Yonkers, NY – Today, Mayor Mike Spano and Police Commissioner Christopher Sapienza presided over a ceremony that added 13 new Probationary Police Officers to the Yonkers Police Department, as well as recognized 6 members of the department who have previously been elevated to positions of higher ranks and responsibilities.

The other new members are police recruits and are scheduled to enter the Westchester County Department of Public Safety Police Academy where they will attend Basic Recruit School next week.
