PITTSBURGH — 11 Investigates has learned new details about the plans on community forums for acting Pittsburgh police chief Chris Ragland.
Mayor Ed Gainey nominated Ragland to become the permanent police chief on Feb. 7, but the Pittsburgh NAACP soon after requested public meetings to question Ragland.
On Tuesday, the NAAP met with several community groups and city council members to come up with a plan. They’ve decided to hold six public forums across the city, beginning in March and going until the end of April.
Pittsburgh City Council will then hold a public hearing a vote on Ragland’s confirmation.
This plan pushes Ragland’s confirmation closer to the May 20 Mayoral primary election.
