−
*Only 126 of Maine's 492 communities have their own police departments, or other regular police coverage
+
*''Most'' Maine state agencies have transitioned to the new '''[[MSCOMMNET_Maine_State_Communications_Network|MSCommNet P25 digital VHF trunked system]]'''.
−
*The present State Police system was constructed in 1974
+
<br>
−
*A new statewide multi-agency digital VHF trunk system [[MSCOMMNET]] is being deployed
+
<font size="+2" ><b>Maine State Police</b></font>
−
*Regional PD Nets were established to improve communications between local and county departments and the State Police. They presently see limited use and some are apparently inactive. Most inter-agency traffic is on Statewide Car to Car (154.6950 MHz)
+
*Most Maine state agencies are dispatched by the three Regional Communications Centers (RCC) listed below.
−
*Maine Forest Service Rangers are dispatched over the Forestry repeater system from three regional headquarters: Augusta, Old Town & Ashland. Rangers respond to all woods fires of significance
+
*Continued use of the analog, conventional channels listed here, beyond those that are part of the '''[[Maine_EMA#CONOPS_Interoperability_Channels_.28All_Agencies.29|CONOPS Plan]]''', is undetermined.
−
*CONOPS (Concept of Operations) Interoperability channels introduced in 2006 to meet federal requirements for large incident communications. May be assigned by State Police when needed. State has encouraged all local agencies to adopt their use, however it is unclear how many have done so beyond those already in service (State Fire; Statewide Car to Car)
 
−
* State Police also dispatch Marine Patrol (1800 #'s) & Warden Service (2100 #'s) units
 
−
* EMA, DEP, federal units (1700 #'s), & and some local PD's also have access to the system
