Westchester County Law Enforcement Services

There are 45 local police agencies in Westchester County, New York. Other county, state, and federal agencies responsible for protecting Westchester County frequently work with one another and with agencies located in the surrounding counties and states.

The Westchester County Department of Public Safety (WCPD) was created in 1979 by merging the Westchester County Sheriff's Office with the Westchester County Parkway Police. The current acting commissioner is Terrance Raynor. The previous Commissioner/Sheriff was Thomas Gleason and served Westchester County for over 40 years.

The Westchester County Police Department provides primary police coverage for the county's parks, parkways, and facilities. It also patrols the Town of Mount Kisco and supplements the New York State Police in the Town of Cortlandt. The Department is the fourth largest law enforcement agency in Westchester County after NYSP, the Department of Corrections, and the City of Yonkers Police.

In 2010, County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced a plan to merge the county departments of Public Safety and Emergency Services. However, as of 2023, these departments remain separate, and the plan appears to have been abandoned.

Local FD Chief Car Identifiers:

  • Units will Be identified as: Department - Authority Level
    • The first three numbers are the department, and the last number denotes a decreasing level of command authority. Example: Car 2021 is the Ardsley Fire Chief, Car 2022 is the Ardsley 1st Assistant Fire Chief & Car 2023 is the Ardsley 2nd Assistant Fire Chief.
    • After the chiefs (decreasing level of command authority), each agency differs in how they proceed with numbering.

Battalion Coordinators:

  • There is a Fire Mutual Aid Coordinator for Each Fire Battalion. However, each coordinator primarily responds to departments within their own battalion; they may be called to another area for assistance. For example, if there is a major Mutual aid Call in Battalion 10 and the Fire Mutual Aid Coordinator for that Battalion is unavailable, 60 Control will call the next available Fire Mutual Aid Coordinator.
  • There are only 3 EMS Mutual Aid Coordinators. EMS 10 handles Battalions 14, 15, 18 & 19. EMS 11 handles Battalions 11, 13 & 16. EMS 12 handles Battalions 10, 12 & 17.

Westchester County (NY) Fire/EMS Apparatus List

Below is a link to a wiki page where you can find a complete listing of Fire & EMS apparatus in Westchester County

Westchester County Fire & EMS Dispatch

As per the database, most Fire & EMS departments in the county are dispatched by 60 Control on the new UHF Paging Frequencies or 46.26 MHz. A few agencies self-dispatch on 46.26 MHz (Fairview, Hartsdale, Ossining); however, some departments that are dispatched by 60 Control have elected to move to an alternate frequency for dispatch and operations (Somers FD, Mohegan FD, New Rochelle FD, Eastchester FD).

After the initial dispatch, most operations are moved to the corresponding talkgroup on the P25 trunked system (in particular for departments dispatched by 60 Control). However, departments dispatched by 60-Control with their own frequencies (Mohegan, Somers, New Rochelle, Eastchester) may remain on their frequencies for operations and use the P25 trunked system for mutual aid and other interop purposes.

Some departments are not dispatched by 60 control and remain on their own frequencies for dispatch and operations. See the Alternate Dispatch Agencies section below for more info.

As of 2022, 60 Control is slowly moving away from low-band and alternate dispatch frequencies and is migrating to countywide UHF Paging.
The FD/EMS UHF paging assignments are as follows:
North 1 - Battalions 13/16 (Northeast)
North 2 - Battalions 11/12 (North Central)
North 3 - Battalions 10/17 (Northwest)
South 1 - Battalions 14/18 (Southwest)
South 2 - Battalions 15/19 (Southeast)
NOTE:
As of Sept. 1st, 2023, 60 Control is no longer monitoring 46.26. This change reduces the background noise in the dispatch room at 60 Control.
As of Nov. 1st, 2023, 60 Control is eliminating Paging on 155.205 (Cortlandt Area EMS)
