Deputy Sampson assisting a childPlease come and support the Dennis P. Sampson Community Run/Walk 5K on Heritage Day - Sunday, September 18, 2022 at the Poland Spring Inn.

This race is in honor of Poland Deputy Dennis P. Sampson, who unexpectedly passed away on May 5, 2018. Deputy Sampson not only patrolled our town, but was also a long-time resident and he took much pride in his community. He touched many lives in Poland and the surrounding towns and his presence is greatly missed. He left behind his wife, Celeste, son Jeremy, many family members, friends, and colleagues. Dennis spent a lot of time in our schools and helped many of the students, staff and families of RSU 16.

Funds raised will go to first responders, medical field, and/or counseling field.
