Old Westbury Police Department

Serving the village since 1924, the Old Westbury Police Department in New York is led by a chief and a lieutenant, with sergeants, detectives and police officers supported by civilian dispatchers and a police secretary. Its patrol and detective bureaus cover a village that includes three college campuses and two public high schools, so the number of people present on a typical day is far higher than the resident count. Dispatch is handled in house, with the department's communications center receiving and dispatching calls for service, 911 calls among them, and it handled more than 7,400 calls in 2024. Its mission emphasizes preserving citizens' rights, reducing fear through crime prevention, protecting people and property and keeping order, and members are expected to act for the public good with fairness, integrity and sound judgment. Drivers can request a secure copy of an accident report through an online portal, and the state MV-104 accident report form is available. Police headquarters has a collection box for household prescription and over-the-counter medicines. Homeowners can join the Old Westbury Safe camera program with Flock Safety or register vehicles through the Virtual Gated Community Project.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS 2023), Old Westbury village, NY has an estimated population of 4,320.
