WPD is offering yard signs for residents to help remind the motoring public to slow down and avoid distractions in the car. Westlake residents can pick up these easy to install signs in the WPD lobby. We simply ask you to register using the attached QR code (also in the lobby)

With more snow/sleet in the forecast this is a good time to remind drivers: Don't Crowd the Plow! The Westlake Service Dept works hard to keep roadways safe for all. Slow down, stay at least 50 feet back from snow plows....and stay off the phone! #staywarmwestlake

HOLIDAY SAFETY CORNER! Reminder if you will be away for the holidays: Utilize WPD's Vacation House Check (VHC) program if you will be away from your Westlake home for 3 days or more. (call 440-871-3311 to be put on the VHC list)

Our officers have responded to many motor vehicle crashes in the last week. If you need a copy of your report please use the QR code. If you cannot find your report on the site after 5 days please contact the WPD records department at [email protected] #staywarmwestlake

Due to a water break, the roadway in front of 28045 Ranney Pkwy. has been closed to both EB and WB traffic. Cleveland Water is on site for repairs. There are alternative routes as show in yellow in the photo below. The red block is where the road is closed.

HOLIDAY SAFETY CORNER! The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and celebration, but it’s also a time when safety should be top of mind. Here are some quick tips to ensure a happy and hazard-free holiday.

The holidays are full of surprises — a DUI shouldn’t be one of them. Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over. 🎁🚓

Westlake High School SRO Gaertner helped the French Club "Stuff the Cruiser" with donations to the Animal Protective League this week. WPD's partnership with the Westlake City Schools allows a WPD School Resource Officer to be full time in each and every public school.

Thanks to Luca West for the great lunch provided to WPD officers and employees! The food is ALWAYS spectacular! The great relationships maintained with city businesses strengthen the safety and security of the whole community. Luca West

WPD Emily is happy that Santa Paws will be visiting tonight. She also knows that other, not so jolly visitors sometimes take advantage of the holiday distractions which cause people to forget to lock their car doors and take the keys and fobs out of their vehicles when parked.

Merry Christmas from all of us at the Westlake Police Department! Enjoy time with your friends and families. We just a phone call away if you need us - 24/7/365 #staymerrywestlake

Have fun at your Holiday Parties this weekend. Remember the most important part: plan to get home safely. Use a ride share of designated sober driver. NO EXCUSES! #merrychristmaswestlake

Thank you to the Westlake Town Criers who worked with Columbia Gas of Cleveland to obtain a grant of $5000 to the police public donation fund. The funds will be used to help pay for continued public outreach initiatives.

Wires Down! Hilliard Bl is currently closed at Coes Post Run (Between Dover and Bassett) due to a utility pole being in the roadway along with wires. Police, Fire, Westlake Service and CEI are working on the issue now. Treat any dark traffic signals as 4 way stops!
