Auxiliary Police 27
Auxiliary Police 27 : United States: (3) Eastchester, New York: The Eastchester Auxiliary Police were originally formed by the Westchester County Office of Civil Defense, which was directed by the U. S. Secretary of Defense under the Civil Defense Act of 1950. Like many Auxiliary Police Departments throughout the county, the Eastchester Auxiliary Police Department has developed into more of a policing agency than a civil defense agency, although they maintain both functions. The primary function is to ensure an emergency-ready auxiliary police service and act as the "Eyes and Ears" for the Eastchester Police Department. As a volunteer organization, the Eastchester Auxiliary Police provide an opportunity to have some involvement in public safety, particularly in law enforcement, and to serve one's community during emergencies or routine details. The commitment of volunteers makes it possible for our community to effectively respond to and recover from these emergencies. Eastchester aux. police officers are duly sworn NYS peace officers & while on duty are authorized to carry firearms & make arrests. Currently the authorized sidearm is the S&W M&P. 40 caliber. A/PO's also carry dept. issued OC spray & the ASP expandable baton
