Focus: The first phase of the plan to equip all Maine Game Wardens with laptops has started. Twenty Maine game wardens will be in Augusta on Monday, September 11 as one of the first groups to participate in the initial stage of implementing the Maine Warden Service Data Solutions Project. The project, funded by a $600,000 COPS federal grant secured by Maine Congressman Mike Michaud, will equip all Maine Game Wardens with laptop computers.
Congressman Mike Michaud and Governor John Baldacci will visit the laptop training at the public safety building at 1:15 pm on Monday September 11, the five-year anniversary on the attacks on the world trade center. They will speak to the game wardens concerning the importance of working with other county, state, and federal agencies in the wake of 9-11.
The laptops will be invaluable tools that will allow game wardens to manage incidents and investigations from the field and on scene where the actual work is performed. This project will also allow the Maine Warden Service to link with other state and federal law enforcement personnel through computer aided dispatch and electronic information storage and retrieval.
