The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police14Pittsburgh, located in the center of Allegheny County where the Monongahela and Allegheny Riversmeet to form the Ohio River, was incorporated as a borough by an act dated April 22, 1794, the sameyear as the Whiskey Rebellion. The act provided for the election of two Burgesses, a High Constableand a Town Clerk. We, in the Bureau of Police, trace our roots to Samuel Morrison, the first HighConstable for the Borough of Pittsburgh.On March 18, 1816, Pittsburgh was formally incorporated as a city. Under this charter, the Mayor ofPittsburgh was elected by the council and was given the authority to appoint the High Constable andfour City Constables. These constables were enjoined to preserve the peace, arrest all disorderlypersons, and attend court, the market, and Councils. This was a daytime duty in which the Constableswere paid by event rather than by salary. The Mayor was also given the power to appoint a night watchconsisting of a Superintendent and twelve watchmen. The duties of the watchmen included the care ofthe oil, wick and utensils belonging to the city and the prevention of murders, robberies and otherdisorders.Loss of tax revenues due to a depression in the City’s manufacturing and commerce enterprises causedthe discontinuation of the night watch in April 1817. It was reestablished on March 26, 1836, by an actthat authorized one Captain of the Watch, two Lieutenants of the Watch and 16 watchmen for thepurpose of establishing a system of police to secure the City’s citizens and their property. During thisperiod, the constables continued to perform daylight duties on a non-salary basis. In December 1857, anordinance was adopted that established a day-salaried police department consisting of one chief and notmore than nine constables. On January 27, 1868, the dual system of day and night police was abolishedand the present system was created. In that year, the force was authorized not more than 100 men toinclude the Chief of Police, one Captain, and not more than eight Lieutenants.September 11, 2001 changed forever law enforcement in the United States. No longer could we affordto stay inwardly focused on the nationally defined Part I Crimes of Homicide, Aggravated Assault,Rape, Robbery, Burglary, Larceny Theft and Motor Vehicle Theft. We now had to become morecognizant of the external threats to the homeland security of the City.2009 was the most tragic year in the Bureau’s history when we lost Officers Eric Kelly, Stephen Mayhleand Paul Sciullo II in the line of duty on April 4, 2009.In 2011, the Bureau continued to improve its infrastructure and its electronic capabilities. Additionally,we began the process of upgrading the firing range used by our officers. This work is expected todramatically improve safety on the range. Work is expected to be finished in late spring, 2012.
15History of Our BadgeIn 1873, the Police Badgewas designed and officially adoptedby the City of Pittsburgh.The badge is a unique design:The crest is from the Coat-of-Arms ofWilliam Pitt, the 1st Earl of Chatham,The English gentleman for whom Pittsburgh is named.The garter around the badgeis from the Most Noble Order of the Garter,the senior British Order of Chivalry founded by King Edward III in 1348.The shield is a circular fighting shieldused by 15th century Greek foot soldiers.During the 16th and 17th centuries,the circular shield was used extensively in the British Isles,hence its appearance in Pittsburgh.The Pittsburgh Police Badge,with its distinctive design and history,is worn with great pride by the men and womenof the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police.
