'''Briarcliff Manor''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|r|aɪ|.|ər|k|l|ɪ|f}}) is a suburban village in [[Westchester County, New York]], {{convert|30|mi|km|sigfig=1}} north of [[New York City]]. It is on {{convert|5.9|sqmi|km2}} of land on the east bank of the [[Hudson River]], geographically shared by the [[Administrative divisions of New York (state)#Town|town]]s of [[Mount Pleasant, New York|Mount Pleasant]] and [[Ossining (town), New York|Ossining]]. Briarcliff Manor includes the communities of Scarborough and Chilmark, and is served by the [[Scarborough (Metro-North station)|Scarborough station]] of the [[Metro-North Railroad]]'s [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]]. A section of the village, including buildings and homes covering {{convert|376|acre|ha}}, is part of the [[Scarborough Historic District]] and was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1984. The village motto is "A village between two rivers", reflecting Briarcliff Manor's location between the Hudson and [[Pocantico River]]s. Although the Pocantico is the primary boundary between Mount Pleasant and Ossining, since its incorporation the village has spread into Mount Pleasant.

In the [[Pre-Columbian era|precolonial era]], the village's area was inhabited by a band of the [[Wappinger]] tribes of Native Americans. In the early 19th century, the area was known as Whitson's Corners. [[Walter William Law]] moved to the area and purchased lands during the 1890s. Law developed the village, establishing schools, churches, parks, and the [[Briarcliff Lodge]]. Briarcliff Manor was [[Municipal corporation|incorporated]] as a village in 1902, and celebrated its centennial on November 21, 2002. The village has grown from 331 people when established to 7,867 in the 2010 census.

Briarcliff Manor was historically known for its wealthy estate-owning families, including the [[Vanderbilts]], [[Astors]], and [[Rockefellers]]. It still remains primarily residential and its population is still considered affluent by U.S. standards. It has about {{convert|180|acre|ha|sigfig=1}} of recreational facilities and parks, all accessible to the public. The village has seven Christian churches for various denominations and two [[synagogue]]s. The oldest church is Saint Mary's Episcopal Church, built in 1851. Briarcliff Manor has an elected local government, with departments including police, fire, recreation, and public works. It has a low crime rate: a 2012 study found it had the second-lowest in the state. In the [[New York State Legislature]] it is split between the [[New York State Assembly]]'s 95th and 92nd districts, and the [[New York Senate]]'s 38th and 40th districts. In [[United States Congress|Congress]] the village is in New York's [[New York's 17th congressional district|17th District]].

[[File:JohnDavidOgilby.jpg|thumb|left|upright=0.6|alt=Portrait of clean-shaven man with light shirt and dark formal jacket|John David Ogilby]]
Part of modern-day Briarcliff Manor was once known as Whitson's Corners for brothers John H., Richard, and Reuben Whitson, who owned adjoining farms in the area totaling {{convert|400|acre|ha}}.<ref name="1939history"/><ref name="OssHist"/> Whitson's Corners was named after the corner of Pleasantville and South State roads, where John H. Whitson's house, the Crossways, stood from 1820 until the 1940s.{{refn|group=nb|John H. Whitson was the first village [[postmaster]], and his house was the village post office's third location.<ref name="1939history"/>}} The Briarcliff Congregational Church's parish house currently stands at its former location.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=17}} The neighboring community of Scarborough was known as Weskora until it was renamed in 1864,<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=11}} after resident William Kemey's ancestral [[Scarborough, North Yorkshire|hometown]] in Yorkshire.<ref name="FamilyAlbum"/>{{rp|page=4}} After the community was incorporated into Briarcliff Manor in 1906, the [[New York Central and Hudson River Railroad]] put up a sign reading "Briarcliff West" at the village's [[Scarborough (Metro-North station)|Scarborough station]]. Soon afterward, attributed to the neighborhood's pride over their name,<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=54}} that sign was thrown into the Hudson River and replaced with the original Scarborough sign.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=15}}<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=101}}

Briarcliff Manor derives from "Brier Cliff", a compound of the English words "brier"{{refn|group=nb|"Brier" is a variant spelling of "briar", used for a number of unrelated thicket-forming thorny plants.}} and "cliff". The name originated in Ireland as that of the family home of John David Ogilby, a professor of ecclesiastical history at the [[General Theological Seminary]]. Ogilby had named his New York summer home ''Brier Cliff'' after his family home in Ireland. In 1890, [[Walter W. Law|Walter Law]] bought James Stillman's {{convert|236|acre|ha|adj=on}} [[Briarcliff Farm]] and further developed it, later using the name ''Briarcliff'' for all his property. Law's friend, [[Andrew Carnegie]], called him "The Laird of Briarcliff Manor"; since the title appealed to all concerned, the village was named "Briarcliff Manor".<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=43}}<ref name="NYTBriarcliff"/> By 1897, the village post office and railroad station bore the name Briarcliff Manor.<ref name="1939history"/> The village (and its name) were approved by its residents in a September 12, 1902 referendum; the name prevailed over other suggestions, including "Sing Sing East".{{refn|group=nb|''Sing Sing'' was the name of the neighboring village [[Ossining (village), New York|Ossining, New York]] until 1901.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=18}}}}<ref name="FamilyAlbum"/>{{rp|page=5}} On November 21, 1902, the village of Briarcliff Manor was established.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=43}}

The village is also known by several other names. It is conversationally called "Briarcliff", and often erroneously written as "Briar Cliff Manor" (although historically there has been little distinction).<ref name="RealtyTransfer"/><ref name="BriarCliff"/><ref name="FireFighter"/> The village has been called "Briarcliff on the Hudson" by [[Mark Twain]] and [[Aileen Riggin]];<ref name="Twain"/><ref name="AileenRiggin"/> it is also known as "the Village of Briarcliff Manor".<ref name="1977history"/> The name Briarcliff has also been applied to other municipalities, including the 470-person town of [[Briarcliffe Acres]] in South Carolina; in naming it, the town's founder had drawn inspiration from Briarcliff Manor's name.<ref name="BriarcliffeAcres"/> One of the village's mottos, "A village between two rivers", can also refer to the municipality;<ref name="2007Plan"/> another official motto is a Walter Law quote, "Only the best is good enough".<ref name="OTBest">{{cite news|title=Manor Briefs|newspaper=Ossining Citizen Register|date=June 17, 1978}}</ref>

=== Precolonial and colonial eras ===
[[File:BriarcliffFarms-World'sWork 07.jpg|thumb|left|alt=A valley with a barn and pastures|A portion of the village in 1901, with [[Briarcliff Farms]]' Barn A in the foreground and the [[School of Practical Agriculture]] in the background]]
The history of Briarcliff Manor can be traced back to the founding of a settlement between the Hudson and Pocantico Rivers in the 19th century. The area now known as Briarcliff Manor had seen human occupation since at least the [[Archaic period in North America|Archaic period]], but significant growth in the settlements that are now incorporated into the village did not occur until the [[Industrial Revolution]].<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=5}}

In the [[Pre-Columbian era|precolonial era]], the area of present-day Briarcliff Manor was inhabited by a band of the [[Wappinger]] tribes of Native Americans, known as ''Sint Sincks'' (or "Sing Sings"). They owned territory as far north as the [[Croton River]].<ref name="pamphlet"/><ref name="Ossining"/><ref name="Hudsonnatives"/> In the 1680s, [[Frederick Philipse]] purchased about {{convert|156000|acre|km2|0}} from the Sint Sincks, and named it [[Philipsburg Manor]].<ref name="1939history"/> The Philipses lost their claim to the land because of the [[American Revolutionary War]]; the family, which was [[Loyalist (American Revolution)|Loyalist]], had its property confiscated in 1779.<ref name="FamilyAlbum"/>{{rp|page=4}}<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|pages=2–3}} The area remained largely unsettled by colonists until after the war; in 1693, fewer than twenty families lived in the {{convert|50000|acre|km2|adj=on|0}} area of Westchester which included Briarcliff Manor.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=11}}

=== Progressive era to present day ===
[[File:WalterWLaw1910.jpg|thumb|left|upright|alt=An old man with white hair and sideburns wearing a suit|[[Walter William Law]]]]
After retiring as vice president of [[W. & J. Sloane]], Walter Law moved with his family to the present Briarcliff Manor. He bought his first {{convert|236|acre|ha}} in 1890,<ref name="1939history"/> and then quickly expanded his property, buying about forty parcels in less than ten years; by 1900, he owned more than {{convert|5000|acre|sqmi}} of Westchester County.<ref name="glassglory"/><ref name="society"/> Law developed the village, establishing schools, churches, parks, and the [[Briarcliff Lodge]]. His employees at Briarcliff Farms moved into the village, and the population grew enough to encourage Law to establish the area as a village. A proposition was presented to the supervisors of Mount Pleasant and Ossining on October 8, 1902, that the area of {{convert|640|acre|ha}} with a population of 331 be incorporated as the Village of Briarcliff Manor,<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=14}} and the village was incorporated on November 21.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=43}}<ref name="pamphlet"/>

The [[Tudor Revival]]-style Briarcliff Lodge was opened in 1902 as a premier resort hotel. It was surrounded by Walter Law's dairy barns and greenhouses, and hosted numerous distinguished guests, including [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin]] and [[Eleanor Roosevelt]]. The lodge held the Edgewood Park School (1936–1954) and [[The King's College (New York)|The King's College]] (1955–1994)<ref name="Segal"/> before it burned to the ground on September 20, 2003.<ref name="LodgeBook"/>

The [[Briarcliff Manor Fire Department]] was founded on February 10, 1903, from Briarcliff Manor's first fire company, the 1901 Briarcliff Steamer Company No. 1.<ref name="1939history"/> Scarborough was incorporated into Briarcliff Manor in 1906, and the Police Department was organized two years later. The Village Municipal Building was built in 1913 and was opened on July 4, 1914. The high school opened in 1928, and in 1946, the People's Caucus party, an organization which calls out interested residents for candidacy, was created.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=88}}<ref name="Centennial"/> Briarcliff Manor celebrated its semicentennial celebration from October 10–12, 1952, publishing a book about the village and its history; that year, the Crossroads neighborhood of 84 houses was completed.<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=i}}

In 1953, [[Todd Elementary School]] opened to free space at the Law Park grade school.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=153}} The [[New York and Putnam Railroad#History|Putnam Division]] of the [[New York Central Railroad]] was discontinued in 1958,<ref name="Putnam1958"/> and the following year the [[Briarcliff Manor Public Library]] opened in the former Briarcliff Manor train station. The village's first corporate facility (part of [[Philips Research]]) opened in 1960. In 1964 the new Village Hall opened, replacing the Municipal Building. The present high school opened in 1971 to ease the large enrollment at the grade-school building.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|pages=153–4}} In 1980, [[Pace University]] began leasing the middle-school building, and the middle school was moved to a portion of the new high-school building. The grade-school building was demolished in 1996, and a [[retirement home]] was built on its site the following year. The village celebrated its centennial in 2002, which involved celebratory events.<ref name="Centennial"/> A two-story addition to the village library was built in 2009, and the original portion was renovated to become the village's community center in 2016.<ref name="LibraryHistory"/><ref name="WVCC"/>

== Geography ==
[[File:Todd Lane of Briarcliff Manor.tiff|thumb|alt=A road bridge spanning over a stream|The [[Pocantico River]] as it flows under Todd Lane]]
Briarcliff Manor is around {{convert|30|mi|km}} north of [[Manhattan]].<ref name="2007Plan"/> It is part of Westchester County and so part of the [[New York metropolitan area]] and the New York–Jersey City–White Plains, NY–NJ Metropolitan Division.<ref name="MetAreas"/> It is on the Hudson River, just north of the [[Tappan Zee Bridge (1955–2017)|Tappan Zee Bridge]] and south of [[Croton Point]] (near the widest part of the river)<ref name="WestMap"/> and just northwest of the county's center.<ref name="CentralWestchester"/> According to the [[2010 United States census]] Briarcliff Manor covers an area of {{convert|6.7|sqmi|km2}}, of which {{convert|5.9|sqmi|km2}} is land and {{convert|0.8|sqmi|km2}} is water.<ref name="VillageOverview"/>

The village is a part of the [[Pocantico River|Pocantico]] and [[Saw Mill River]] Basin and the Lower Hudson River Drainage Basin,<ref name="Mapping"/> which leads to the Hudson west-southwest of the village. Major streams running through Briarcliff Manor include the centrally located Caney Brook, the Pocantico River, and Sparta Brook. Abundant rock outcroppings include [[Dolomite (rock)|dolomite]], [[granite]], [[gneiss]], and [[mica schist]]. Copper and silver were once mined near Scarborough, and Briarcliff Manor's geographical area has large [[Glacial erratic|boulders]], deposited in the [[Wisconsinian glaciation|last glacial period]].<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=84}} Elevations within the village range from less than {{convert|100|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} above mean sea level near the Hudson River to approximately {{convert|500|ft|abbr=off|sp=us}} above mean sea level around the center and eastern areas.<ref name="2007MitigationPlan"/> The highest natural point in Briarcliff Manor is {{convert|1200|ft|m}} southwest of [[U.S. National Geodetic Survey|NGS]] [[Survey marker|station mark]] LX4016, off Farm Road, at {{convert|533|ft|m}} above sea level. The village, which covered {{convert|1|sqmi}} when incorporated in 1902, has expanded primarily through annexation: of Scarborough in 1906 and acreage from the town of Mount Pleasant in 1927.<ref name="1939history"/> It is in telephone [[area code 914]] and the postal ZIP code area 10510.<ref name="RandomHouse"/> Briarcliff Manor's Ossining portion takes up nearly half of the village land area, about 93&nbsp;percent of its population, and 85&nbsp;percent of its land parcels.<ref name="VillageOverview"/>

=== Neighborhoods ===
The village is home to neighborhoods and business and residential areas, including the central business district, the [[Administrative divisions of New York (state)#Hamlet|hamlets]] of Scarborough and Chilmark, and residential areas Central Briarcliff West, the Tree Streets and the Crossroads.

==== Scarborough ====
[[File:Beechwood 2016 15.png|thumb|alt=Part of a large white house|[[Frank A. Vanderlip]]'s [[Beechwood (Vanderlip mansion)|Beechwood]] mansion]]
Scarborough, often called Scarborough-on-Hudson because it borders the Hudson River, is an {{convert|0.45|sqmi|km2|adj=on}} unincorporated district divided between Briarcliff Manor and the village of Ossining, with most of the area within Briarcliff Manor and a few streets in the village of Ossining. Briarcliff Manor's portion of Scarborough was annexed into the village in 1906.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=44}} The boundary between Scarborough and the rest of the village is roughly along Old Briarcliff and Sleepy Hollow Roads. The area was settled prior to the Revolutionary War. Around that time, the area included a tavern and inn at corner of Albany Post Road and Scarborough Station Road and a blacksmith shop where the Scarborough Presbyterian Church stands today. Scarborough was named after early settler William Kemey's [[Scarborough, North Yorkshire|town in England]]. A cove in Scarborough is named after him.<ref name="SEChistory"/>

Scarborough is largely residential, and has some of the most expensive houses in the village, due in part to its proximity to the Hudson. Condominium complexes within Scarborough include Kemeys Cove, built in 1974, and Scarborough Manor, a 7-story, 205-unit complex built in the 1960s.<ref name="NYTScarborough"/> The hamlet has a post office and a [[Scarborough (Metro-North station)|station]] on the Metro-North [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]] within walking distance of most houses in the hamlet.<ref name="NYTScarborough"/> Unlike most of Briarcliff Manor, Scarborough is within the [[Ossining Union Free School District]]. During the 17th century, Scarborough became one of the first trading posts for the Dutch on the Hudson. During the early 20th century, the [[Astor family|Astor]], [[Rockefeller family|Rockefeller]], and [[Vanderbilt family|Vanderbilt]] families entertained guests on their river-view country estates in the Scarborough area. The [[Scarborough Historic District]], including the Scarborough Presbyterian Church, is on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. Across the street from the church is [[Sparta Cemetery]], containing graves of local Revolutionary War veterans and the [[Leatherman (vagabond)|Leatherman]].

==== Chilmark ====
[[File:Underhill Road, Chilmark.png|thumb|alt=A shaded suburban road|Underhill Road in Chilmark]]
Chilmark (also known as Chilmark Park) is an unincorporated residential community of about {{convert|300|acre|ha}}, established in 1930, in northern Briarcliff Manor. The neighborhood was designed with Underhill Road as its main thoroughfare, running north–south.<ref name="OssSites"/> It was named after the village of [[Chilmark, Wiltshire|Chilmark]], England, the birthplace and early home of [[Thomas Macy]] (an ancestor of [[Valentine Everit Macy]]), who arrived in the colonies in 1635. The area is culturally significant for its association with the Macy family, whose members were active in New York and Westchester County during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Valentine Everit Macy and his wife, Edith Carpenter Macy, founded the community and aided in its development; Macy purchased several small family farms in present Chilmark in 1897.<ref name="OssSites"/> In 1925, Macy donated {{convert|265|acre|ha}} on Old Chappaqua Road for the first national Girl Scout camp, which later became the [[Edith Macy Conference Center]], a conference and training facility owned and operated by the [[Girl Scouts of the USA]].<ref name="glassglory"/> The Briarcliff Recreation Center was formerly the private Chilmark Club until the 1970s, when the village purchased the land for a recreation center and adjoining park. Macy's residence in the area was the Chilmark estate, a Tudor-style stone and stucco mansion built in 1896 with a nine-hole golf course. The neighborhood hosts Briarcliff Manor's [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]] temple Congregation Sons of Israel.<ref name="pamphlet"/>

Chilmark features landscaped, winding roads designed to blend with the topography, access to transportation (including a commuter rail line and a highway and homes built in [[Revivalism (architecture)|revival]] styles echoing Tudor and Gothic architecture; it is architecturally significant as an example of early-20th-century suburban design.<ref name="OssSites"/> During the 1920s Macy's son, V.E. Macy Jr., founded the Chilmark Park Realty Corporation to sell land parcels. When he began marketing the area, he renovated or demolished existing homes to lend an air of development and built a private {{convert|8.3|acre|ha|adj=on}} [[country club]] for use by Chilmark residents. The village of Briarcliff Manor later purchased the site, and operates it as Chilmark Park. To denote its development as an exclusive neighborhood, Macy planted distinctive shade trees along Underhill Road. Since its founding, additional homes have been built in Chilmark, most between 1955 and 1960.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=146}} The developments expanded the area beyond its original {{convert|300|acre|ha}}; it presently comprises Underhill Road and the streets immediately adjacent to it.<ref name="OssSites"/>

Briarcliff Manor maintains strong ties to its history and traditions. During Briarcliff Manor's 1952 semicentennial, nine people served on the Historical Committee and published a village history book. In March 1974, after the mayor appointed twelve people for a 75th anniversary committee, the committee began by forming the [[Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society]] (BMSHS). The historical society published an updated village history (''A Village Between Two Rivers: Briarcliff Manor'') in 1977, marking the 75th anniversary of the village. The historical society was initially located at the since-demolished Briarcliff Middle School building; it later moved to the second floor of a realty building on Pleasantville Road, and moved back to the school building after it was leased by Pace University.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=195}} On March 21, 2010, the BMSHS was given a permanent location at the Eileen O'Connor Weber Historical Center, established as part of the expanded Briarcliff Manor Public Library.<ref name="HistSociety"/> Members of the historical society joined the nine-member Centennial Committee in 2002 to organize events for Briarcliff Manor's centennial.<ref name="Centennial"/>

The parish of St. Theresa's Catholic Church was established in 1926 with thirty-six families, and the present church was dedicated on September 23, 1928.<ref name="StTheresaHistory"/> The [[rectory]] of the church was the original farmhouse of Briarcliff Farms.<ref name="LodgeBook"/>

Faith Lutheran Brethren Church had its 1959 beginning in a white chapel in [[Scarsdale]]. Its congregation then sold the chapel and moved to its {{convert|2|acre|ha|adj=on|sigfig=1}} current site in Briarcliff Manor. The church, built largely through volunteer labor by the congregation's twelve families, held its first service on October 8, 1967. A nursery-school program, the Little School, began in 1972 and the church also sponsors women's and youth groups.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=75}}

Briarcliff Congregational Church, built in 1896, has windows by [[Louis Comfort Tiffany]], [[William Willet]], [[J&R Lamb Studios]], [[Hardman & Co.]], and Woodhaven.<ref name="pamphlet"/> The church began in a small, one-room schoolhouse (known as the "white school"), built around 1865 and used as a school, a religious school, and a house of worship for up to 60 people. In 1896, George A. Todd Jr. asked Walter Law to support the construction of a new church. Law donated the church land, making his new church a Congregational one so the entire community (regardless of religious background) could attend. The [[nave]] and a [[Norman architecture|Norman]]-style tower were built first, in an English-parish style with Gothic windows. When the congregation outgrew the church, Law funded a northern section (including [[transept]]s and [[apse]]) which was dedicated in 1905. He donated the church organ (replacing it in 1924), four Tiffany windows, and the [[manse]] across the street.<ref name="glassglory"/> The church housed a weekly indoor farmers' market at its parish house from 2008 to 2011, when the market was moved to Pace University's Briarcliff Campus.<ref name="Market"/>

Congregation Sons of Israel, self-described as [[egalitarian]] [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]],<ref name="CSIWebpage"/> was the first synagogue in Briarcliff Manor. The congregation was formed in 1891 by eleven men in Ossining, and until 1902 services were held in homes and stores. That year, the congregation (now twenty-three families) purchased a building on Durston Avenue; the Jewish Cemetery, established in 1900 on Dale Avenue, is still in use. In 1920, the synagogue, numbering forty-five families, established a religious school. After outgrowing its facilities, it purchased a site on Waller Avenue and completed a new synagogue in 1922. During the 1950s the congregation purchased the {{convert|11|acre|ha|adj=on}} Mead Farm on Pleasantville Road, which it has used since 1960.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=101}}

Chabad Lubavitch of Briarcliff Manor & Ossining was established around 2004, and is located on Orchard Road in Chilmark. On March 18, 2015, the organization purchased a building previously owned by the Ossining Heights United Methodist Church, on Campwoods Road in the village of Ossining. Chabad Lubavitch plans to renovate the building significantly before making it its first permanent synagogue.<ref name="Chabad"/>

Briarcliff Manor maintains a voting custom that dates to at least around 1905. In addition to its customary general election, held at the same day in every municipality in New York, the village has a nonpartisan [[caucus]], a town meeting-style forum to determine officeholders. The system of the People's Caucus is largely unique to the village, and has been described as an extension of the [[New England town]] hall concept. The People's Caucus, officially formed in 1946, chooses candidates by majority vote two months before the village election, where the candidates usually run unopposed, turning the election into a formality.<ref name="Caucus"/> The caucus is open to citizens of 18 years or over who have lived in the village for at least a month; voter registration is not required. Voters and candidates do not declare party affiliations, instead candidates present their platforms in early January of each year, and weeks later the caucus meets again to vote.<ref name="Caucus2"/>

The Briarcliff Manor police force was founded by Edward Cashman, a one-person force who covered his beat on foot and by bicycle.<ref name="1939history"/> The crime rate was low during both world wars, and village police work primarily involved rounding up animals (as the constabulary had done since before the Revolution). Most other cases were traffic violations, due to the village's size and parkway access. During the 1980s (as in the 1940s), the police blotter primarily consisted of accidents and traffic violations on the four major roads traversing the village; a 1939 village history asserted that "Briarcliff has never had a serious crime".<ref name="1939history"/> Burglaries have been primarily residential, and murder is rare. In 1989, when the police force considered replacing its .38 six-shot revolvers with semiautomatic 9mm pistols, opinion was divided; village officials could not remember when an officer last fired a gun on duty.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=208}}

In its study of 2012 FBI [[Uniform Crime Reports]], national realtor Movoto LLC assessed Briarcliff Manor as the second-safest municipality in New York, with the second-lowest crime rate in the state.

The first institute for higher education in the village was the [[School of Practical Agriculture and Horticulture]], which Walter Law helped establish on his Briarcliff Farms in 1900.<ref name="SPA-NYT"/> The school taught students ages 16 to 35 in crop and livestock care. In 1902, the school moved to a larger location near [[Poughkeepsie]] and closed a year later due to a lack of funding.<ref name="Closed"/> In addition, Briarcliff Manor has been the location for several colleges. [[Briarcliff Junior College]] was founded in 1903 at the Briarcliff Lodge, and moved near Briarcliff Congregational Church, on land Walter Law donated, in 1905. Among its trustees were [[Howard Deering Johnson]], [[Norman Cousins]], [[Carl Carmer]], [[Thomas K. Finletter]], [[William Zorach]], [[Eduard C. Lindeman]], and [[Lyman Bryson]]. [[Ordway Tead]] was chairman of the board of trustees, and his wife Clara was the college's first president. The school gradually improved its academic scope and standing, and was registered with the [[New York State Education Department|State Education Department]] and accredited by the [[Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools]] in 1944. In 1951, the Board of Regents authorized the college to grant Associate of Arts and Associate of Applied Science degrees. The following year, the [[Army Map Service]] selected the college as the only one in the country for professional training in cartography. In 1956, the [[junior college]] started issuing bachelor's degrees, and became known as Briarcliff College. In 1977 Pace University bought Briarcliff College and the [[Spanish Renaissance-style]] Briarcliff Grade School building, incorporating them into its Pleasantville campus. The Briarcliff Grade School building, which housed the village public school from 1909 to 1980, became known as the Pace University Village Center. During Pace's occupation, the building housed the Briarcliff Manor-Scarborough Historical Society and the Village Youth Center. Pace University operated the school building until its demolition in 1996, and the Briarcliff College campus until 2015.<ref name="FamilyAlbum"/>{{rp|page=45}} At the Briarcliff Lodge property, the Edgewood Park School operated from 1936 to 1954, and King's College subsequently operated there from 1955 to 1994, also using the lodge building and other dormitories and academic buildings.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=172}}

Briarcliff Manor has a post office in its central business district on Pleasantville Road and in Scarborough by the train station. The first post office opened in 1881 in the first train station; it was named for Whitson's Corners. The post office was renamed the Briarcliff Manor Post Office in 1897. When the station building was moved to [[Millwood, New York]], the post office was temporarily moved to a building near the new station. The following post office, a concrete building, was to its east on Pleasantville Road. It was demolished to make way for the Briarcliff-Peekskill Parkway. The post office then moved to an inn, and subsequently to John Whitson's house, the Crossways.<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=57}} In 1933 a replacement building was constructed in the central business district, followed in 1953 by a new brick building next to the present-day village hall.<ref name="1953PO"/> The current post office was constructed at a cost of $500,000 (${{inflation|US|500000|1978|r=-2|fmt=c}} in {{Inflation-year|US}}{{Inflation-fn|US}}) and was completed in November 1978.

The commissioner in 1914 was Arthur Brown; asked by village officials if he needed an automobile, Brown replied that he preferred a horse but would use an automobile if the village purchased it (it did not). The department has about thirty vehicles and employs twenty-nine people.<ref name="1977history"/>{{rp|page=87}}<ref name="WorksStaff"/>

The department operates the Long Hill Road water treatment plant and village pump stations. The Long Hill Road pump house is the primary water supply for the village with supply capacity exceeding 3.5 million gallons per day (MGD). Briarcliff Manor's average daily water supply demand is 1.45 MGD with a peak demand of 3.5 MGD. Briarcliff Manor has four water storage tanks (at Rosecliff, Farm Road, the former King's College, and the Edith Macy Conference Center) and two pump stations (the Long Hill Road pump house and the Dalmeny Road pump station).<ref name="2007MitigationPlan"/>
