GENERAL REFERENCES
Police Department — See Ch. 77.
Borough Council of Pleasant Hills hereby authorizes any
uniformed police officer of the Pleasant Hills Police Department to order
the evacuation of all persons from any building or structure located within
the Borough of Pleasant Hills when the Pleasant Hills Police Department is
made aware of any bomb threat, fire threat or other similar type threat against
said building or structure.
The police officers of the Pleasant Hills Police Department may order
such evacuation when they reasonably believe that such bomb threat, fire threat
or other similar type threat exists. The police officer, while acting under
authority of this chapter, shall not thereby be rendered liable personally
for ordering such evacuation even if the said bomb threat, fire threat or
other similar type threat proves to be false.
Any person who shall disregard or refuse to obey an evacuation order
given by a uniformed police office of the Borough of Pleasant Hills shall,
upon conviction before the District Justice for the Borough of Pleasant Hills,
be sentenced to pay a fine not exceeding $500.
