CEPD Reaches Community in Many Ways

What makes Cape Elizabeth so special is the strong partnership between our residents and our local services—and the Cape Elizabeth Police Department is at the heart of that connection. The CEPD’s commitment to our town goes far beyond traditional law enforcement; they are dedicated community builders.

What makes Cape Elizabeth so special is the strong partnership between our residents and our local services—and the Cape Elizabeth Police Department is at the heart of that connection. The CEPD’s commitment to our town goes far beyond traditional law enforcement; they are dedicated community builders. As we head into the spring and summer, their community outreach is in full swing. We saw this dedication in action during the recent National Prescription Drug Takeback Day on April 25, when officers collected over 190 pounds of medications from 88 vehicles, helping to keep our homes and environment safe. But their community-first approach extends well beyond a single day. This season, you can find the CEPD giving back by: Camp Chewonki, May 12-15. This rite of passage for many CEMS students is a joint effort between the Cape Elizabeth Middle School teachers and CEPD, which offers an outdoor education program. During the weeklong camp, officers engage alongside students in activities such as hiking, team-building, and environmental lessons that support a safe, structured, and positive experience. By participating in the camp setting, officers build meaningful connections with students through shared challenges and outdoor experiences, strengthening relationships between youth and law enforcement.This year's attending Officers: David Galvan and Kevin KobergerThe Cape Elizabeth Fishing Club begins on May 20.  This partnership with Community Services offers students in grades 4-6 hands-on fishing skills at Fort Williams and Great Pond.  The success of this program means spots fill up immediately. Seat Belt Challenge May 27 & 28. Officers will host a Seat Belt Challenge at the Middle School, where students will compete and learn about occupant safety. Movie Nights Date TBD. Whether held during the warmer months at Fort Williams or at the cafeteria during the winter, movie nights bring community members of all ages together.Community Liaison Officer Darin Estes and Detective Tammy SchafranFishing Club activities

Players' Ring Finds Second Home at Portsmouth Community Campus

Our calendar tends to get… ambitious. Several productions rehearse at once. One building. One room.To make things extra spicy, the stage is often fully occupied by the current set—making it hard for other groups, with completely different spatial needs, to rehearse properly. Being able to access additional rehearsal space is vital for us. Over the years, we’ve been lucky. Friendly organizations have hosted us—for free, for barter, or for reasonable fees: New Hampshire Theatre Project, Seacoast Rep Studios, Kittery Art Association, Kittery Community Center, the Upside Arts Space (when the Fox Run Mall was still a thing)… But for the past two years, the Portsmouth Community Campus has quietly become a second home to us. Modern. Spacious. Full of light. Thoughtfully and warmly run by the City’s Recreation Department. If you haven’t been, pay a visit. And while you’re there, raise your gaze toward Each One: The Button Project | A 9/11 Memorial by Sarah Haskell. It’s a potent piece of public art that has just been rehomed there. It stopped me. I hope it touches you too. From my Ring-shaped heart, Margherita
