As the summer comes to an unofficial end, we want to thank our members for all their hard work and dedication to duty.

The department answered 1,102 calls for service from Memorial Day through Labor Day, bringing our year to date total to 2,319 incidents.

We responded to many critical incidents this summer and we want to thank the members of the Westport Police Department, HarborMaster, E911 Dispatchers and our Town and State (DCR) Lifeguards for their assistance and continued partnership.

🚌 Schools in Westport are open! Be alert for students getting on and off the school bus.

Illegal school bus passing poses a significant threat to children and others on the road. In every state, it is illegal for you to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing.

Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.

Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.
