The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has made major changes to its operation as it battles staffing shortages - including no longer responding to 'in-progress emergencies' and limiting the number of officers on the night shift. Police Chief Larry Scirotto announced in February that during the earlier morning hours there will be fewer officers on staff and lower priority calls will get sent to a telephone reporting unit rather than a person. The chief said the changes need to be made so his 740 officers can more efficiently serve the community, reported WTAE. According to WPXI, calls for theft, harassment, criminal mischief and burglary alarms will all be handled by the telephone reporting unit. 'When there is an event that is not in-progress, we're going to take an reroute that call to our telephone reporting unit,' said Scirotto. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/darien-dunstan3/message

An alteration in the operation of the Pittsburgh law enforcement department has been implemented. The crux of the change revolves around the police force not physically answering calls unless they fall under the category of 'in-progress emergencies.' As a result, a system in which such non-emergency calls are directed to a telephone recording unit has been put in place. The city's official online platform delineates the developments. It reveals the establishment of an enhanced Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU), operational from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. daily, inclusive of weekends. Non-urgent calls that do not necessitate an in-person law enforcement presence would be assigned to the TRU. However, the TRU's jurisdiction does not extend to all call categories. Specifically, the TRU won't handle any 'in-progress' calls if a suspect could potentially still be at the location, situations where someone might need medical assistance, domestic dispute cases, calls involving hard evidence or where the Mobile Crime Unit needs to examine the site. Interestingly, between the hours of 3 and 7 a.m., a period typically characterized by a decreased frequency of 911 calls, no office-based officers would be found at the six police stations around the city. A compensatory system, utilizing call boxes routed to 911, has been set up. On the topic of personnel resources, some nights might witness the entire city being patrolled by merely 22 officers. 'Despite the low figure, we believe this staffing level is sufficient to cover the city during those quiet early hours, comprising just 8% of total call time,' confidently declared Pittsburgh's Police Chief Larry Scirotto. Along with these changes, certain types of calls, including cases of theft, harassment, criminal mischief, and burglary alarms, will not receive a direct physical response from officers. Chief Scirotto justified this alteration, pointing to a decline in the city's police personnel. Sympathetic to the circumstances, the chief highlighted the reduction in officer numbers from 835 at the start of 2023 to a present quantity of 740. With an optimal full staff believed to be around 900, the police force clearly faces substantial staffing challenges. The chief, having been engaged in strategic planning, elaborated on the former system. He referred to an imbalance where about a third of the police officers worked the night shift, even though almost two-thirds of the call volume came in the more sociable hours, between 2 p.m. and 2 a.m. Memorably, he remarked, 'This made one shift overly stretched, under-resourced, while another was experiencing a surplus of staff. Therefore, this overhaul was fundamentally important.' The newly implemented changes aim to rectify this mismatch of resources. In a conversation with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Scirotto clarified last week that 'On an average night, we used to have around seven officers patrolling each zone, tallying about 42 officers. We needed to cut down 12 officers, not 112 as some might think.' Bob Swartzwelder, holding the position as the president of the Fraternal Order of Police #1, expressed skepticism regarding the new measures. 'The police are running short on manpower at an alarming rate and it's becoming an increasingly taxing situation', he ominously observed. Swartzwelder did recognize there might be approximately 25 to 30 officers in operation during the 3-7 a.m. shift, but emphasized they are engaged in specialized tasks. His concerns, thus, were centered around these officers being potentially overloaded by an upsurge in the number of tasks. 'The current strategic approach seemingly relies on a combination of hope and reliance on data', Swartzwelder commented with an air of hesitancy. He left an open-ended remark 'Whether this strategy proves to be the right or turns disastrous, only time will tell.' Overall, the changes seem to be an attempt to align resources with needs. While every city hopes to have a full, robustly staffed police department, adjustments must be made to address shortages. Clearly, not everyone is sold on the idea, but it is an adaptive strategy that carries potential benefits. As the city of Pittsburgh steps into this new method of law enforcement operation, it presents a test case. Only with the passage of time, observation, and revisions as necessary, will the effectiveness of this approach in response to personnel shortages and operational need, become discernible.

To know my cousin Paul is to know his family, especially his mom and dad, my Aunt Susie and Uncle Max. Although they love each other and have a funny way of saying it, they love talking about Paul way more. He was the “love of their life” (their two daughters don’t mind them saying it, either, because they know it’s true.) So when Paul was killed in the line of duty, their world was turned upside down. This is how it all started. If you listen closely, you can hear Paul laughing.
On April 4th, 2009, Pittsburgh Police Officer Paul J. Sciullo II was gunned down in the line of duty, along with two other officers, in the worst police shooting in the city’s history.

Paul was my cousin and this is a collection of stories about the impact he had on the lives of others, turning grief into joy, and what it means to be truly happy in what you do.

Ford’s influence in his community has divulged a heroic display of strength, wisdom, faith, and fortitude. His knowledge of social disparities and injustice comes from personal experience. When Leon was 19 years old his life drastically changed. November 11, 2012, he was unjustly shot five times by the Pittsburgh Police during a racially charged traffic stop. This horrific case of mistaken identity has left him physically paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, but Ford hasn’t allowed his circumstances to deter him from having a positive impact on his community. Through mentorship, he has sparked a movement cultivating leaders, organizers and social entrepreneurs by empowering them to use their voices, platforms, and resources to evoke change and reshape their communities for generations to come. His mentorship endeavors have transcended into Universities. Ford’s latest partnership with Duquense University bridges the gap between the community, students, professors and community leaders through a program known as “The Voices Project”. This program provides an open space to discuss literacy, social reform, gentrification, police brutality, and several other social disparities. While Ford is passionate about educating the community he has also devoted time to work with police officers to help provide clarity on cultural competency. His work also includes working with PA legislators to draft policies that modify the use of force laws, which will intern increase chances to receive justice during officer involved shootings. Ford continues to display true leadership through his work while also being a source of healing, hope, and inspiration. Leon’s Fords work has not gone unnoticed in the community, he has received several awards including but not limited to; President Obama’s Volunteer Service Award “2017, The Root 100 “2018” Pittsburgh’s 40 Under 40 “2019” Despite hardships, he continues to be a voice for the voiceless and a leader to those in need of direction.

An unwarranted abduction of a bike marshal during a peaceful protest in Pittsburgh on August 15, 2020 sparked days of actions outside the home of Pittsburgh Mayor, Bill Peduto. This is because of Peduto's alarming response immediately following the abduction where he supports the incident and condemns the protestors - despite them having done nothing wrong. He immediately backpedals the next day, however, his statements become inconsistent and lacking any accountability. As protests continue, the police continue to escalate. Most recently, they set their sites on Lorenzo Rulli, well known activist and forced an arrest that was stated to be unwarranted by the DA. Don Carpenter covers this entire terrifying ordeal turn by turn on his social media linked below. Sit tight. https://www.facebook.com/nunyaman
