It’s been a year since Pittsburgh police started an initiative to crack down on crime on the city’s South Side.

The South Side Entertainment Patrol began in July 2023 following a string of shootings on East Carson Street. What initially started as extra patrols quickly became a dedicated team of officers who monitor the busy strip from Thursday through Sunday nights.

Police say the patrol has made an impact on the community. Since its inception, the patrol has reportedly made 215 arrests, recovered 61 guns and issued 1,262 non-traffic citations.

Pittsburgh Police have previously reported that South Side incidents range from gun violence and fighting to drug use, public drunkenness and public urination, and more.
