Sugiura | Edgar Snyder & Associates PITTSBURGH – Mount Pleasant’s former police chief says the Borough’s motion for summary judgment seeking to throw out his wrongful termination case, is ill-supported and its substance has no connection to the events that the complaint addresses. Douglas Sam of Mount Pleasant first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Oct. 16 versus The Borough of Mount Pleasant. Sam became Mount Pleasant Police Chief on March 2, 2015, after being commended for his strong military background, leadership skills, experience and numerous certifications. “Under Sam’s guidance as police chief, the following were accomplished: Revamping and modernization of the police department’s paperwork and recordkeeping processes to bring the police department in compliance with federal, state, and local regulations; Ensuring that staffing of police officers was maintained at adequate levels; Organizing and conducting training for the Mount Pleasant Police Department officers, which included firearms training, active shooter training, defensive tactics, taser training and establishment of an emergency alert system,” the suit stated, in part.
