(WPXI) – Larry Scirotto is the city of Pittsburgh’s new police chief. In a unanimous vote, city council approved Mayor Ed Gainey’s nominee Tuesday morning. Scirotto says the bureau’s primary mission now is to get more manpower back in patrol and out on the streets. “We’re working toward preventing the next shooting and being visible, being available, being accessible so we have that community calming effect,” said Scirotto. Scirotto, a Monessen native, is a former assistant chief in the Pittsburgh Police Bureau. He was selected over former Pittsburgh Police Commander Jason Lando, who’s the police chief in Frederick, Maryland, and Ryan Lee, the former chief in Boise, Idaho, who sources said was the mayor’s top choice.
