Research Evaluation 167 Division I REVIEW OF THE MAIN POINTS IN THE APPLICATION .In 1955 the Mayor's Commission on Human Relations initiated a three-hour course in human relations, training for recruit police.officers. The commence- ment of the human relations course was a direct outgrowth of alleged killing-. of a police officer by'Aloysius Spaulding in the Hill District section of the City of Pittsburgh. Tension in the community following this incident was extremely high and the Commission on Human Relations immediately implemented the course in an effort to bridge the gap between the police and community. .:Prior to the initiation of the recruit course in human relations, there was but One in-service training Program for police officers during the term of the late Mayor David.I.• Lawrence. ,Police recruit training in human relations.in the City of Pittsburgh has gradually developed into a 10-hour integral part of the curriculum of new recruit officers. • In 1,966 the Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations in cooperation with the Department of Public Safety submitted a proposal:to-the Office of Economic . Opportunity for .a grant of $102,177.64. The purpose of the proposal for grant allocations was to conduct a 9-week-training program in eommunity relations . for Pittsburgh Bureau of Police personnel as.a.part of the Community 'Action program for the City of Pittsburgh. Grants were authorized under Title •'Section 206 of the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964. Detroit, Michigan and 'Newark, New Jersey were among the to first• cities receivea grant from,0E0 to train police personnel in human relations. 2. "The proposed training program under the 0E0:proposal Would have given each officer 24 hours of lecture and small group discussions devoted to (1) providing Pittsburgh .Police with the knowledge and skills to effectively deal with public safety sitUations involving the poor and racial minorities, and (2) to generally improving relations:between police and residents of Community Action ,Program, neighborhood's." Theriginal 0E0 proposal for human relations training for police officers. stated that a high proportion of Pittsburgh police activity is concentrated in the priority areas of the city's program. As the city's original Community action proposal in 1964 pointed out, "areas with the greatest delinquency problems in the city are those with high scores front other poverty indicators," 0 with highest delinquency rates concentrated in the North Side and the Hill District, followed 14 Garfield East Liberty, Homewood, the South Side and the Hazeliood-Greenfield areas.. The proposal went on to state that the need for improvement,in the rela- tion* between the police and the community is important, not only for its own sake, but also for the continuation of the COmmunity'Action:Program. Pittsburgh's original request for funds under Section 206 of Title II-A, Economic' Opportunity Act.of'1964, was favorably received by the 0E0 Training and Technical Assistance program', but subsequently rejected due,to a Congressional:cut -back in funds. Following the Congressional cut-back in funds allocated by 0E0 _for training and technical assistance the City of Pittsburgh,' in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety and the Commission:on Human Relations, applied for 4IM federal funds underthe Law Enforcement Assistance Act of 1965 (LELA). The original application was altered and_brought into conformity with the guidelines set forth by the Law Enforcement Assistance Act-of,1965. The refined application was submitted to the Office of., Law Enforcement Assistance, U. S. Department of Justice in December, 19660 In February, 1967 the:City of Pittsburgh was granted $48,598 (grantee contribution $57,816) by the Office ofLaw Enforcement Assistance United States Department of Justice, to embark upon an in-service training program in human relations for 500 police officers in the pilot phase of the project. This is approximately 1/3 of the totall'ittsburgh Bureau of Police personnel. The project would run for 9 months and would be composed of the following stages: pre-project planning; training; and evaluation. In the initial training program,. 500 police officers would be selected from the patrol traffic and detective division to participate in the.project. No standards

    THE PITTSBURGH BUREAU OF POLICE: SOME HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS Christine Altenburger ave the people of Pittsburgh deserved a better police force than * they have had over the years, or have they had a better police A force than they deserve ? This is a question that readers may wish toponder as they examine some points of historical interest inthe development of the police force of the city of Pittsburgh. The history of a police function in the Pittsburgh area dates back to the days of Pitt Township. 1 Pitt Township had a constable who was called upon to make a report of his district at each term of court at Hannastown. He was the one official in the area with the power to arrest. When Pittsburgh was incorporated as a borough in 1794, the position of constable was carried forward withthe establishment of the office of High Constable. No assistant constables were provided for at the incorporation which must be taken as an indication of a lack of police business at this time. The constable's duties were largely con- fined to civil matters. It is difficult to imagine today that Pittsburgh, at this time (1794), was but a small plot of territory. The limits of the borough were Grant Street on the east and Eleventh Street on the north. Ithad a population of about a thousand. The first suggestion of anything like a police force is contained in a series of recommendations by the borough's retiring burgesses to their successors. 2 The time is 1802. The incoming burgesses were Miss Altenburger is Research Associate of the Institute of Local Govern- ment and Research Instructor of Urban Affairs, Graduate School of Public and International Affairs, University of Pittsburgh.

    2016 Annual Report”

    “2016 ANNUAL REPORT” A Message from Chief Scott E. Schubert As Chief of Police, I am honored to serve the neighborhoods that reflect the diversity and varied cultures throughout the City of Pittsburgh. In my leadership role, I proudly oversee some of the finest and most professionally trained police officers in the region. My officers embrace their role as public servants and each day are dedicated to protecting and serving the citizens of our great city. In addition to our mission statement and core values, my directive to the Bureau is: “Protection, Respect, Integrity, Dedication, and Excellence; together, the first letter of each of these attributes forms the word PRIDE. We, collectively, as the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, operate on these five principles, devotedly.” During 2016, we have made tremendous strides in addressing the needs and concerns of the communities we serve; you spoke and we listened. We assigned additional officers to work in identified neighborhoods to assist with community problem solving, our community outreach efforts exceeded expectations, our training was enhanced, overall accountability became a priority, and we established new community partnerships. Additionally, in 2017, the Bureau will bring on board an Outreach Team (Family Life) and a Group Violence Intervention Coordinator to help us focus on the reduction of violent crime in the City of Pittsburgh, using a focused deterrence model which concentrates primarily on individuals responsible for violent behavior. With the help of our community and law enforcement partners, coupled with the outstanding police work demonstrated daily by our police force, there is no significant increase in violent crimes and we continue to observe a decrease in the historic crime rate.

    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.
