White Plains Department of Public Safety

In 2011, Drago Designs began work on a debut web site for the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety. The mammoth project which was built in Joomla 1.5, included integration with several web applications that the department utilizes to fulfill report requests and send community notification alerts.

Aside from these functions, the web site also acts as a news portal for crime information. Users can browse through a variety of features including current crime statistics and trends, wanted persons, crime prevention tips and fire safety information.

On August 16th, 2011, Mayor Thomas M. Roach along with Public Safety Commissioner David Chong announced the launch of the new site.

Mayor Roach had this to say, "Utilizing technology to provide better information and enhanced services to the public is one of my top priorities. The new Public Safety website is not only easy for the user to navigate, but is expected to generate operating efficiencies for the Department, chiefly through the provision of online reports, as well. I encourage everyone to go on line and try it out".

Public Safety Commissioner David Chong said, "I hope that our public find this website user friendly and takes advantage of the resources and information contained in it. Together the Department of Public Safety working with an educated public can make a difference in everyone's quality of life." The website will be updated regularly and will also be used as an alert system to inform White Plains residents, businesses and visitors of upcoming events, road closures, missing persons, Amber alerts and other emergencies.
