The appointment is effective March 26, when Chief Ralph Terrazas is scheduled to retire.
Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Crowley’s nomination Jan. 18 alongside City Council President Nury Martinez, Crowley and Terrazas outside the Frank Hotchkin Memorial Training Center.
Crowley took the firefighters’ exam in 1998 and placed among the top 50 scores out of 16,000 applicants, according to the department. During her 22 years at the department, she rose through the ranks as firefighter, firefighter paramedic, engineer, fire inspector, captain I, captain II, battalion chief, assistant chief, fire marshal and deputy chief.
As deputy chief, Crowley helped develop a five-year strategic plan aimed at fostering a culture within the department that is more open to change, according to the mayor’s office. She said she will build on that effort, if confirmed as chief, to deepen existing efforts and create new ways to foster equity and inclusion within the department, the mayor’s office added.
Terrazas, who became the department’s first Latino chief when appointed in 2014, previously announced his intention to retire this year. Kristin Crowley, the highest ranking woman in the LAFD, is nominated for chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department on Tuesday, January 18, 2022. Crowley would be the first female fire chief to lead the department.
