Portland Police To Hold Community Open House
PORTLAND, Maine – The Portland Police Department invites community members to join on Thursday, March 12, 2026, for a Community Q&A followed by an Open House at its headquarters at 109 Middle Street.
This event is an opportunity to connect directly with the people who serve the city every day. The Police Chief, Command Staff, and Community Policing Unit will be in attendance to listen, answer questions, and engage in open conversation about public safety, policing in Portland, and how to continue strengthening relationships within the community.
The evening will begin with a Community Q&A from 5:00–6:00 PM, giving residents a chance to share thoughts, ask questions, and learn more about the department’s work and priorities. From 6:00–7:00 PM, the public is invited to stay for an Open House and tours, where residents can meet officers and staff, learn about different units and services, and get a behind-the-scenes look at the Portland Police Department.
“We believe strong community partnerships start with communication, transparency, and trust,” said Police Chief Mark Dubois. “Whether you have questions, concerns, or just want to learn more about what we do, we hope you’ll join us for this evening of conversation and connection. We look forward to welcoming you.”
