Share this post:
Pittsburgh police vehicles will again sport rainbow decals throughout June to show support for Pride Month, a month intended to celebrate the LGBT+ community.
The decal is one in a series of decals put on vehicles over the course of the year that “symbolize our focus on inclusiveness, community police work and building bridges with everyone in (Pittsburgh),” said Chief Scott Schubert.
“We know that Pittsburgh is stronger together, and that means inclusion of every community and community member,” he said.
Pittsburgh Pride weekend will take place June 7-9 and include events in Downtown and on the North Side.
