Mayor-elect Corey O'Connor is expected to nominate today former Pittsburgh Police Commander Jason Lando as the city's next chief.
With low staffing in the department and officer burnout from mandated overtime, O'Connor decided to forgo a national search to get a police chief as soon as possible.
Currently, Lando is Police Chief in Frederick, Maryland. Before that, he rose through the ranks in Pittsburgh to lead Zone 5 in Homewood and East Liberty.
