Philadelphia's court appointed landlord tenant office will pause carrying out evictions to retrain its staff in use of force and de-escalation practices after recent shootings during evictions.
"With three shootings over a four-month period they have proven they do not have the capacity right now to conduct evictions safely," Councilwoman Jamie Gauthier said.
These incidents prompted the President Judge of Philadelphia's Municipal Court to pause all "lockouts" or evictions until landlord tenant staff receive up-to-date training on use of force and de-escalation procedures.
