The Pittsburgh Job No One Wants
Description
Five different people have led the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police over the past two and a half years — all under a single mayor — and it's still not clear when we're getting a new, permanent, top cop. What's going on with the police department, and what does this “revolving door” of local chiefs say about the city? We're with University of Pittsburgh law professor David Harris, who’s served on multiple committees to choose Pittsburgh’s police chief, to talk about the leaders from our recent past; recruitment and retention challenges facing us in the present; and how a new process passed by City Council could influence us well into the future.
