Pleasantville is central Westchester on the Metro North Harlem line. About 7,200 residents. It's a walkable village best known as the longtime headquarters of Reader's Digest and home of Pace University's main campus.

Effective surveillance in a Westchester community like Pleasantville needs understanding the local rhythms. Which restaurants are dinner destinations vs. lunch spots, which parking lots have line of sight to the front door of a business, where a subject can be observed without burning the case. Pleasantville's character affects every operational decision we make.
