Gunfire from the police firing range can sound like warfare at a Highland Park playground, a council member said. On April 1, council advanced a plan to rotate the range, cutting decibel levels by up to 50%. She said residents have sought its removal for over 30 years. Still, the city hasn't found another site, though it'll keep looking.

Stories have been circulating about immigration agents detaining people in Pittsburgh. On April 1, council weighed writing into city code that city workers, including police, won't cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. That proposal faces a final vote next week. Meanwhile, two others would bar leasing or lending city property for enforcement staging, and they're on hold a week for legal review.

Residents may soon learn what surveillance technology Pittsburgh uses and what it can do. Now council has advanced a request for a city report on 18 types of tools, including license plate readers and biometric software. It would also cover data protection and how civil rights harms are prevented. The report is due July 1, with a public hearing to follow.
