Timeline
The three-member Garda Inspectorate examines operational, investigative, managerial and policing strategies to ensure that these meet best practice. O'Toole's role within the Garda was to clean up the then-current scandalous conditions in the Gardaí. The Morris Tribunal pronounced that it was "staggered" by the level of indiscipline and insubordination in the force and the Irish Government responded with a revised code of discipline. O'Toole served her full term of office and was asked to stay on until the new Chief Inspector could take up his position in July 2012. She remains a director of a company registered in Ireland; the company report gives her address as the flat above the offices of the Garda Inspectorate in Stephen's Green, Dublin.
On May 9, 2006, her 52nd birthday, O'Toole officially announced that she was leaving the Boston Police Department to move to Ireland. She was the first Chief Inspector of the Garda Inspectorate, set up to ensure that the resources available to the Garda Síochána are used so as to achieve and maintain the highest levels of efficiency and effectiveness in its operation and administration, as measured by reference to the best standards of comparable police services and report to Ireland's Minister for Justice and Equality on changes to improve efficiency in line with best international practice. She then returned to the U.S. and took her position in Seattle.
While serving as Commissioner of the Boston Police, O'Toole was a central figure in the controversy surrounding the fatal Shooting of Victoria Snelgrove during celebrations following the Boston Red Sox victory over the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium in Game 7 the 2004 American League Championship Series. During attempts to control the crowd that had gathered near Fenway Park, Boston police fired a "less lethal" FN 303 round, which missed its intended target and struck Snelgrove in the eye, resulting in her death approximately 12 hours later.
Her career includes service as Lieutenant Colonel of Massachusetts State Police from 1992 to 1994; she was appointed to the cabinet position of Secretary, Executive Office of Public Safety in Massachusetts, by Governor William Weld in 1994 and served in this position until 1998. She then became a member of the Patten Commission headed by Lord Patten of Barnes which reformed policing in Northern Ireland and led to the formation of the Police Service of Northern Ireland. In May 2014, she was nominated by Mayor Ed Murray to become Seattle's first female chief of police.
Kathleen M. O'Toole (née Horton; born May 9, 1954) served as the Chief of Police for the Seattle Police Department (SPD) from June 23, 2014, to December 31, 2017. She was the first female commissioner of the Boston Police Department, when appointed by Mayor of Boston Thomas M. Menino in February 2004.
O'Toole was born in 1954 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts and moved to Marblehead at age 13 and to Boston, Massachusetts at age 18. She resided in Boston from that time until she took a position in Ireland in 2006. O'Toole graduated from Boston College with a B.A. in 1976 and from New England School of Law with a JD in 1982.
