    • There are forty-five local police agencies in Westchester County, New York. As well as other agencies. They are responsible for protecting Westchester County, these agencies frequently work with one another in the surrounding counties. Current economic times has caused a few Westchester municipalities to consider consolidation of police services. The Westchester County Department of Public Safety started providing primary police services for the Town/Village of Mount Kisco in 2015.


    Westchester County Department of Public Safety


    Westchester County Department of Public Safety was created in 1979 by merging the Westchester County Sheriff's Office with the Westchester County Parkway Police. The current Commissioner/Sheriff is Terrance Raynor. The Westchester County Police provide primary law enforcement for county parks, parkways and facilities. They also patrol the Town of Mount Kisco and supplement patrol along with the New York State Police for the Town of Cortlandt. The Department is the fourth largest law enforcement agency in Westchester County.
    In 2010, County Executive Robert P. Astorino announced a plan to merge the county departments of Public Safety and Emergency Services. As of 2021 these departments remain separate, and the plan appears to have been abandoned.
