With all those degrees it seems like she could have a way higher paying job than a Police Chief. California colleges beat Oregon colleges in every way.
I'm sure that there might be a lot of bias against Oakland from some unintelligent commenters/Oregonians. But Oakland officer/s and several other police officers from the bay area were just in the news last year for passing around an underage minor for sexual favors.

Oakland has had a terrible history of its own police force. I lived in West Oakland for two years and LOVED every minute of it. The only 'bad part' about would be the interactions I had with police over supposed traffic violations and dealing with the court regarding those violations. One time I was even stopped in the "nicer" part of West Oakland on a mountain bike for supposedly not obeying some traffic light. It was then I realized that all this stopping was total racial harassment. You don't stop people on mountain bikes when there is no traffic. It was a completely dead street without any traffic. There was no need to stop me. That cop had it in for me because of my ethnicity (Latina). Luckily another cop saw the scene and also stopped. Then I was “let go”. I'll just say it. The bad cop was Latino and the good cop was Asian.

I had been pulled over many times in my neighborhood while driving. The officers were of various backgrounds some were White, African American and Latino. They all stopped me without reason as far as I could tell. Only some of the stops resulted in minor traffic violations. I assume the non-ticked stops were just them racially harassing people.

About four years ago, in Portland, I believe I almost was very close to being a victim of an "accidental police shooting" by Portland Police. Pro-tip: if officers approach you while you are doing absolutely nothing, not even driving, (I have learned the hard way), they have a bigger plan in mind. I was sitting in my car in an empty lot. It was around 4 pm, still light outside and I was just sitting there, not doing anything in particular. I am just sitting there not doing anything when an officer approaches me about some supposed complaint by a neighbor and he wanted to check my ID. I had been involved in an "altercation" where the other person had a weapon, a gun, and I was scared of this other person. In hindsight, I realize how incredibly naive it was to have expected an Oregon Police officer to help anyone of Latino/Hispanic heritage even if they are a victim of someone with a weapon. To my disbelief the other person was not charged. And neither was I--this is an important part of the story.
This cop who had approached me on a false premise (a lie) came back to my car EXTREMELY TENSE WITH HIS HAD ON HIS WEAPON saying I had been arrested and it involved a gun. I had been calm the entire time and now was being very consciously calm and not moving in any way and said I had not been charged for anything. He glaringly looked over me, seeing how I wouldn't move or in his mind "provoke him" in some way there was nothing more he could do. He eventually left. So while I was repeatedly racially harassed while driving in Oakland, I came eerily close to becoming an 'accidental' police shooting victim in Portland. I’m sure the IPR would turn this around and say how all Latinos are involved with guns and therefore I HAVE NOT brought a complaint about the incident to the attention of the CRC or IPR.
