Kirkpatrick officially assumed office after being sworn in on February 27. On January 4, 2017, Schaaf appointed Anne Kirkpatrick to serve as the next police chief. The department had been under multiple investigations at the time of the appointment. Mayor Libby Schaaf appointed City Administrator Sabrina Landreth as head of the department on June 17, 2016, putting it under civilian control, after 3 police chiefs resigned within 9 days. Oakland PD monitor Robert Warshaw forced Whent to resign due to the role of Whent (and his wife) in the coverup of a sexual-misconduct scandal involving Oakland police officers (as well as personnel from multiple other agencies) and a child sex trafficking victim. Whent spent two decades on the force, joining in 1996. He became interim chief in May 2013, replacing interim chief Anthony Toribio, who served for only two days after chief Howard Jordan left for uncited medical reasons.

Sean Whent became police chief in May 2014. She provides leadership, vision and direction to the Department and its command staff and promotes collaboration, communication and coordination with other city agencies and community organizations. The chief manages and oversees the planning, development and implementation of all law enforcement and crime prevention programs for the City. The Chief of the Oakland Police Department is an office held by the executive head and highest-ranking officer of the Oakland Police Department.
