Pittsburgh police will no longer personally respond to calls that aren’t considered “in-progress emergencies” after recent department policy changes.
Calls not considered “in-progress emergencies” will be assigned by dispatch to a telephone recording unit. The city’s website states, “Creation of an enhanced Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU) operating from 7-3 a.m. daily, including weekends. Dispatch will assign reports to the TRU for calls that do not require an in-person response by officers. TRU will NOT be assigned to any “In Progress” call where a suspect may be on scene, any crime where a person may need medical aid, any domestic dispute, calls with evidence, or where the Mobile Crime Unit will be requested to process a scene.”
In addition, between 3 and 7 a.m., when reportedly far fewer 911 calls are made, no desk officers will be present at the six police stations in the city. Instead, call boxes linked to 911 have been installed. During some overnight shifts, there may be only 22 officers to cover the entire city.
“It’s enough to cover the entire city in those hours when we have 8% of the time people are calling … I’m confident in the decisions that we make, that it impacts this bureau and this city in much better way than we have in the past,” Pittsburgh Police Chief Larry Scirotto stated.

Bad move.
The 3S rule: Shoot, Shovel, Shut up.
Then people will just have to defend themselves.

I’ll talk to you our sheriff people don’t want to be policemen anymore and among those who do most don’t qualify.
The police are only going to show up to do your chalk outline anyway. Brings up another point - a black could walk around alone and unarmed at any time of the day or night in a “white” neighborhood and would think nothing of it. A “white” couldn’t walk around a black neighborhood at ANY time of the day or night without counting the seconds until they were assaulted, beaten, robbed and butchered/ killed. But we have a “white supremacy “ problem in the country?
between 3-7 am most of the trouble makers are already at the emergency room getting stiched up. the others are getting a wagon ride to the morgue.
I was there last maybe ten years ago, it was not bad at all. You could still see the soot on old bridges though.
Yeah, the traditional steel towns were filthy back in the day. I remember the Gary, IN steel mills and Chicago stockyards from the 40’s and 50’s, I lived right in the cross hairs of both of them. They needed to be fixed and they were. My beef is with today’s “environmentalists” whining pukes who have no clue what bad air was like!
3-7 is actually the preferred time because they know victims are asleep.
There’s actually a gang here in Memphis that never deals with drugs. However they are very well armed. The wait until drug dealers are all passed out from partying then break in and steal their drug money.
There are, in my opinion, two triggers to this situation and they are decades apart.
#1 Police Unions (many cops now make high six figure salaries.
#2 Defunding police decades later.
A good analogy that will help some non freepers to “get” (what I’m saying) is Great Britain. Great Britain is no longer GREAT because, due to socialism, they can’t afford a military.
Pittsburg is no longer a WINNER CITY (read Oleary) because, for many socialist type reasons, they cannot afford six figure cops.
Next up, when Pittsburg gets tired of being a LOSER CITY, will be block by block VOLUNTEER (means no pay) groups of men patrolling the streets...... ARMED.
You are right. If we had today’s air back in 1960 or so, no one would have even thought of needing a “Clean Air Act.”
Pittsburg residents to experience the movie “The Purge” 3-7 am.
Just a reminder to the people of Pittsburg-April 15th is approaching. Get ready to pay for those services you don’t have.
Remake of Fort Apache the Bronx but as a nonfiction documentary. Cintematographers wearing Robocop suits.
911: If you have not presented a crime response authorization form in advance with the file number there may be significant delay in handling your non-pre-authorized incident.
You are....9th....in the queue for speaking to an operator.
