Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Police and Pittsburgh

pittsburgh post-gazette: The council notified the Pennsylvania State Police on Nov. 13, 2018 that they were going to need coverage from that agency as of Nov. 30, 2018, while they worked to come up with a long-term solution, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported, according to Rabble. When the East Pittsburgh Police Department was disbanded, city officials promised they were in the middle of talks to launch a multi-community police force that would cover their territory, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported. The East Pittsburgh Borough Council voted to dissolve the borough's police department in the wake of the officer-involved shooting death of Antwon Rose. However, residents began complaining about the lack of police presence the day after the East Pittsburgh police shut down when there was no obvious state police presence on their streets.
