Chief’s Column

Chiefs Column Heading

The Chief’s Column is a monthly message where Chief Battiloro addresses residents and the extended Westfield community about current or prospective threats, community policing efforts, and much more. The column is published in two local established and trusted media outlets, The Westfield Leader and TAPinto Westfield, during the first week of every month.

The Chief’s Column is an initiative of our Intern, Layla Halterman.  Do you think our followers would benefit from this?  If so, to submit a topic for the Chief to report on, please contact Layla Halterman via email at chiefscolumn@wpdnj.org.
