Lincoln Police Department – Community Safety Registration Program
Protecting Our Most Vulnerable Residents

The Lincoln Police Department has developed a confidential registry to assist in locating and caring for community members affected by Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Autism, or other cognitive and medical conditions that may cause disorientation or wandering.

This registry allows officers to quickly access important information—such as a photo, physical description, medical conditions, and emergency contacts—when a person is reported missing or is found and unable to communicate. Having this information on hand can save critical time and help us respond effectively and compassionately.

To enhance this effort, the Penobscot Regional Communication Center created the Wandering Program in 2015. This countywide initiative supports first responders by providing real-time access to a secure database of individuals prone to wandering. It alerts officers to key details, including potential triggers and calming strategies that can help ensure a safe and respectful response.

Local Sex Offender Registry & Residency Ordinance – Lincoln, Maine

The Lincoln Police Department would like to remind residents that our town has a local ordinance in place that restricts where registered sex offenders can live. This ordinance was created to help ensure the safety and peace of mind of our community.

In addition to this ordinance, our officers check in and ensure our sex offenders currently living in our jurisdiction. Officers are responsible for conducting periodic checks to confirm the offender is still residing at their registered address. This proactive approach helps us maintain accurate information and quickly identify any violations.

The Sex Offender Registry Website, maintained by the Maine State Police – State Bureau of Identification, provides public access to information about registered offenders currently residing in Maine. Please note:

• The Registry does not include all individuals convicted of a sex crime—only those required to register under Title 34-A MRSA, Chapter 15.
• Registration is limited to those sentenced for a qualifying offense on or after January 1, 1982.
• Registry information is updated daily and includes the date of the last verification next to the offender’s address.

It’s important to understand that while the Registry is a valuable tool, offenders may move without notifying the state, and the accuracy of any listed address is not guaranteed. If you believe any information is incorrect, you can contact the Maine Sex Offender Registry at 207-624-7270 or email them through the contact information on the Registry site.

Important Note:

The information on the Registry is provided solely for public safety and awareness. It is not intended to predict or assess the risk of re-offense, nor is it a warning about any specific person. Misusing this information to harass, threaten, or intimidate anyone listed—or any other person—is illegal and may result in criminal charges.
