Virginia's first black female police chief says she was forced to resign.
"Some quite frankly did not like taking direction from an African American female," the former chief said.
Chapman, who became chief of the city's police force in 2016, said she met some resistance in her efforts to change a police department culture that, she said, included"bias and acts of systemic racism, discriminatory practices and abuse of authority."These"racial tensions" within the department became"blatantly apparent"
The Portsmouth Fraternal Order of Police said in a statement that"at no time did the Portsmouth FOP call for or attempt to call for a vote of no confidence" in Chapman. Chapman said when she met with Patton last week,"She began to read a scripted document that stated in part that I had lost the confidence of my department." When Chapman asked for further details from Patton, whom she said she had an"extremely close professional relationship" with, Patton"continued to state that she could not say anything more."
