a lawsuit against the city.
Prayers to all that lost a loved one
Not one day in was she ever on the street. She must be pretty good on her back as she sucks as a Chief of Police.
Precisely! No street smarts, just a DEI hire!
I wanna know her street credibility as walking the beat at 2am in Oakland. All I’ve read is powerful desk jobs only and she exudes strength and power from second you see and hear her🤪🤦🤷♂️😂
OBAMA dei shill — Kirkpatrick is a National Instructor for the FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Association’s Leadership Training Program, where she instructs on topics including, but not limited to, Bias and Diversity, Emotional Intelligence and Leading Generations.
Google her resume……she worked for several departments and I bet everyone of those was happy to see her leave.
