Augusta – Two new Officers have joined the ranks of the Maine Marine Patrol after recent graduation ceremonies at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.
Callahan Crosby of Rangely will serve in the Rockland and Vinalhaven/North Haven patrol.
As a Marine Patrol Officer, he will conduct patrols, inspections, investigations, and protective services work related to marine resources, boating safety, and criminal laws and regulations and will also participate in search and rescue efforts on tidal waters.
Crosby served as an intern with Marine Patrol from 2021 to 2022 focusing primarily on the lobster and elver fisheries.
He received a B.S. in Marine Affairs from the University of New England in 2023.
August Campbell of Rockport, MA will serve as a Boat Specialist assigned to the Patrol Vessel Dirigo II in Section 1 which extends from Kittery to Yarmouth.
As a Boat Specialist, Campbell will be responsible for patrol vessel operations during routine law enforcement patrols, search and rescue efforts, and investigative work.
Campbell’s work history includes serving as a marine mechanic and as a deckhand and sternman on Massachusetts-based fishing vessels.
He attended Maine Maritime Academy and holds a U.S. Coast Guard 100-ton Master License.
“These two Officers bring important skills and experience to busy patrol areas,” said Marine Patrol Major Rob Beal. “Their professional and educational backgrounds will support a continued strong Marine Patrol presence in the mid-coast and southern Maine regions.”
Both will begin working in their assigned areas immediately while they complete Marine Patrol’s 45-day field training program.
