Media Advisory: Governor and Public Safety Commissioner to Release Crime Statistics
There is good news for Mainers: Crime is down according to the Uniform Crime Reporting Division at the Maine Department of Public Safety. Governor Paul R. LePage and Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Morris will release details at a news conference Tuesday.
Governor LePage credits the overall decline to a variety of factors, including more coordination between law enforcement, the courts, prosecutors and domestic violence advocates.
“Maine is one of the safest states in the country. We can all be proud of that,” said the Governor. “Our police departments across Maine deserve to be recognized for the work they do. However, while we have good news to report, we still have issues to address. There are some disturbing trends we have identified, which we cannot ignore. Protecting the public’s safety is the greatest responsibility of government.”
WHEN: 2:30 PM, Tuesday, June 17
WHERE: Augusta Police Department
Speakers:
Governor Paul R. LePage
Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Morris
Augusta Police Department Deputy Chief Jared Mills
