Announcements
The Portland Agricultural Fair is scheduled to return this Friday, October 2, through Sunday, October 4. The Police Department would like to offer the following safety tips:
* Keep moving: Pull to the side of walkways to take photos or talk with others.
* Stroller safety: Use extra caution when navigating crowded pathways with strollers or wagons.
* Meeting spots: Choose a clear physical landmark as a meeting spot as soon as you arrive.
* Child safety: Snap a photo of your kids at the entrance to document their outfits. Show them what fair staff look like so they know who to approach for help.
* Secure your belongings: Keep items in your front pockets, use an anti-theft bag, or track valuables with GPS tags.
The Police Department is expecting a surge in motor vehicle traffic on Main St between Summer St and Rt 17 during these dates. Commuters are highly encouraged to find alternate routes to alleviate congestion.
