Duquesne Council OK’s Police Hires, Pending Tests

Duquesne City Council has approved hiring three new police officers, pending completion of all necessary exams.

At Tuesday’s meeting, council made the job offers contingent on the candidates passing all requisite background checks, medical and psychological evaluations.

This would bring Duquesne’s police force to 14 officers including acting Chief Tom Shaw, city officials said.

In other business, free COVID-19 testing will be made available to citizens of Duquesne. The program will be announced on the city’s Facebook page and on the sign in front of city hall.

City officials are asking the public for suggestions on what to name the section of the Mon-Fayette Expressway that is scheduled to be built through Duquesne. Any citizens of Duquesne who want to submit a name may call (412) 389-4857.

The Duquesne Volunteer Fire Department will be soliciting funds from the public in the near future, city officials said. Any money raised will go towards the purchase of a previously owned ladder truck that is expected to be in service in early spring of this year.
