The Director

Next in a series...


“I have selected a Director of Public Safety who is an accomplished and respected leader in the field of fire safety and emergency management on the city and county level,” said Mayor Ravenstahl. “Chief Huss brings an impeccable record of service, accomplishment, leadership (not counting liquored up firemen stealing vehicles at the casino, or liquored up firemen kicking in citizen's doors, or liquored up firemen playing bumper cars with "white residue" on their CD's) and integrity to the challenges  that face our City. I’m confident he will serve the residents of the City of Pittsburgh well. Chief Huss has been and will continue to be instrumental in achieving my goal to make Pittsburgh one of America’s safest cities.”
As Johnstown's Emergency Management Coordinator, he was responsible for all activities of the agency, including mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery and served as the City Managers Chief of Staff during emergencies (and by emergencies we mean floods, obviously.).
He is experienced in collective bargaining negotiating, preparation and administration of operating and capital budgets, strategic planning, testing, training and disciplining of department personnel. (And, for your information, meter maids Parking Enforcement Officers aren't trained to use a snow shovel in Johnstahn either.)
