"Partners in Prevention"
The Westchester Police Department’s mission is to enhance the quality of life in the community by working cooperatively with the public to prevent crime, enforce the law, preserve the peace, and provide a safe environment. The Department wants you to be safe and comfortable in your home and during your daily activities, whether leisure or work. And although the Department works very hard to create the safest environment possible, it is very important to remember that all citizens play a vital part in crime prevention. Crime prevention is truly a Police-Community partnership.
Crime prevention is the anticipation, recognition, and appraisal of a crime risk and the initiation of some action to remove or reduce it. In this continuing crime prevention initiative, the Department has designated the Community Relations Officer CRO to serve as the Department’s community liaison for your crime prevention needs.
