Greenburgh Police Department Headquarters

Land was selected in the mid-1950's for the construction of a new Headquarters at 188 Tarrytown Road. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Oct. 9, 1956, and the official Opening Day Ceremony occurred on Sept. 9, 1958. Today, the Greenburgh Police Department is recognized as one of the most progressive and efficient law enforcement agencies in the metropolitan area.
