The Yonkers Police Force was officially organized on April 10, 1871. Prior to that date, Yonkers law enforcement was handled by Town Constables, then by a force that was “rented” from the Metropolitan Policemen from New York City.
The first photograph is of the Yonkers Police Department Base Ball team taken in 1895. The second photograph was taken of Yonkers police recruits in 1899 in front of police headquarters. The third photograph was taken of the entire department in the same location in 1909.
