| Congratulations to our Members in Damariscotta |
Congratulations to our Brother and Sister members in Damariscotta. Through their professionalism, they proved that people want their police to be local and part of their community. A selectboard proposal to change their charter would have given the 5 member selectboard sole authority to disband the police dept and contract with other providers.

To All MAP Local Units/Presidents:
I will be on vacation, and the office will be closed from May 11th through May 20th. Any local issues that are not critical incidents which may arise, you will contact your assigned Vice President located in your Street Reference Guide.
Procedures for critical incidents will not change and you will be contacting a MAP attorney first, then a Vice President which are located in your street reference guides. I will be back in the office on Tuesday May 21st. The office will still be able to receive Emails during my absence.
Also, Effective today, Attorney Michael Rair will no longer be covering critical incidents in the northern part of the state. Please adjust your street reference guides to reflect this change. In the case of a critical incident which takes place north of Augusta, you will again be contacting one of our Portland Attorney's; Dan Felkel, Bill McKinley, John Chapman or John Goodman.
Thank you and Stay Safe;
Paul Gaspar
MAP Executive Director
