A lack of resources for Athlone Garda Station is among the reasons behind the push.
A member of the Westmeath Joint Policing Committee is calling for a vote of no confidence in the Garda Commissioner.
Councillor, Aengus O'Rourke, says he and many others are at their wits end over the management and lack of resources for Athlone Garda Station.
He also raised concerns with a decline in Garda numbers in the area, an outdated CCTV system and a rise in crime rates in Westmeath.
The Fianna Fáil rep says the recent treatment of a local Garda over the loan of a bicycle to a pensioner was the final straw:
