This month, the South Hills Area Council of Governments will be testing local police officers for eligibility to participate in the group's planned elite critical incidence response team.
The team would respond to emergencies, such as armed robberies, hostage situations and other serious situations in this post-9/11 world, said Russell McKibben, Dormont's police chief.
The new team would help, but not replace, current county emergency response efforts. Each member community in SHACOG will contribute $1,500 to pay for the program.

Mt. Lebanon already has an SRT (Special Response Team), fully equiped and trained including the specialized SRT truck vehicle.If you live in LeboLand, consider yourself about as safe as it gets as we will now have 3 levels/layers of protection---
Is Lebo even a member of South Hills Area Council of Government? I didn't think they were.

Mt. Lebanon is definitely a member of SHACOG. mtl magazine had a great article about the group and our municipality's involvement in it. You can read it at:

Just for the record, the 2nd. "Bill" in this string is not the same as the 1st. "Bill".
Perhaps Joe Polk can confirm this?
All I can confirm is that the first Bill left his comment with just his name. The second Bill actually signed into his Blogger account and then posted. You can see that the second Bill's name is clickable in his posting whereas the first Bill's is not.
Does that help? :)
