There are many ways you can help keep our communities safe. The county departments of Emergency Services and Public Safety have a range of programs to further train professionals. In other instances, volunteers are needed and will be trained.
The Citizen Police Academy is a 10-week program designed to give members of the public a working knowledge of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the criminal justice system it serves.
The Volunteer Center, in coordination with Westchester County’s Department of Emergency Services, is recruiting and training volunteers in emergency preparedness and response. These volunteers may be called into action should a large-scale disaster occur.
