As the Westfield Police Department works on its strategic planning, one area of focus is officer training. The department wrapped up the public input portion of the strategic plan development process last month. WPD Chief Shawn Keen said the final plan will set goals for crime prevention strategies, growth and staffing. He said proper training plays a key role in preparedness. “One of the things we’re looking at in the strategic plan is the construction of the new police department,” Keen said.
