================

background - primary police services in Maine are provided by -

1. local police (usually a city - maybe some larger towns also)

2. county sheriff - unincorporated areas - and many towns - maybe 1 or
2 smaller cities also

3. state police - cover the interstate - plus some towns and some
unincorporated areas - possibly this varies from county to county and
depends on how many staff the county sheriff has - maybe in some
locations state police is primary on even days and sheriff is primary
on odd days - or similar arrangements

typically cities and larger towns have their own local police radio
channel - each county has 1 primary countywide police channel (which
might handle traffic from state, county, and local units) - and the
state police have their own statewide 150 mhz trs (which also handles
state game wardens, state forestry, etc) - afaik there are no county
or local units that operate primarily on the state TRS

the 911 system typically has PSAPs in the county seats and in the
cities - not sure if the state police operate any primary PSAPs or not
- they might be the PSAPs for cellphones - but iirc state police only
have 2 dispatch centers to cover the entire state (Augusta and Bangor)

the state police might be 2ndary PSAPs for some cities - which might
explain why State Police / DPS received phone calls about the Lewiston
incidents

the upshot of all of this is - there are 2 primary 24/7 police
response systems in Maine - one run by the State (mostly for the rural
areas and the Interstate) - and one run by the counties and cities
(covering both urban and rural areas) - and this is reflected in the
response time info given in this press conference

Maine does have some wilderness areas where it might take several
hours for any type of armed police officer to arrive at an incident
