Outlaw previously worked for the Oakland Police Department, where she served as deputy chief from 2013 until 2017. In December 2019 Outlaw was chosen to assume the job of Philadelphia police commissioner.

On December 30, 2019, the City of Philadelphia and Mayor Jim Kenney announced the appointment of Outlaw as the new Commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department, beginning February 10. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler accepted Outlaw's resignation the same day, and she was succeeded by her deputy, Jami Resch.

In 2017, when Mayor Ted Wheeler announced Outlaw would be replacing interim chief Mike Marshman, Outlaw said that she has been trying to change the perception of policing nationwide. Outlaw began serving as chief of police for the Portland Police Bureau in 2017.

When Outlaw joined the Portland force in 2017, the city's Office of Equity released data stating that a quarter of PPB officers were women, and a quarter of officers identified as people of color. In the short time that she has been in Portland, she has stated that she hopes to improve this statistic and make a difference within the bureau. Outlaw says that she has a "...hope to support both demographic diversity and 'diversity of thought' in the bureau."

Outlaw graduated from the University of San Francisco with a Bachelor of Arts in sociology, followed by a Master of Business Administration from Pepperdine University. She entered the Pepperdine Grazio Business School to differentiate herself from people in her field. In addition, Chief Outlaw was the recipient of the Oakland Black Officers' Association Trailblazer Award, the Holy Names High School Alumnae Association Citation for Service and the 2015 Police Executive Research Forum, which also known as PERF, Gary P. Hayes Award.
