In response to the growing number of cyberattacks across the County, County Executive George Latimer in 2022 created a CyberSecurity Task force to review current policies and procedures of the County and to research the current state of threat mitigation. The major goal of the Cybersecurity Task force is to offer best tools and practices to the County, local municipalities, government entities, nonprofits, small businesses and individuals who are facing the possible theft or loss of cyber assets and data.
The County Executive charged the Task Force with designing and implementing ways to disseminate this information across the County, through town halls and other outreach, including this website.
The County Executive created the Task Force with 9 members, 3 appointed by the Board of Legislators, to serve 3-year terms.

The Public Administrator administers estates of deceased Westchester County residents who do not have close next of kin willing or qualified to administer the estate. The Public Administrator's primary duty is; to protect the decedent's property from waste, loss, or theft; to make appropriate burial arrangements when no close relative is available to make the decisions; to conduct thorough investigations to discover all assets; to liquidate assets; to pay the decedent's bills and taxes; and to locate persons entitled to inherit from the estate.
The Public Administrator handles estates in several instances, including, but not limited to, the following:
- There are no known heirs
- No next of kin is available or qualified to handle the estate
- The executor or administrator of an estate becomes ill, dies, is convicted of a felony, or is otherwise disqualified from serving while administering an estate and no one else is available or qualified to handle the estate
