We have been made aware of a popular saying “ain’t no laws when you’re drinking claws”. To clear the air: here in Portland, laws still apply even when you’re drinking claws. Or drinking anything else. RT to keep your “bros” out of trouble

Portland, MAINE PD. For emergencies: call 911. Non-emergencies: call 874-8575. You may also text keyword PPDME and your message to 847411. Not monitored 24/7.
- It's snowing! Slow down, leave space between you and the car in front of you. Don't be this guy!
- For all asking: because we are here for the people, I checked on “no rulys when you’re drinking trulys”. I regret to inform you that this, too, doesn’t apply in Portland. There are still “rulys” regardless. And rules. And laws. Etc. Oh! And we still aren’t Portland, Oregon PD
- Please don’t tell your kids: “they’ll arrest you if you don’t listen to me”. Not true. There’s no law that outlines the rules of a three year olds relationship with their parents. Nor do I have small enough handcuffs. We want to be someone they can ask for help, not the enemy.
- Portland Police arrested 18 protesters late this afternoon on Commercial Street at Pearl, charging them with obstructing a public way. A press release will be distributed on Thursday morning after all of the booking is completed.
- If there are barricades, yes, the road is closed. If there’s a small river forming on a street, don’t attempt to drive through it— your civic is not a canoe. Finally, please don’t swim in the road. There will be no lifeguards on duty. I think that about covers it.
- BREAKING: We are currently looking for last seasons version of Red Sox pitcher, Chris Sale. We have reason to believe an imposter is on the mound so far this season. If you have any leads on how we can get him back, please let us know—or reach out to @bostonpolice.
- A reminder: we are the Portland MAINE police department. We are not in Oregon and can not assist you with issues that are happening (or happened) there
- I love Maine. I love Mainers. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
- We are ready to give out the #1 tip for avoiding a car accident during a snow storm....DONT DRIVE IN A SNOW STORM. Shhhh, don’t tell; it’s our little secret. Be safe in what you do tonight, Portland.
- The heart bandit struck again! If you know who he or she is don’t call the police just keep it a secret and let those close to you know how much you care about them especially today!#HappyValentinesDay
- We will be giving special attention to places of worship today due to the tragic events that occurred yesterday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the the Jewish community and anyone effected. Be assured that your right to worship in peace is important to us here in Portland.
- Please don’t leave your dogs in the car if it’s hot out. Please don’t leave your children in the car if it’s hot out. I feel like the second one should be a given, but alas, here I am reminding you. “Its only going to be a minute” won’t cut it.
