Former Chief Thomas Quinlan, demoted Thursday by Mayor Andrew Ginther, was a 30-year member of the agency and was unlikely to make the big changes needed because of his career there, the activists said. The next chief should be Black and preferably a woman, Jones said, saying she believes Black women can be transformative leaders by communicating effectively. Ginther, a Democrat, said a new national search will be conducted for the next chief, though activists note the last national search ended in an internal hire.
