The Maine Warden Service and Reggie's Kawasaki & Ski-Doo in Leeds teamed up once again this year to provide three new recreational vehicles and two trailers for law enforcement and search and rescue. As a result of the Kawasaki User Relations Loaner Program, three new recreational vehicles and trailers are on loan at no charge to Maine’s game wardens.

Included in this year’s program is a 2018 Kawasaki Mule PRO-FXR 800 side by side UTV. This two-passenger UTV is used during search and rescue operations, ATV special enforcement details,

and aids in transporting people and equipment to and from the woods in a variety of circumstances. Also on loan are two 2018 160hp Kawasaki Jet Ski's on trailers that are being used for recreational boating safety enforcement efforts on Maine's busiest lakes in York and Cumberland counties.
This is the sixth-year Reggie's Kawasaki & Ski-Doo has worked with the Maine Warden Service to help secure recreational vehicles under this loaner program. Reggie's General Manager Craig Caron stated "It's been a great on-going relationship that we have had with the Maine Warden Service. It is good public relations, provides valued tools for their (Warden Service) mission, and it has been good for our business."
The loaner program for these three machines will expire late 2018 when the machines will be returned to Reggie's. The Maine Warden Service is very appreciative to Reggie's and the Kawasaki User Relations Loaner Program as it continues to provide essential equipment to Maine game wardens and valuable added resources to the State of Maine.
