MISSION STATEMENT:Our mission is to serve the community with pride and excellence.We strive to provide modern policing methods to partner with our residents to achieve a safe and secure place to live, work and play. ABOUT RUMFORD, MAINE:We are located in the western foothillsapproximately one hour from the New Hampshire border on U.S. Route 2. The Town of Rumford was first settled in 1779 by Jonathan Keyes. Rumford was the 123rd town in the District of Maine, which at that time was still part of Massachusetts. The original Charter was signed on February 21, 1800 making Rumford an official town. Rumford currently has a population of approximately 6,500 and borders one side of the Androscoggin River, while the town of Mexico, Maine borders the other. The Rumford Police station was formed in 1904 and consisted of four officers and a working chief. Today in its second century, the department is made up of a Chief, Lieutenant, Detective Sergeant, two patrol Sergeants, eight Patromen, and a civilian dispatcher. The current department house is on the riverside of the Town Municipal buidling and contains the dispatch center (7 A.M. to 7 P.M.) and temporary holding facility (Jail) for Northern Oxford County. "DISPATCH CENTER":As of June 18th, 2007 the dispatch center is only open during business hours8:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. Monday thru Friday. Citizens of the Rumford Area can continue to call the regular numbers and will be answered by a Highly Trained Rumford Area Civilian Dispatcher. During non-business hours the municipal doors will now be locked. If you wish to speak to an officer you need to either call 9 - 1 - 1 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.
