According to the stats posted on the City of Pittsburgh's official website, the DPSC alone recorded 24 arrests, and 54 non-traffic citations, and also engaged with four businesses regarding safety and security measures.
The report also outlines the issuance of a significant number of parking citations, totaling 91, which suggests a stringent approach to enforcing parking regulations in the downtown core. Towing numbers also underscore the direct approach taken by Traffic and K9 units, with 10 vehicles towed in just one week. In addition to the clear focus on parking violations, there was a modest amount of traffic stops, with the DPSC carrying out five such interventions resulting in 5 traffic citations.
In sum, the described week paints a picture of a proactive and multifaceted approach to policing downtown areas, with the various units of the DPSC demonstrating their commitment to maintaining order and public safety.
