Report: High-ranking CPD official to be chief of Oakland PD

Anne Kirkpatrick, once a finalist for the top cop job at the Chicago Police Department, is leaving CPD to become police chief in Oakland, California, an Oakland television station is reporting.

Anthony Guglielmi, spokesman for the CPD, said he could not confirm Kirkpatrick's departure. No officials with the Oakland department could be reached to confirm the report.

Kirkpatrick, the former police chief of Spokane, Washington, was picked by Chicago Police Supt. Eddie Johnson to head the department's new Bureau of Professional Standards last year. Before that, she had been one of the finalists to become Chicago Police superintendent in a selection process that resulted in Mayor Rahm Emanuel hiring Johnson earlier this year.
