Columbus's Chief retires/ As a trailblazer, Chief Jacobs is the first openly gay, woman police chief
https://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/columbus-police-honors-retiring-chief-kim-jacobs-with-walkout-procession-fridayAs a trailblazer, Chief Jacobs is the first openly gay, woman police chief in the division. She was also the first woman deputy chief and commander.
She joined CPD in 1979, and she first served as a patrol officer only a few years after Columbus began training women for that job.
Lieutenant Aimee Haley recognized the chief for paving the way.
"I've had the opportunity to be a police officer at CPD, not a female officer, just a police officer. Thank you for paving the way through the ranks for me and countless others," Haley said.
