Dr. Redick brings unparalleled expertise and passion to her role as President and CEO, shaped by a distinguished 29-year career with the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Rising through the ranks from a county clerical worker to Assistant Chief, she shattered barriers as one of the “less-than-one-percent” women of color in law enforcement executive leadership. During her executive tenure at CHP, she provided executive oversight for operations spanning 25 counties, overseeing hundreds of personnel and managing critical functions, including public safety, emergency response, and organizational development.

Dr. Redick’s strategic vision is rooted in her extensive leadership experience in a multi-billion-dollar state agency and her academic credentials: a Master of Science in Law Enforcement and Public Safety Leadership from the University of San Diego and a Doctor of Education in Organizational Change and Administration from California Baptist University. A lifelong educator and mentor, she has instructed law enforcement leaders for over 20 years and currently serves as adjunct faculty at the University of San Diego and San Joaquin Delta College.

Her leadership philosophy emphasizes innovation, equity, and empowerment, driven by her commitment to fostering inclusive communities and championing underrepresented voices. Dr. Redick’s contributions extend to her roles in professional organizations, including the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE) and the Association of American University of Women (AAUW), where she actively advances public safety and equity initiatives. She has successfully collaborated on national projects in collaboration with the National Highway Transportation and Safety Agency and Johns Hopkins University, bringing a crucial equity perspective as a recognized subject matter expert.

Dr. Redick’s exceptional background, combined with her deep dedication to purposeful leadership and organizational change, uniquely positions her to guide her organization’s vision and mission toward creating transformative impact.
