The Los Angeles City Council has voted to rename the Northeast Community Police Station after Margaret"Peggy" York, the department's first female deputy chief.
The station serves about 250,000 people in communities that include Atwater Village, Cypress Park, Eagle Rock, East Hollywood, Echo Park, Glassell Park, Highland Park, Los Feliz, Mt. Washington, and Silver Lake.What we need to do is to continue to make sure that those doors remain open for women in the department of sworn and civilian personnel to continue to ascend the ranks.
As part of one half of an all-female investigative team, York's groundbreaking career helped inspire the 1980's TV show"Cagney & Lacey," about two female police detectives. Her husband, retired Judge Lance Ito, once told an interviewer that York rarely watched the show, saying it probably wasn't at the top of her to-do list for a"mother and a busy professional."
