(Pittsburgh, PA) A source told WTAE last night that newly elected Pittsburgh mayor Corey O’Connor will nominate Jason Lando as the next police chief of the Steel City. The Pittsburgh native spent over twenty-one years as a commander with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. According to a preliminary budget, the police chief is expected to make about $180,000 next year. Lando also attended the Tree of Life Synagogue when he was growing up and directed operations there during the worst anti-semitic shooting in United States history on October 27th, 2018. The official announcement from O’Connor on this nomination is expected to be at 1:30 p.m. today.
