The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police has implemented a new response policy. Beginning March 11, officers will only respond to calls of in-progress emergencies, WPXI reported.
The policy is part of Chief Larry Scirotto’s efforts to reduce the bureau’s call volume from about 200,000 calls to about 50,000 calls this year, according to the report. Calls for criminal mischief, theft, harassment and many others will be handled by the telephone reporting unit or by online reporting.
“That allows our officers to be engaged in community in a way, now they’re at the YMCA instead of sitting on the 10th Street bypass with a bike complaint,” Scirotto stated.
The bureau will offload most parking issues to the Pittsburgh Parking Authority, according to the report. It will remove desk officers from precincts between the hours of 3 a.m.-7 a.m., and reduce the number of officers on overnight shifts.
“The staffing plan designed by police command is a direct response to a seriously understaffed police department,” said Bob Swartzwelder, FOP union President. “Only time will tell if the plan works or the Chief will need to pivot and modify his plan quickly. The FOP will be watching carefully for any contract violations that develop especially when non-emergency events come up such as St. Patrick’s Day, parades, large concerts, July 4th etc. In short, the FOP believes that the police department is seriously over-committed and under-resourced.”
Wow. So if a woman gets raped...is the guy still raping you...no. OK, we'll have telephone reporting handle it.
Oh, so there's a drive-by shooting? Ok, is it still ongoing...no...ok you can report that online.
And this is exactly why you need to have a means to protect yourself...because ain't nobody coming to help you.
There’s probably less paperwork involved in waiting to respond until after the person calling has been murdered, than before.
Chicago Police in bad shape. Our friend Tucker made this clip.

But I’ll still be able to SWAT my MAGA / conservative neighbors, right?
This is frightening and shocking, even if one carries.
Nobody, but nobody is going to help you. How many mounds of paperwork will all these reports be buried in?
The city had died. Get out and get out NOW. There no longer is a choice.
When will they adopt Biden’s Haiti plan?
It is worse than “nobody is going to help you.” The intent is to make you defend yourself from criminals and then persecute you for doing so.
> officers will only respond to calls of in-progress emergencies <
Moral of the story: If you’re going to burglarize a house in Pittsburgh, or shoplift, or whatever… be quick about it. Don’t hang around.
Anyway, I suspect this will cause a drop in crime statistics. Mainly because folks will eventually realize it’s not worth the time to call in a report.
Someone should get a Tax Refund
Citizens have to be ready on their own.

Courts ruled years ago that law enforcement officers are not responsible to the protection of people.
Is it an “in-progress emergency” when the Pittsburgh city government is such an incompetent kakistocracy that its police will only respond to calls of in-progress emergencies?!?

"Hey, can you send some cops to retrieve the body of a dead burglar from my house?"

You mean the plan to import 100,000 Haitians?
It’s the nation, not just the city.
You mean the plan to import 100,000 Haitians?
A federal judge in Texas on Friday upheld a key piece of President Joe Biden’s immigration policy that allows a limited number of migrants from four countries to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds, dismissing a challenge from Republican-led states that said the program created an economic burden on them.
U.S. District Judge Drew B. Tipton ruled in favor of the humanitarian parole program that allows a total of 30,000 asylum-seekers into the U.S. each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela combined.

You nailed it in a few lines.
Bet if a gun owner protects himself / herself the cops will show up quickly.
Pittsburgh has no excuse. They knew who they were hiring.
