The Sheriff's Office Patrol Division has been involved in and very successful at the Seatbelt and Speed Enforcement program over the last month. The monies for overtime are provided by the State of Maine, Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Highway Safety, High Visibility Enforcement Program.

The Sheriff’s Office conducted (11) eleven Sex Offender Registrations (SOR) in the month of January 2009. I once again must point out this requirement placed on the Patrol Division is strapping our patrol resources and diverting time away from criminal investigations.

The 2008 Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) statistics are out and I am very pleased the Washington County Sheriff's Office has the highest clearance rate of any Sheriff's Office in the State of Maine.

Clearance rates are a representation of the number of crimes reported and solved by an law enforcement agency.

This comes after three years of budget cuts in the Sheriffs Office Patrol budget.

I am very proud of the Patrol Deputies in these trying economic times for reaching this achievement with dwindling resources.

I would also like to recognize the Correction Division for maintaining a safe facility while operating at or over jail capacity.

Great job by all.

Officers Association has provided an innovative program for Maine youth. Focused on tobacco, alcohol, drug, and crime prevention, Camp P.O.S.T.C.A.R.D. is designed to benefit some of Maine's most deserving 5th and 6th graders. Camp P.O.S.T.C.A.R.D. (Police Officers Striving To Create And Reinforce Dreams) provides kids with direct involvement and mentoring with a variety of law enforcement and criminal justice professionals.

This popular and successful program has proven to be an important opportunity to build strong relationships and valuable life skills that serve our campers, their families, and their communities. The primary goals of Camp P.O.S.T.C.A.R.D. are to establish positive bonds between the children and law enforcement and criminal justice professionals, and to use that relationship to help reduce crime and the use of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. Another important goal is to help empower children to take more control of and responsibility for their own decisions, actions, and ultimately their future. The program also increases awareness for schools, parents, and communities about the issues that are important to children.

The Sheriff's Patrol also has conducted numerous O.U.I., Speed enforcement patrols through the month of June with great success.

Lieutenant Travis Willey and Deputy Richard Rolfe completed SWAT 1 training at Kennebec County Sheriff's Office. Both Lieutenant Travis Willey and Deputy Richard Rolfe are Firearms Instructors for the agency and this training will be of a great asset to the Sheriff's Office Patrol Division.
