Police Department

Our Vision

Damariscotta's Police Department is a community-oriented, proactive police department sharing mutual trust and respect, both with our community and our peers, that will make a difference in our future.


The department had a voluntary assessment completed by the Maine Chiefs of Police Association.  The assessment included three general phases, (1) a review of town documents, crime statistics, polices, etc.., (2) an on-site evaluation, and (3) the independent analysis and report.  The major objective of this report is to present a blueprint for the future of the department, not to be construed as a "report card".  Completing this report will serve as a resource to bolster and continue the professional status and effectiveness of the Damariscotta Police Department.
