    Philadelphia’s Law and Order Transition: Navigating DEI Challenges in Policing Leadership

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 7 Mins Read

    Philadelphia is self destructing like all Democrat controlled cities. Their racist DEI programs further cement the decline and exodus of citizens. 

    This is what DEI brings to a city:  JUST IN: The Philadelphia police department has fired their first ever DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) officer. Good DEI officer Leslie Marant was fired just hours before new commissioner Kevin Bethel was set to take office. Marant’s base salary was a whopping $170,568. She was told her “services” were no longer needed. The move also comes as Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker signed an executive order declaring a public safety emergency. “I want the world to know that I am fully committed to ending this sense of lawlessness and bringing order back to our city and a sense of lawfulness,” she said as she vowed to hire 300 more police officers and to restore stop-and-frisk.  

    In a recent turn of events, the spotlight has shifted to Philadelphia, where the city is striving for a return to law and order under the newly sworn-in mayor, Cherelle Parker. Widely regarded as the most pro-police candidate among the Democratic choices, Parker is stepping into a challenging role, facing both crime and drug-related issues.

    The city’s pursuit of law and order took an unexpected twist just hours before Parker’s inauguration when Leslie Marant, the Philadelphia Police Department’s first diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officer, was terminated from her position. This move comes amid a broader national discussion about the true nature and effectiveness of DEI initiatives, particularly in critical institutions like law enforcement.

    Marant assumed her role in April 2022 and was reportedly dismissed during a Tuesday morning meeting by acting Commissioner John M. Stanford. The termination was attributed to departmental restructuring under the new police commissioner, Kevin Bethel, suggesting a shift in priorities within the law enforcement agency.

    Spokesperson Sgt. Eric Gripp emphasized the commonality of organizational restructuring under new leadership, expressing gratitude to Marant for her dedication and professionalism during her tenure with the Philadelphia Police Department (PPD). However, Mayor Parker’s spokesperson refrained from commenting on the personnel matter, respecting the confidential nature of the issue.

    Despite Marant’s dismissal, the DEI office will persist, maintaining its commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the police department. The department plans to appoint an interim director soon, and a nationwide search for a permanent successor to Marant is already in the works, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

    Marant, appointed under ex-Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw, brought a unique background to her role, having previously served as chief counsel to the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission. With degrees in finance, human resources, and law from Temple University, Marant lacked prior law enforcement experience but was entrusted with leading the department’s DEI initiatives and developing relevant strategies. Her salary was reported at $170,569.

    The decision to remove Marant from her position has prompted discussions about the role and qualifications of DEI officers in law enforcement. Critics argue that a lack of law enforcement experience may hinder the effectiveness of individuals in such roles, while proponents contend that diverse perspectives are essential in shaping inclusive policies within police departments.

    The termination has also raised questions about the true motives behind DEI initiatives and whether they genuinely contribute to positive change within law enforcement agencies. The city’s commitment to law and order under Mayor Parker’s leadership is juxtaposed against the backdrop of ongoing debates about the balance between diversity initiatives and the pressing need for effective policing.

    As Philadelphia navigates this period of transition, the city’s residents, law enforcement officers, and policymakers are left to ponder the future direction of the DEI office and its impact on the overall effectiveness of the police department. Only time will reveal the outcomes of these changes and their implications for the delicate balance between diversity, equity, and inclusion in law enforcement.

    Major Points Discussed:

    • DEI Programs are just another reason for citizens to suffer and finally leave the city for a Republican state like Florida or Texas
    • Mayor Cherelle Parker, recognized as a pro-police advocate, takes office with a commitment to restore law and order in the city.
    • Leslie Marant, Philadelphia Police Department’s first diversity, equity, and inclusion officer, is fired just before Mayor Parker’s inauguration.
    • Despite Marant’s termination, the DEI office remains active, signaling the city’s ongoing commitment to fostering diversity and inclusion within the police department.
    • Acting Commissioner John M. Stanford cites organizational restructuring as the reason for Marant’s dismissal.
    • Leslie Marant, lacking prior law enforcement experience, was appointed under ex-Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw and held degrees in finance, human resources, and law from Temple University.
