The City of Richmond is making history by hiring the first female police chief. Bisa French will also be the only black female police chief in the state of California. Prior to being police chief, she was part of Richmond police for 22 years joining in 1998.
Bisa Frank is born and raised in San Francisco. Her first official day as police chief will be on August 1.
I do think it's important for young girls to see people like me in these positions because I want them to see themselves. I never saw myself and that’s why I never thought of myself as the chief.
