Elder Checks

Our elder checks began when the Sheriff realized there were

many elderly citizens in Franklin County that had no family or

close friends available to watch over them. A voluntary program

was developed that, if requested, a deputy would visit (a person

fitting this description) every 2 weeks.

​​

The purpose to be:

​1. To check on their physical well being to ensure they are thriving

in their personal environment

2. To ensure they had enough food

3. To ensure they are warm enough in winter

4. To provide some human contact and fellowship during their day

​

​If you or someone you care about would like to have biweekly checks done, please fill out the Elder Check Form and send to Deputy Morgan at amorgan@franklincountymaine.gov.

Property Checks

​If you are planning to leave your year-round home, business, or seasonal camp vacant for a period of time longer than 2 weeks, you can fill out the Property Check Form and request that a deputy checks in on your property while you are away. You'll have peace of mind knowing that the Franklin County deputies will patrol your residence in your absence and address any issues that may arise. Please send completed forms and inquires to Deputy Zenteno at czenteno@franklincountymaine.gov.

Citizens Police Academy

The Citizens Police Academy offers weekly classes to residents of Franklin County over a period of six weeks. These classes are led by patrol deputies who are the people in our agency whom the community is most often in contact with. Topics such as traffic law, criminal law, police canines and investigations are all covered. Attendees also accompany deputies on patrol to get first hand insight into what it's like to patrol rural Franklin County.
