I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Westwood Police Department  website. It is my hope that you will find this site to be a valuable resource in your search for information about the department, and that you will discover ways in which you can join in partnership with police to fight crime in the community.
The Westwood Police Department is composed of 28 sworn and 10 civilian employees who proudly serve the citizens of Westwood. They work 24 hours per day to protect lives and property within a community that spans approximately 13 square miles and is home to more than 15,000 people.
Members of the agency are committed to providing quality customer service through a community oriented policing and problem solving philosophy. Within this philosophy, department members work in partnership with citizens to identify the root causes of crime, disorder, and fear of crime for purposes of making long-term improvements in the safety and quality of life within Westwood.
You will find as you look through our site that citizen/police partnerships are the foundation on which our current and future plans are built. The department's success today and in the future is reliant upon the many partnerships that exist between department members, citizens, businesses, and other governmental agencies.
I invite you to contact us with any comments, questions, or suggestions you might have as you tour this site. I thank you for your partnership, and look forward to working together to maintain a safe and livable community for all to enjoy.
William G. Chase
Chief of Police
