Westchester County Department of Public Safety

The Westchester County Department of Public Safety is committed to protecting the safety and security of all who live and work in our county or come here to visit.

The department is vigilant in patrolling county parkways and protecting county properties, including Westchester’s vast parks system and key facilities such as the Westchester County Airport, the Westchester County Center and the county office building. In addition, it conducts municipal patrol operations in Mount Kisco and Cortlandt and has School Resource officers assigned to schools in Cortlandt, Somers, North Salem and Lewisboro.

We serve as an ever-present resource for local law-enforcement in Westchester. Through our Forensic Investigation Unit, for example, county police experts in ballistics, latent prints, crime scene processing and digital evidence examinations (computers, cellular telephones, electronic storage devices) assist local and Federal Law Enforcement agencies with hundreds of cases each year.  The Digital Evidence Section, of the Forensics Unit is accredited by the NYS Commission on Forensic Science and the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors.

The resources of the Special Operations Division -- such as the Aviation Unit, Hazardous Devices Unit, Marine Unit, Emergency Service Unit, Crisis Negotiations Unit, and Special Response Team -- are always available upon request to local police agencies.

In an effort to increase transparency and accountability, Public Safety’s Department Manual is available online.

Westchester's Warrant Watch
Warrant Watch is a joint effort of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the Westchester County Department of Probation to locate and apprehend Westchester's most wanted fugitives. The Warrant Watch list provides information on these fugitives. If you have information on any of the individuals listed, call 911 or contact the Westchester County Department of Public Safety tip line at (800) 898-TIPS. Do not attempt to apprehend these persons on your own.

In addition, the Department of Public Safety, also known as the Westchester County Police Department, remains at the forefront in protecting our citizens and critical infrastructure from acts of domestic and international terrorism.
