🚨🚨🚨Fraud Alert🚨🚨🚨

If anybody receives a telephone phone call or voicemail from (412) 906-8083 from a person stating he is Sergeant Kevin Atkins, it is an impersonation and fraudulent. Do not respond or leave any voicemail at this number. The legitimate phone number for the Port Vue Police Department is (412) 672-2255.

Please report any suspicious phone numbers or phone calls to the Port Vue Police Department. The Port Vue Police Department will never, ever request banking or sensitive information over the telephone.

These photographs were taken at the Romine Avenue Park’s comfort station, and the mess was made sometime over the weekend of April 18th to April 19th. If anyone knows the identity of the responsible party(ies), they are encouraged to contact the PVPD to provide information.

The responsible party(ies) are encouraged to come forward to and take responsibility for their actions.

Thanks to (likely) the juveniles who do not possess basic respect, cleanliness and forethought (as well as their parents who have likely failed to teach their children basic respect, accountability and manners) the comfort station at the Romine Avenue Park will be closed until further notice.
