🎃🚓 What a great night at Trick or Treat at the Docks! 🚓🎃

We had an awesome time visiting with so many of our friends and neighbors in the community while handing out treats and enjoying all of the amazing costumes. Events like this are a great reminder of what makes Westport such a special place to live and work.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and to all of the organizers, volunteers, and businesses who helped make the event a success. We had a blast and are already looking forward to doing it again next year!

Today, Chief Phillips administered the Oath of Office to the Westport Police Department’s newest police officer, Darin VanderVeur.

Officer VanderVeur is a military veteran and recently retired as the Assistant Chief of the South Beach Regional Fire Authority after a distinguished career in the fire service. His years of experience in emergency response, leadership, teamwork, and serving the community have prepared him well for this next chapter in public safety.

As part of today’s ceremony, Officer VanderVeur’s mother and son had the honor of pinning on his badge, making the occasion especially meaningful as he began this new chapter of service. Their participation highlighted the important role that family support plays in the careers of those who dedicate themselves to public service.

We are excited to welcome Officer VanderVeur to our team and look forward to the knowledge, leadership, and experience he brings as he embarks on this new journey in law enforcement. Please join us in congratulating Officer VanderVeur and wishing him success as he begins serving the Westport community in his new role.

The Westport Police Department is pleased to announce the addition of LIDAR/LASER speed measurement devices to our traffic enforcement tools.

In response to community concerns and speed complaints throughout the city, these instruments will help officers more accurately monitor vehicle speeds and address unsafe driving behaviors along our streets. Our goal is simple: improve safety for everyone who lives, works, and visits Westport.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to our partners at the Casselberry Police Department in Florida, who generously donated four LIDAR units to our agency. Their support provides our officers with valuable equipment that will enhance our ability to protect the community while making the most of our resources.

Traffic safety remains a priority for the Westport Police Department. We encourage all motorists to slow down, obey posted speed limits, and help us keep our streets safe for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and families.

Step Into Leadership. Shape the Future.

Opportunities like this don’t come around often.

We are seeking a Police Sergeant who is ready to do more than supervise, to lead, to influence, and to help define the future of a department that is committed to growth, professionalism, and community trust.

What makes this position truly unique is the ability to enter the organization at the first-line supervisory level. This is not just a promotion, it’s an invitation to bring your experience, perspective, and leadership style into a department that values fresh ideas and forward-thinking approaches.

As a Sergeant, you won’t simply inherit a culture, you’ll help build and refine it. You’ll play a direct role in:
• Mentoring and developing officers into the next generation of leaders
• Setting the tone for professionalism, accountability, and service
• Driving meaningful change in how we engage with our community
• Strengthening teamwork, morale, and organizational pride
This is a rare opportunity to have a seat at the table early, to influence decision-making, contribute to strategic direction, and leave a lasting impact not just on the personnel you supervise, but on the entire organization.

Minimum Qualifications:
• At least five years of continuous law enforcement experience (no breaks in service)
• Demonstrated leadership qualities and initiative
• Supervisory experience preferred, but not required
• An open mind, positive attitude, and commitment to growth

We are looking for leaders who:
• Lead with integrity and purpose
• Embrace innovation and continuous improvement
• Value collaboration and positive culture
• Are motivated to make a difference beyond the badge

If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to step into leadership in a department that values new perspectives and is committed to excellence, this is it.

Come be part of something bigger, help shape a department, strengthen a culture, and lead with purpose.

For more information or to receive an employment packet, please contact the Chief of Police, Ron Phillips, at [email protected].

First review of applications will be October 27, 2026.

Today, the Westport Police Department is excited to welcome one of our newest team members... McGruff the Crime Dog!

While Westport is fortunate to be a community with relatively low crime, McGruff is here for an important mission: to help take a bite out of crime, promote safety awareness, and strengthen the relationships between our police department and the community we proudly serve.

You may see McGruff at community events, school programs, safety presentations, and other gatherings throughout the year. His role is not only to educate residents about crime prevention but also to help create positive interactions between law enforcement and the people we serve every day.

Building trust, fostering partnerships, and keeping our community safe takes all of us working together. McGruff is ready to lend a paw and remind everyone that crime prevention starts with being informed, involved, and looking out for one another.

If you see McGruff out and about, be sure to stop by, say hello, and snap a photo!

Welcome to the team, McGruff! Together, we'll continue working to keep Westport a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and visit.
