Community Outreach and Programs

The Bar Harbor Mount Desert Police Department is committed to serving our community beyond traditional law enforcement. We believe in connecting residents with the resources they need to thrive. This page provides information about various community resources available to residents of Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, and surrounding areas.

Good Morning Program

This is a senior citizen outreach program, which is free to our senior citizens and to our adults with disabilities or that live alone in towns of Mount Desert and Bar Harbor.  Here's how the program works; Seven days a week (8:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m.) one of our agencies dispatchers will call our members who have signed up and do a well-being check. If no phone contact is made at the time of the initial call, a second call will be made. If there is still no contact an officer will be dispatched to the address given, to verify the well-being of our members.

Prescription Drug Dropoff

There is a collection point in the lobby available 24/7 for unwanted prescription drug drop off.
