Philadelphia police commissioner Outlaw resigns to take NY/NJ port authority role amid crime wave

Outlaw is stepping down after 3 years to become a deputy security chief at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
She was the first Black woman to lead the Philadelphia Police Department.
Her tenure faced challenges including protests, police scandals, and surging gun violence.
The mayor praised her efforts at reform but critics cite rising homicides and other issues.
An interim commissioner will serve until a new mayor selects a permanent replacement.
