Congratulations Officer Argitis👏👏👏 thank you for all you do for our community🙏💕

The Portland Police Department is proud to recognize Officer Argitis as its Officer of the Month for September. He is a member of the “A” team at the PPD, working the day shift.

Officer Argitis was recently able to talk down a suicidal subject who was in a dangerous state and on the verge of taking his own life. He took a very calm stance with the individual, building a rapport and verbally deescalating him to a point at which he handed over his weapon and agreed to be evaluated for mental health treatment. His calm demeanor, devoted experience and public safety knowledge succeeded in putting an unsafe situation to rest. Not a surprise, Office Argitis is also a member of the Crisis Negotiators Team.

Congratulations, Officer Argitis!

Saturday, October 18, 10:00am-1:00pm
Public Safety Building, 275 US Route One

October is Fire Prevention Month! Public fire education programs are essential to our work in keeping our community safe. We work with Scarborough elementary schools, nursery schools, and daycare centers to provide age appropriate fire safety, like how to use 911, having a home safety and escape plan, and "stop, drop, and roll".

Fire Prevention Month isn't only for school-aged children. It's a great time for every household to conduct a home fire safety inspection and test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

To celebrate, we're hosting a Fire Prevention Open House and inviting our community to join us.

Congratulations to Chief Langerman👏👏👏❤️Westbrook Fire Department

We are proud to share that Deputy Chief Brian Langerman has become the first individual in the State of Maine to earn the Chief Emergency Medical Services Officer (CEMSO) credential from the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE).

This milestone also makes him Maine’s first dual-credentialed public safety leader, holding both the CEMSO and Chief Fire Officer (CFO) designations, a rare and nationally recognized accomplishment.

We’re incredibly proud to have him represent our Fire department and our state at this level. Congratulations, Deputy Chief Langerman!
