Obamacare Shootings near Brashear enrollment at 106,000, far less than called teen’s revenge predicted Three students wounded following dismissal from the Beechview high school; 2,200 have signed up 16-year-old charged in ambush-style attack that brought massive police response across Pennsylvania By Amy Goldstein and Sandhya Somashekhar The Washington Post WASHINGTON — Slightly more than 106,000 Americans signed up for health plans in the first month of new state and fed- eral insurance marketplaces, the Obama administration reported Wednesday. The figure, far lower than the administration predicted, points to the steep challenge ahead as the White House tries to over- come public and congressional frustration with the program’s problem-plagued rollout. The tally showed that just a quarter of the enrollments were in the federally run marketplace, while the rest were in the state exchanges. Just 2,200 Pennsylvanians have submitted an application and selected a plan, according to the Department of Health and Human Services report.

  • 2015 Annual Report
    A Message from Chief Cameron McLay There are a great many things going well in Pittsburgh today. We have been selected as one of six pilot sites for President Obama’s National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice. This provides us with training and research support from the best minds in the nation, making us the envy of forward-thinking agencies everywhere. While many cities our size are experiencing dramatic escalations of violence and strong divides between police and the communities they serve, our trends are more moderate. Our violent crime rates have not seen post-Ferguson escalations. In other cities, tensions between police and communities of color run high. In many cities, for example the Black Lives Matter movement seems to be divisive in some places; but not here. At the Pittsburgh Urban League, 2015 “Black Lives Matter” conference, the discussions were a call to action to all community members to stop the violence creating a disparate impact of victimization on young black males. “If black lives matter, what are we (the African-American community) doing to help our Chief be successful keeping us all safe?” was the discussion. There was no anger with police, just passion to make Pittsburgh a “Most Livable City” for all! It was a moving experience, instilling me with an even greater sense of mission. This is a passion members of the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police share. We are proud to protect. We are proud to serve. Our Vision Statement reflects that pride: Through our commitment to professional service all our communities, the Bureau of Police is a source of pride for our City, and a benchmark for policing excellence.
