The new commissioner of the nation's fourth-largest city police force will start work Monday amid a surge in homicides and calls for action to address ongoing allegations of racism and gender discrimination.

Danielle Outlaw, the former police chief of Portland, Oregon, was chosen by Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney from a pool of more than 30 candidates to take the helm of the 6,500-officer force. Outlaw will be the first black woman to hold the position in Philadelphia.

Since Kenney announced her appointment at the end of December, Philadelphia has had a spate of homicides — 39 in fewer than 40 days. That follows the deadliest year for Philadelphia in more than a decade, with 355 homicides reported last year.
