Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert administered the oath and gave the officers their badges.
Police said the new officers also received special coins made after the Squirrel Hill synagogue shooting in 2018 to remind them of how their fellow officers selflessly served the community that day.
Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich thanked the recruits for choosing to help people who live in Pittsburgh.
The officers will now begin three months of field training.
