What's in it for Me?

Police officers and the citizens they serve each benefit from participating in Community Policing.

Some of the key benefits include:

• Reduction in crime and fear of crime.
• Reduction in calls for police service.
• Increased public confidence in, and support for, law enforcement.
• Increased citizen participation and involvement in local problem solving.

The quality of life in Maine is very important to each and every one of us. Through engaging in problem solving partnerships, police and citizens can enhance their ability to protect the communities in which they live and work.

Education is the Key!

The University of Maine at Augusta encourages everyone to learn more about Community Policing in Maine. Working together we can achive our motto of:

"Building Safer Communities Through Education"
