Flame of Hope Runs Through York County!
🔥
On June 3rd, our York County Sheriff’s Office team proudly joined the Maine State Police in the Maine Law Enforcement Torch Run through Arundel. They carried the Flame of Hope on the 4-mile leg along US Route 1 from Kennebunk to Biddeford.
Representing us were Chief Deputy Jeremy Forbes, Detective Steven Broy, Deputy Matthew Cu**er, Recruit Matt Ryan, and Deputy Levi Johnson. Also participating were Deputy Johnson’s wife, Chelsey, Chief Forbes’ daughter, Calley, Maine State Trooper Kyle Forbes, and Cpl. Travis Doughty.

Big shout-out to Deputy Shawn Sanborn and Capt. Colton Sweeny for escorting us safely!

We love supporting our athletes and being part of this great cause every year. The spirit and determination of Special Olympics Maine athletes inspire us all! ❤️

Yesterday's weather brought rain and high winds. This results in water collecting on the leaves, making the tops of trees heavier and susceptible to falling.
This is exactly what happened on Sinnott Road in Arundel yesterday. A tree had fallen and a surprised driver, Cheyenne White, had struck it, thankfully, she was not injured.
Authorities closed the road for about two hours to remove the obstacle. Thank you to Kennebunk Police Department and Arundel Fire Department for assisting to block the roads.

UPDATE: The road is now open.

SEEK ALTERNATE ROUTE - The York County Sheriff's Office is investigating a serious accident in Alfred at Pools Crossing Rd near the Old North Berwick Rd intersection. Pools Crossing Rd will be shut down for a while - please seek an alternate
route. Thank you for your cooperation.

Today concludes Law Enforcement Memorial and Appreciation week. To show our appreciation for our dedicated law enforcement officers, we provided everybody with a Dunkin Gift Card, and we raffled off two special made Co****le Boards!
Detective Stephen Broy and Civil Deputy James Baccon were the lucky winners of the boards!
These specialty boards were made by the Industries Shop at Maine State Prison.

Great job by the School Law Enforcement Club at Massabesic High School this week!

Deputy Cu**er's Law Enforcement club ran a donut fundraiser to support the purchase of training equipment and apparel for the students. Tickets were sold during school lunches, with students and staff picking up their donuts on Friday.

A big thank you to Waterboro Hannaford and Store Manager TJ Buckley for generously donating all the donuts!

Any unsold donuts were donated to local law enforcement agencies in honor of National Police Week.

Events like this are a great way to build positive connections between students and law enforcement.
Thank you to everyone who supported the students!

This week is National Police Week and provides us with a time to reflect and honor those professionals who maintain order and provide everybody with a safe and enjoyable quality of life, often times at a personal sacrifice.
While we at the Sheriff's Office were planning some recognition to show our appreciation to our deputies, we also mourn the loss of a member of one of our partner agencies, Maine Game Warden Joshua Tibbetts. Warden Tibbetts lost his life in an on-duty plane crash earlier today.
This incident clearly resonates with everybody the personal sacrifices our law enforcement officers make every day. The York County Sheriff's office joins the Maine Warden service in mourning the loss of Warden Tibbetts.

This past weekend, Deputy Cu**er had the honor of participating in the annual York County Spring Games for Special Olympics, held at Noble High School. He was joined by Law Enforcement from all over the County.

Over 400 incredible athletes from schools across York County came together to compete in the games. Events like these remind us why community matters.

A huge thank you to all the athletes, coaches, volunteers, families, and Noble High School for making this year’s games a tremendous success!
