East Millinocket Police Department
EMPD has responded to 10,520 calls for service to date in 2023 with more than 5,495 of those calls being in the Town of Millinocket.
Officers have arrested or summonsed more than 525 individuals to date and conducted more than 2960 motor vehicle stops.
We are excited to have Ofc Clayton and K9 Derby back on patrol after their completion of Phase 1 of K9 training. Ofc Clayton has had the chance to show off K9 Derby at a few public events in Millinocket in recent weeks. K9 Derby is going to be a huge asset to the entire Katahdin Region.
Ofc Edson recently assisted the Katahdin Federal Credit Union in speaking with their employees about their actions in the event of a robbery and things they could do to better help us investigate and to keep themselves safe.
Ofc Edson recently became certified by the NHTSA as a child seat safety technician. Ofc Edson will be making himself available during community events to assist in safety seat inspections or installation. Also, this is a FREE service and anyone looking for help or advice with a child safety seat can contact Ofc Edson at any time.
The Millinocket Marathon was again a HUGE success for our region. EMPD provided a large amount of officers for the event. We also worked in conjunction with Penobscot EMA, Penobscot RCC, Maine Warden Service, Maine State Police Bomb Team, Millinocket and East Millinocket Fire Departments to provide law enforcement and EMS services. We were again able to run a command post for race operations, which was very effective. We did see an increase in race related calls compared to years past, which is expected due to the continued growth of this event. Most importantly, it was again a safe and enjoyable day.
Officers also had a nice afternoon with Santa at the Lots of Love tree dedication in Veterans Memorial Park.
Our region has began to see a very wide variety of severe winter weather. All public safety departments do our best during these events but we want to remind the public to be patient and allow extra time when traveling. Also, as snow season arrives please remember winter parking rules and bans are in effect. Vehicles WILL BE towed if they are hindering snow removal efforts.
We want to wish everyone a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
Police Chief Cameron McDunnah & Corporal Bradley Fitzgerald
