B-THREE SOLUTIONS

By PublicSource | April 11, 2018

A PublicSource investigation into the Pittsburgh Police Bureau’s relationship with an IT vendor has uncovered numerous problems with police technology and the city’s contracting process. The city has paid for police software projects that have never been implemented, and there are allegations that some projects don’t work as intended. The projects created by B-Three Solutions were commissioned to help police officers do their jobs safely and efficiently.

The problems with those systems have led to investigations by the FBI and multiple city agencies. See the latest below.
