The Cape Elizabeth Police Bulletin Board

by: Henry and Ben, Cape Elizabeth, grade 5

The Cape Elizabeth police department has a bulletin board located in the squad room at the police station, which is across from the town hall on Route 77 in Cape Elizabeth.  One of the purposes of the bulletin board is to share information with  police officers in Cape Elizabeth and other towns in Maine about people who are going to be witnesses in court and people wanted by the police.  Teletypes received from other police stations are paper clipped together and tacked up on the board so that officers can keep up to date on whatís happening in other towns.  The board is also used to post the status of all the police cars in town.  The last part of the bulletin board has information about the police union.  This section also displays how much money the police officers earn each year.  The board can not be viewed by the public without special permission from the police department because the information on it is confidential. We made the picture blurry because of the confidential information.
