The Webster Special Police was originally known as Civil Defense Auxiliary Police and later changed the name to Webster Auxiliary Police. We operated under New York State Civil Defense rules and regulations as administered by the Monroe County Office of Emergency Preparedness until 1997, at which time Auxiliary Police in Monroe County were abolished. Subsequently, our unit was reestablished as the Webster Special Police by the Town of Webster, under Section 158
of New York State Town Law.
