Abstract
By 2024 women were or had been police chiefs in New York City; Philadelphia; Washington, DC; Atlanta; Houston; Tampa; Seattle, and Portland, OR. They make up about 3% of all chiefs of police. But those who have broken the brass ceiling to become chiefs of police face a glass cliff; they are over-represented in high-risk leadership roles, often in troubled agencies, with an increased chance of failure. This paper documents examples of women who have broken the brass ceiling only to fall off the glass cliff because of events largely outside their ability to control.
