Welcome
to Westchester Correction Officers Benevolent
Association, Inc. official website. Our
organization was formed in 1980, and
currently has 750 members. Unbeknown to many
Westchester residents, we are the largest
law enforcement agency in Westchester
County.
|
|
The
duties of Correction Officers are a major
factor in the maintenance of the safety and
security of all persons throughout the state
of New York. Just as the police investigate
crime, the District Attorney prosecutes
crime, the courts try persons charged with a
crime, the Correction Officer secures the
safety of the public from persons charged
with or convicted of a crime. Despite the
significance of the duties of Correction
Officers in the criminal justice system, the
American public does not hold us in the same
esteem comparable to that of other persons
enrolled in other law enforcement agencies.
|
|
Along
with providing updated and relevant
information to our membership, our website
will be devoted to helping the public
understand the true nature of our duties and
our role in providing public safety. |
|
In
addition to our duties as law enforcement
officers, we provide services to Westchester
residents, such as our Childrens Safety and
Identification Program. Information
regarding this program, as well as other
public relation events, will be detailed on
our website. |
