Maine Association of Police

The Maine Association of Police (MAP) was established in 1975 by a small group of local police associations. These associations voluntarily banded together to promote and de­velop a friendly cooperative effort among full time municipal law en­forcement personnel. MAP became a non-profit corporation on February 13, 1976, developed a set of by-laws for governance of the membership, and was represented by the law firm of Richardson, Tyler & Troubh.

Over the years MAP has continued to grow and at this time represents 42 local municipal associations consisting of approximately 900 members. Members of MAP believe that the needs of law enforcement should be represented by those in law enforcement positions and will continue to send representatives before the Legislature in Augusta concerning Bills of this nature. MAP is becoming a strong voice in the State of Maine when it comes to issues affecting or dealing with law enforcement
