The Sanford Police Department hosted its annual Awards Ceremony, a tradition that honors the hard work, dedication, and achievements of the members of our department.

Several staff members received awards in recognition of their continued efforts to go above and beyond in service to the department and our community.

Many of these awards are especially meaningful because the recipients are nominated and selected by their peers, recognition from the people who work alongside them every day.
This year’s peer-selected awards included:

• Officer of the Year – Officer Sean Remick
• Investigator of the Year – Detective Kyle Cutler
• Civilian of the Year – Shannon Bentley

• Bravery Award – Officer Chantel Allen
• Distinguished Teamwork Award – Sergeant Jeremy Riddle
• Distinguished Teamwork Award – Officer Travis Belleard
• Distinguished Teamwork Award – Officer Damon Ramsay
• Exemplary Service Award – Officer Christopher Kondos
• Life Saving Award – Officer Cody Rickevicius
• Life Saving Award – Officer Scott Jarrett
• Certificate of Recognition – Officer Matthew Gilman

In addition, two awards are selected and presented personally by the Chief of Police to recognize individuals whose leadership, service, and contributions warrant special recognition:

• Chief’s Excellence Award – Sergeant Christopher Brown
• Chief’s Special Service Award – Dr. Karen Harman

Congratulations to everyone who was recognized. And to every member of the Sanford Police Department, sworn and civilian, thank you for the professionalism, dedication, and commitment you bring to this department and to the Sanford community every day!

The City of Sanford is excited to continue our Get to Know Your Local Government educational engagement series!

Our second topic, Understanding Sanford Roadway Reconstruction, takes a closer look at how the City plans and prioritizes major roadway projects through the Roadway Capital Improvement Program (CIP). While it may seem simple to fix the roads in the worst condition, there are many factors that influence when and how a roadway project moves forward.

Want to learn more? Read the full article or check out the graphic below to better understand what goes into planning and prioritizing Sanford’s roadway projects.

And remember, this new series is designed to help residents better understand how local government works and learn more about the services and operations that shape our community — and it’s shaped by your questions!

Is there something about City government, municipal services, or City operations you’ve always wanted to understand better? Submit your ideas for future topics and let us know what you’d like to see explained next!

Congratulations on Your Retirement, Officer Watson!

After 20 years of dedicated service in law enforcement, Officer Adam Watson is retiring from the Sanford Police Department

Throughout his career, Adam has worn many hats, serving as a Field Training Officer, K-9 Handler, Fi****ms Instructor, Vehicle Autopsy Specialist, Court Officer, and perhaps most importantly, our unofficial Department Mechanic. If something had an engine, made a strange noise, or simply wasn’t working the way it should, there was a pretty good chance someone was going to ask Adam about it.

Beyond these roles, Adam has been a valued member of the Sanford Police Department. He has trained officers, shared his knowledge freely, and brought years of experience and common sense to the job. His willingness to step in wherever he was needed has made a lasting impact on the department. Thank you, Adam, for 20 years of dedicated service to our City and community. You will be missed!

Please join us in wishing Officer Watson all the best as he begins this next chapter!

Back to School Safety Reminder!

As students head back to school this week, you’ll see more children walking, biking, and riding the bus. Please do your part to keep our community safe by staying alert and driving carefully!

🛑 Stop for school buses: When the stop arm is extended and red lights are flashing, traffic in BOTH directions must stop. Never pass a stopped school bus.
🚸 Slow down in school zones: Follow posted speed limits and be mindful of changing traffic patterns near schools.
👀 Be alert at crosswalks and intersections: Children may cross unexpectedly. Always stop when directed by crossing guards.
📵 Eliminate distractions: Maine has a hands free law. Put down your phone, keep your eyes on the road, and stay focused behind the wheel.

Wishing all of our Sanford students a safe and successful 2026–2027 school year!

Time Is Running Out to Cast Your Vote on the Comp Plan Vision Statement!

In August, as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan community engagement process, we're asking residents to help choose the plan's vision statement.

A vision statement is a short statement that describes what our community wants Sanford to look and feel like in the years ahead. It serves as the foundation of the Comprehensive Plan, helping shape the goals, recommendations, and priorities that will guide decisions about growth, housing, transportation, parks, economic development, infrastructure, and more.

Using feedback gathered through community surveys, public workshops, and other engagement opportunities, two vision statement options have been developed.
Your vote will help determine the vision statement that will guide the Comprehensive Plan and shape the direction of our community for years to come.
