Douglas Maifeld
Police Officer

In February of 1990, I was hired full time
and attended the Maine Criminal Justice Academy,
in the Fall of 1990, where I graduated 10th in
my class (66th Municipal/County Basic Police School).
In the Photo at the left, I am being addressed by the
Cadres Maine State Trooper Robert Chandler
and David Alexander, as Class Leader on the first
day at the Police Academy.

In September of 1993, I was trained to be a
D.A.R.E. Instructor. Our D.A.R.E. Program is taught to
Rumford/Mexico/Roxbury/Byron area 5th graders at the
Rumford Elementary School, Meroby Elementary School and
the St. Athanasius & St. John / Holy Savior School.
Prior to the year 2000 it was taught at the 6th grade level.

On March 26th, 1998, I was honored with being one of two officers
in the State of Maine to be the first officers inducted into the
Maine Law Enforcement Torch Run Hall of Fame.
I was inducted for my over ten years of dedicated service to the
Torch Run and for helping to further the goals of
Special Olympics Maine. This was a very special day for me
and one I'll always remember. Assisting in helping
Special Olympics Maine has been a great pleasure of mine,
both while representing the Rumford Police Department and
volunteering my own time. Please Support your local
Special Olympics. Attend some of their games....
You'll never forget the experience...

In 1996, I worked with the Maine Bureau of Highway
Safety to sponsor the Rumford Police Department
Cop Card Program. The Program was a great success that a second
series was released in 1999 and a third series introducing the
newer officers plus myself and Sgt. Tracey Higley as the
D.A.R.E. Officers was release in October 2003.
An additional Series with even newer officers was released in 2006.
I hope to have a series with the entire department in 2010.
I am an avid Cop Card Collector.
On occasion, I also collect Patches. E-mail me,
If you or your police department have Cop Cards,
I'd love to have them in my collection.
E-mail me for a trade
or if you want to get rid of cards
you can send them to me at
150 River Street, Rumford, Maine 04276-2029.
I currently have over 13,750 Cop Cards from all 50 States,
most Canadian Provinces, England, New Zealand, Holland, Germany,
Puerto Rico and Spain. This is one of my Cop Cards.

On March 26th, 2008, the Rumford Police Department's D.A.R.E. Program.

My duties remain Patrol, D.A.R.E.
