View all City Cast Pittsburgh episodes

City officials say they’re closing in on Pittsburgh’s next police chief and could decide any day. Two finalists are local boys with known reputations, and one — Ryan Lee, who WPXI reports has already been offered the job — would come from well outside the ‘Burgh. City Cast Boise Lead Producer Frankie Barnhill knows Lee, and she says Pittsburgh should probably watch out.
