After a 30-year career with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Cmdr. Rashall Brackney-Wheelock is stepping down to take on a position as chief of the George Washington University police department.
The news came in a press announcement released by the university the same day she posted photos from her recent wedding to Virginia native Stefan Wheelock.
“I am honored to be selected to lead G.W.’s police force,” she said in the statement. “I look forward to fostering positive police-community relations on campus to mitigate crime and enhance community wellness.”
Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay, who did not speak with Brackney-Wheelock about her departure until she returned from vacation May 18, said the G.W. force will be in good hands.
“George Washington University has made an excellent selection in naming Commander Brackney its chief of police,” he said. “She is highly qualified and is committed to excellence.”
