Register my alarm?

Alarms installed in both commercial and residential properties must be registered with the Police Department. You can find the Town of Westport alarm ordinance here. The registration form can be found here. This is an Adobe Acrobat Form [PDF] and is fillable online. Once completed, print out and either mail or drop off at the Westport Police Department.

Get fingerprinted?

Only Westport residents or persons requiring fingerprinting for conditions of employment with a business in the Town of Westport are eligible for fingerprinting. You must present a Photo Identification to be fingerprinted and proof of Westport residency such as utility or tax bills if your license does not list a Westport address.  For hours of operation and additional information visit fingerprinting.

Pay a parking ticket?

Parking tickets may be paid in three different ways. You can pay them online, mail them to the Westport Police Department, or drop the payment off in the lobby at Police Headquarters. Just make sure you pay them within 14 days to avoid a late fee.

Appeal a parking citation?

You may appeal a parking citation by clicking here. The appeal must be filed within 14 days from the issuance of the ticket to be valid. 

All appeals for a parking citation will be reviewed. Upon this review, the parking ticket is either voided, necessitating no further action, or a date is assigned for a hearing. In either case, the individual shall be notified by email.

This does not apply to railroad parking fees, which are not parking violation tickets. Parking fees may not be appealed through this process. If you feel a fee is in error contact the Railroad Parking Office at (203) 341-6052.
