Pittsburgh police say they will no longer respond to calls that are not ‘in-progress emergencies’ amid staffing shortages
  • Pittsburgh police announced this week that they will no longer respond to calls that are not ‘in-progress emergencies’ in the early morning hours
  • Instead, lower priority calls will get sent to a telephone reporting unit

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.
