Pittsburgh police will no longer personally respond to calls that aren’t considered “in-progress emergencies” after recent department policy changes. Calls not considered “in-progress emergencies” will be assigned by dispatch to a telephone recording unit. The city’s website states‚ “Creation of an enhanced Telephone Reporting Unit (TRU) operating from 7-3 a.m. daily‚ including weekends. Dispatch will assign reports to the TRU for calls that do not require an in-person response by officers. TRU will NOT be assigned to any “In Progress” call where a suspect may be on scene‚ any crime where a person may need medical aid‚ any domestic dispute‚ calls with evidence‚ or where the Mobile Crime Unit will be requested to process a scene.” In addition‚ between 3 and 7 a.m.‚ when reportedly far fewer 911 calls are made‚ no desk officers will be present at the six police stations in the city. Instead‚ call boxes linked to 911 have been installed. During some overnight shifts‚ there may be only 22 officers to cover the entire city. “It’s enough to cover the entire city in those hours when we have 8% of the time people are calling … I’m confident in the decisions that we make‚ that it impacts this bureau and this city in much better way than we have in the past‚” Pittsburgh Police Chief Larry Scirotto stated. Pittsburgh police will no longer respond to certain calls including theft‚ harassment‚ criminal mischief‚ and burglary alarms. Between 3AM-7AM there will be no officers at any police stations.

Scirotto said that prior to the changes‚ roughly one-third of officers worked overnight‚ but about two-thirds of the call volume came between 2 p.m. and 2 a.m. “So we’re running one shift ragged‚ under-resourcing it‚ and over-resourcing another‚” he said. “That was why I thought this exercise was so important.” “Average night‚ we’d have seven officers out on the road in each zone‚ so [we had] like 42 officers‚ generally‚” Scirotto told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week. “We cut 12. People think I cut 112.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Bob Swartzwelder‚ president of the Fraternal Order of Police #1‚ criticized the plan‚ saying‚ “They’re running out of manpower very‚ very quickly‚ and they’re getting very taxed.” He acknowledged there could be 25 to 30 officers working during the 3-7 a.m. shift‚ but said they are executing specialized work. “I think the strategy at this point is a hope and a prayer that they can base everyone on data‚” he said. “It may pan out to be correct. It may be disastrous.”

When TikToker Matthew Ables found an unused ticket to Disney World from 1978‚ he was curious to know if it was still valid. After all‚ there was no expiration date on it! So‚ he decided to take a trip to Florida to see if they would accept his 46-year-old artifact. He was totally surprised by the park’s response! Before showing the results of his experiment‚ Matthew offered a little backstory on the Disney World ticket. Apparently‚ it’s been in his family for decades‚ but he only recently figured out that no one had ever used it. A current pass can cost over $160‚ but this vintage ticket was purchased for around $8. @matthewables I tried getting into Disney World using a 46 year old ticket #disneyworld #disney #themepark #funny #fyp ♬ original sound – Matthew Ables When Matthew arrived at Guest Relations‚ he explained his unique situation. At first‚ he thought they would reject his ticket‚ but instead they exchanged it for an updated Disney World pass. He was so surprised that this odd family keepsake actually got him into the park! “I can’t believe this actually worked‚” the TikToker said. Screengrab from TikTok Some commenters argued that he should have sold the Disney World ticket to collectors instead of using it. However‚ Matthew assured them that it wouldn’t have been worth much. “On eBay they go for less than the price of a current one day ticket‚” he wrote back. Disney World has certainly lived up to its reputation as a magical place by transforming Matthew’s vintage ticket into a brand-new pass. We’re so glad his fun experiment worked out!
