A Message from Chief Daniel Babich

Dear Residents

As we are all trying to move on with our lives after all the major events from the Corona virus Disease life will always still bring daily opposition and challenges to our lives.

Something I would like to recommend and share to my residents what I have learned from over 33 years of being in law enforcement. In our lives, things change for one reason or another, especially involving family members.

Please make a habit of placing a large contact information card located on your refrigerator for who you would like to be contacted in case of emergency with bright highlighted letters. Also, list your main doctor’s information along with a list of your medications, so when an officers come into a home and something has happened to you, there are times we are unable to get proper contact information, it helps police officers to contact the right people to secure your home and property, and most of all, so police officers are not forced to go through your personal belongings to locate a family member’s phone number.

Also, as we all know sometimes we have a falling out with family members and officers do not want to contact the wrong person and let them take over with securing your home until you are able to do so yourself. This contact card will help save officers time in searching and most of all locating the proper person you want in your home. Sincerely

Chief Daniel Babich Westchester Police Department
