WP Public Safety - Press Release

White Plains, New York. August 16, 2011.
Mayor Thomas M. Roach along with Public Safety Commissioner David Chong today announced the launch of a new informative and interactive website for the City of White Plains Department of Public Safety.

This new website enables users to easily access current Public Safety information, request and download police reports and browse through a variety of features including current crime statistics and trends, wanted persons, crime prevention tips and fire safety information.

Mayor Roach said, "Utilizing technology to provide better information and enhanced services to the public is one of my top priorities. Together with the recent action to approve a new City website design, we are moving steadily in that direction. 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.

The website can be accessed directly at www.wppublicsafety.com.
