About Westfield Police

The City of Westfield is a great place to raise a family, it is a great place to live, work and play. With the current tensions across America between police and the communities they serve the Westfield Police Department has earned the respect and support of the citizens of Westfield. As a department we believe in the Law Enforcement Code of Ethics, we recognize the badge of office as a symbol of public faith and public trust and will continue to put service before self. Remember, we all have a responsibility to our community, get involved and be proud of it.
