During non-business hours the municipal doors will now be locked.

if it is an Emergency, or call the regular number 364-4551, which will be forwarded to the
Oxford County Regional Communication Center or dial 1-800-733-1421.
We can not respond to an emergency based on an e-mail.
Upon hearing a recording of options, Press 1
this will immediately forward you to a Dispatcher.
All three ways will be manned by civilian dispatchers who are
highly trained to serve and assist you. If you have a complaint or
wish to speak with an officer please use one of these three means.
Due to increase demands to reduce costs to the taxpayers of Rumford,
it was determined that some services may have to be reduced.
In an attempt to be proactive, the Rumford Police Department evaluated
possible reduction in services that would not affect the safety of the citizens of Rumford.
Although this reduction will affect Law Enforcement Officers and may inconvenience
some citizens, it was deemed a reduction that was most safe for the community.
If any citizen has concerns about the new dispatch center hours or any matter
please feel free to contact the Chief of Police.
