Mexico, Maines New Police Partnership: A Cost-Effective Solution - The town of Mexico, Maine, has found a successful alternative to restarting its police department after staffing shortages led to its dissolution. The Oxford County Sheriffs Office has been handling calls for service since July 2025, with three dedicated deputies patrolling the area. This partnership has proven to be cost-effective, saving the town nearly $500,000 compared to restarting its own force. Residents and town leaders are satisfied with the deputies responsiveness and regular patrols, and theres no talk of bringing back the local police. The county is now pushing for a full contract to add a fourth deputy, ensuring the towns safety without straining its budget.
