Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS)

The Volunteers in Police Service (VIPS) completed 1,044 hours of service for the Cumberland County
Community that freed up our law enforcement personnel to provide regular law enforcement services.
The VIPS have six specially trained volunteers in Trauma Intervention who provide immediate,
compassionate services to victims of crimes, trauma and other tragic events.

The work that the VIPS do for the Sheriff’s Office and the citizens of Cumberland County saves over
$26,365 per year in non-law enforcement tasks and allows the Sheriff’s Office to enhance the services
that we are able to provide to our communities.

Police Athletic League (PAL)

This program provides much needed equipment and helps pay fees for school
and youth leagues struggling to keep sporting programs afloat in this difficult
economy. The PAL program donated $7,350 to various Cumberland County
sports programs in 2021.

PAL also awarded scholarships to four Cumberland County high school seniors
in 2021. Congratulations to Abigail Hill and Camden Rollins of Yarmouth High
School, as well as Haley Theberge and Nathan Plummer of Windham High
School.
