Cumberland Police

The MSAD51 emergency alerting system was activated this afternoon for a minor situation that did not require a full emergency response. SRO Clukey arrived in the area in less than a minute and provided us with updated information. There was no intruder or threat to campus.

Sunday marked the first day of the 153rd Cumberland Fair -AND- the first time our officers donned their new cowboy hats. The verdict from attendees? A resounding success! #SeeYouAtTheFair

☘️ Have a safe St. Patrick’s Day! 🇮🇪

Media Release @WGME @newscentermaine @WMTWTV @PressHerald

NO SCHOOL Monday, January 23 for all schools in MSAD 51 due to the storm. This is a traditional snow day (no remote learning).

MSAD 51 schools have RED/Remote learning day Friday, Feb. 4. Campus closed.

Our SnowFighters have done a great job keeping our primary routes in town clear. This short video was taken on Cross Road and it was cleared by a DPW SnowFighter just minutes later. Snow should be winding down soon, though blowing and drifting may continue into Sunday.

…and in West Cumberland, visibility is just as bad. It may be hard to tell in the video but the wind is rocking the cruiser. Winn Road by Pine Ridge Acres is one example where drifting is occurring. Complete whiteout conditions have been encountered. ❄️

Here’s a peek at current conditions looking up Beach Drive at Broad Cove Reserve along the Foreside. Visibility is much worse while in motion. Please use caution if you must travel.

Traditional snow day in MSAD #51 Friday, January 7. Enjoy the day!

Large sewer main break: Tuttle Road near the entrance to Twin Brook at 185 Tuttle Road. The Portland Water District will be shuttling sewerage by truck to minimize impacts. Repairs to begin at dawn; lane closures possible. No Twin Brook access from Tuttle Rd.

From the Superintendent’s desk: no public school today in Cumberland/North Yarmouth Wednesday, December 22. BE SAFE!

Thank you to all the extra officers walking footbeats in town tonight. We appreciated the backup! Here a couple of action shots we grabbed, along with one of a loose shark spotted near a cruiser. 🚓🎃💙
