Pittsburgh Bureau of Police

Last weekend, Zone 4 Police received a noise complaint for kids playing loudly in the street. Officer Flynn responded to the call and instead of issuing a citation, he got to know the group and had a conversation about what activities they like to do for fun. The kids said they like to play basketball, but unfortunately did not own a basketball themselves. Officer Flynn left and returned to surprise the kids with a brand new basketball he purchased for them so they could play at the nearest basketball court instead of in the street. I'm extremely proud of Officer Flynn and what he did to help kids in the community, said Chief Scott Schubert. He addressed a citizen complaint and left the kids with a wonderful memory that they'll undoubtedly remember for the rest of their lives. That's relational policing!
