Pittsburg residences will vote whether to continue a public safety sales tax in the next election. The tax went into effect in March 2014. Pittsburg police Chief Brent Narges told KOAM that the public safety sales tax allows the department to better enhance their services to the community with technology, equipment, and more. “As far as staffing goes we’ve had a number of patrol officer positions budgeted along with stand alone drug enforcement unit, additional dispatchers, a crime annalist position, along with a drug prosecutor,” said Pittsburg Police Chief Narges.
