A
A
Good
morning
today
we
take
a
new
step,
a
new
direction
in
Pittsburgh
Public
Safety
I
would
like
to
start
by
thanking
Steven
bukar,
who
came
in
with
a
mandate
for
change
for
reform,
and
he
was
the
leader
we
needed
at
that
time.
Steven
was
somebody
who
was
able
to
allow
us
to
get
a
common
ground,
a
baseline
of
professionalism
within
all
of
our
bureaus
of
Public
Safety.
He
had
a
dream
one
day
of
rejoining
the
Pennsylvania
State
Police
is
his
calling
into
law.
A
Enforcement
was
from
a
neighbor
down
the
street,
who
is
a
Pennsylvania
state
trooper
who
guided
him
into
law
enforcement,
and
he
made
it
clear
to
both
chief
Aklan
and
me
that
his
goal
was
to
be
able
to
return,
I'm
proud
to
say
he
has
been
able
to
do
it
in
the
work
that
he
has
done
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh
will
now
be
done
for
all
of
pennsylvania.
It's
my
honor
to
welcome
Wendell
historic
to
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
welcome
him.
A
Home
Wendell
is
a
finalist
for
this
position
through
talent,
city
and
his
role
will
be
different
than
that
of
director.
Buchardt
Pittsburgh
now
has
the
opportunity
to
coordinate
emergency
services,
the
ability
to
have
somebody
who
has
a
background
in
firefighting
and
still
as
a
volunteer
with
forest
hills,
fire
department,
somebody
who
was
a
chief
within
the
bureau
of
medical
services,
emergency
medical
services
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
somebody
who
rose
through
the
ranks
of
law
enforcement
through
the
FBI
and
worked
jointly
with
agencies,
both
federal
and
state.
A
He
still
has
his
contacts
here
in
Pittsburgh
in
the
role
of
coordinating
these
types
of
services
to
be
able
to
be
proactive
in
emergency
response
will
go
beyond
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
will
include
state
and
federal
agencies
in
the
coordination
of
all
services
to
protect
not
only
those
people
that
call
Pittsburgh
home,
but
those
that
visit
here.
It's
my
honor
to
recognize
our
new
Public
Safety
Director
Wendell,
his
room.
B
B
Those
that
remember
me
from
25
years
ago,
I
did
not
wear
glasses,
I
hope
to
work
with
the
professional
men
and
women
of
the
Public
Safety
Department
and
within
the
city
government
to
make
Pittsburgh
and
overall
safer
community
vote
for
its
residents
and
visitors.
As
mr.
mr.
Peduto
said,
my
goal
is
to
strengthen
the
relationship
between
the
city,
county
state
and
federal
partners.
I've
already
attended
several
meetings
with
the
local
law
enforcement
and
federal
law
enforcement
partners
and
hope
to
within
the
next
two
weeks
meet
with
additional
county
and
state
representatives
to
strengthen
that
relationship.
B
The
funk
the
Foundation's
have
already
been
laid
with
mr.
bukar
mr.
Haas
and
the
the
fire
chiefs
and
the
supervisors
within
the
Public
Safety,
Department
and
I
hope
to
build
on
those
foundations
within
the
next
couple
weeks.
I
will
meet
with
the
unions
of
both
the
police,
fire,
ems
and
Animal
Care
and
Control
to
discuss
their
concerns,
and
hopefully,
with
any
of
the
problems
out
there
to
begin
to
address
those
problems.
B
Community
outreach
is
a
goal
of
mr.
Peduto
and
his
administration
I
hope
to
continue
that
not
only
on
law
enforcement
for
eat,
but
also
in
addition
for
EMS
fire
and
Animal
Care
and
Control
EMS.
For
instance,
there
needs
to
be
some
type
of
community
relations.
A
community
outreach
about
the
nature
of
the
ems
calls
Nate
that
people
the
residents
are
calling
ambulances
for
throughout
the
city,
and
hopefully
we
can
at
least
address
some
of
the
problems
with
the
call
volume
that
has
been
growing
over
the
last
several
years
for
EMS
with
that.
Thank
you
again.
