Pittsburgh's Bureau of Police is addressing staffing shortages by not having officers present in dispatch offices from 3 a.m. to 7 a.m. daily.

Pittsburgh Police Chief Larry Scirotto made the decision as the city's Bureau of Police has been reduced to just 740 officers.

Chief Scirotto clarified that officers will not be dispatched to 911 calls unless they involve ongoing emergencies, regardless of when the calls are received.

This move effectively means that reports of criminal mischief, theft, harassment, and burglary alarms, among others, will be managed by the telephone reporting unit or online reporting system.

This is why you should never let politicians scare you into giving up your Second Amendment rights piece by piece.
