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. 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
