On the evening of May 30, 2026, if you were driving through Boothbay Harbor after 8 PM, you might have noticed an increased police presence. This was because the Boothbay Harbor Police Department proudly joined the Regional Impaired Driving Enforcement team (RIDE), collaborating with various agencies from District 6, which includes Sagadahoc, Lincoln, Knox, and Waldo Counties.
Our local heroes from Rockland PD, Belfast PD, Sagadahoc County SO, Knox County SO, and Lincoln County SO came together for this important mission last night.
In case you’re curious, these agencies can operate together under Title 30-A, Section 2674, which enables collaboration among law enforcement agencies.
The RIDE team was busy during a six-hour operation, completing around 50 traffic stops and leading to two arrests for Operating Under the Influence. We’re grateful for the community’s support as we work together to ensure a safer environment for everyone!
