Troop E

Troop E is responsible for Penobscot and Piscataquis counties and for patrolling the 107 miles of Interstate 95 from Newport to Sherman. The troop consists of a lieutenant, three sergeants, 24 troopers (which includes 3 troop investigators) and a secretary. Also working out of the Orono barracks, are 11 emergency communication specialists, a mechanic and a radio technician.
The troop has operated out of the barracks in Orono since 1950. The building was renovated and expanded in 1994.

Many Troop E Troopers maintain specialties as part of their assignment with the Maine State Police. Out of the 24 troopers in the troop 1 is an instructor in radar, 1 is a vehicle autopsy specialist, 3 are members of the evidence response team, 3 are K-9 handlers (1 patrol/drug, 1patrol, and 1patrol/ tactical), 3 are instructors in emergency vehicle operations, 2 are on the tactical team, 3 are members of the underwater recovery unit (1 of those is the unit commander), 2 are firearms instructors, 1 is a member of the bomb squad, 2 are crash reconstructionist 1 is a lead criminal justice academy defensive tactics instructor and 1 is a forensic mapper. In addition 4 troopers are members of the armed forces either with the Army or Air National Guard or Army Reserves. One Troop E sergeant, a Major with the Army Reserves, was activated to military service serving a year in Iraq.

Troop E maintains an excellent long-standing cooperative resource coordination agreement with the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Department.
Within that relationship, Troop E troopers work daily with deputies.
Penobscot County is divided into 6 rural patrol zones staffed by troopers and deputies, and two interstate zones. The southern interstate zone includes I-395. The interstate zones are always staffed by troopers. Troop E coordinates investigations and training with the Penobscot County Deputies.
In fact one troop investigator maintains a desk and computer access within Penobscot S.O. In August of 2005 Troop E and Penobscot Deputies trained jointly in crowd control at the University of Maine at Orono.

Troop E troopers are relied upon heavily by the Maine Criminal Justice Academy, over recent years supplying two sergeants and 1 trooper as part of the training staff on the Basic Law Enforcement Training Program. In addition Troop E supplies many man-hours of training to support the Maine Criminal Justice Academy and other law enforcement agencies.
