Our Mission Statement

The mission of the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services is to enhance the quality of life of every person in the county by providing comprehensive Training, Communication and Emergency Response & Management services for municipalities and emergency service agencies in order to minimize loss of life, property and damage to the environment

Our department's Emergency Communications Center provides a state-of-the-art countywide radio and Computer-Aided Dispatch (CAD) network.  The Communications Center, also known as 60-Control, receives and processes 911 emergency calls and non-emergency calls by dispatching fire and emergency medical service units in a prompt, efficient, courteous and professional manner to help save lives, protect property and assist the public -- thus making Westchester County a safer community to live, work and visit.
