In a time when the American drug epidemic has reached a fever-pitch, our local law enforcement is working harder than they ever have to ensure as much of this deadly poison stays off of our streets as possible.

Thankfully, especially here in Central Maine, we're surrounded by law enforcement personnel who work diligently day in and day out to make sure our street, workplaces, homes and communities stay as safe as humanly possible. And, for that, we're eternally grateful.
