Town Supervisor of Ossining Susanne Donnelly said in her update letter that she is seeking feedback from Briarcliff Manor and Ossining town residents regarding the the Town of Ossining's consolidation of the Police Department.

The contract was a four-year contract with the Westchester County Department of Public Safety. The Town of Ossining is now releasing a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the next contract to be delivered to our the Villages of Ossining and Briarcliff Manor, as well as Westchester County.  

Supervisor Donnelly said the Town has not received any complaints about the services or response times. They have gotten praise on the attentiveness of officers to Town concerns.
