so he basically said three years in and the CPS hasn't done anything.
his words now to her are too little, too late.

Personally I agree with you. He was Deputy Chief for years before becoming Chief and all together has been part of the problem for 30 plus years that he has been a CPS officer. (It is noteworthy the Chief himself says this publicly...he takes full responsibility for the current situation because he has been there for his entire career). I think the female officer will not be changing her mind exactly because it is too little to late for her.
But...and this is huge...she posed a question to the Chief and the Commission at the end of her resignation speech...which was to ask what were they going to do to prevent more resignations in the future by sworn and civilian women like her. And she thanked the Chair of the Commission for his responses which included recognizing the Chief for the hard work that has been going into changing the culture of the organization.
Yes it is too little too late for her. But even she sees it is not too late for many who will come after her. Chaffin does not get absolved of his past failings but a different Chief may well have no priority to change things going forward. So far, by my observations, he deserves credit for trying to do the right thing now.
