Police departments reported a year-over-year increase in sworn officers in 2023 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began and since the 2020 police killing of George Floyd spurred nationwide protests and increased scrutiny of police, according to a survey released by the Police Executive Research Forum.

Pittsburgh police said Sunday that a woman was taken into custody following a stabbing in the city’s Glen Hazel neighborhood.

Investigators said they responded to a residence on the 620 block of Johnstown Avenue at about 8:20 a.m. and found an adult female with one stab wound to the stomach.

Police received information that the alleged suspect pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim, who was later transported to a local hospital and was listed in stable condition.

An investigation is underway and criminal charges are expected to be filed against the unnamed suspect.
