WESTMORELAND COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APPROVE COOPERATION AGREEMENT FOR K-9 OFFICER TO HELP WITH ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS DURING NFL DRAFT IN PITTSBURGH

Westmoreland County Commissioners yesterday approved a cooperation agreement for a K-9 officer with the county’s park police to help with enforcement efforts during the NFL draft next week in Pittsburgh.  The Trib reports that Park Police Chief Jeff Shearer said one of department’s more than three dozen officers and the county’s bomb detection canine will be deployed for four days to assist Pittsburgh police.  Seventeen law enforcement agencies have signed cooperation agreements with the City of Pittsburgh to provide extra security during the event.  Just how much benefit Westmoreland County will receive from the event is still to be determined.
