Welcome to the Pleasant Point Warden Service
Under the newly consolidated Public Safety Department, the Passamaquoddy Tribe at the Pleasant Point Reservation will administer the Fish and Game Warden program. The wardens specialize in Tribal, State, and Federal inland fisheries and wildlife law enforcement, including: boating, snowmobile, dog, and environmental laws as well as search and rescue, fire prevention and suppression work, and assisting other governmental agencies. The Warden Service at Pleasant Point works in concert with the Passamaquoddy Warden Service at Indian Township and works cooperatively with all other State and Federal fish and wildlife agencies.
The tribal wardens are uniformed law enforcement officers. Their primary responsibility is fish and game conservation enforcement on the tribal trust and reservation lands. The game wardens work in conjunction with the tribal game wardens at Indian Township and closely with the Tribal Clerk. The clerk issues tribal and state hunting, trapping, and fishing licenses and permits. The Tribal Wardens at Pleasant Point are under the administrative supervision of the Pleasant Point Public Safety Director.

Regulation of fish and wildlife within Passamaquoddy Indian Territory.
The Passamaquoddy Tribe has the exclusive authority within Passamaquoddy Indian territory to promulgate and enact ordinances regulating hunting, trapping, or other taking of wildlife and taking of fish on any pond in which all the shoreline and all submerged lands are wholly within Indian territory and which is less than 10 acres in surface area.
The tribal fish and wildlife ordinances are equally applicable, on a non-discriminatory basis, to all persons regardless of whether such person is a member of the tribe; however, the ordinances do include special provisions for the sustenance of the individual members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe and for ceremonial use.
In addition, the Passamaquoddy Tribe maintains the right to exercise within Indian territory all the rights incident to land ownership under the state's laws.
The Passamaquoddy Tribe has established and maintained registration stations for the purpose of registering bears, moose, deer, and other wildlife killed within Indian territory and has adopted ordinances requiring registration of such wildlife to the extent and in substantially the same manner as such wildlife are required to be registered under the laws of the State. (Contact the tribal warden service to find the location of registration stations.) The ordinances requiring registration equally apply to all persons without distinction based on tribal membership.
Members of the Passamaquoddy Tribe may take fish, within the boundaries of the Indian reservation, for their sustenance.
Fish and wildlife lawfully taken within Indian territory and registered according to ordinances adopted by the Passamaquoddy Tribe may be transported within the State.

When To Call 911 And When Not To Call 911
Knowing when to call 911. An emergency is any situation that requires immediate assistance from the police, fire department, or ambulance.
Examples include:
• A fire
• A crime, especially if in progress
• A car crash, especially if someone is injured
• A medical emergency, especially symptoms that require immediate medical attention.
If you’re unsure whether the situation is a true emergency, officials recommend calling 911 and letting the call-taker determine whether you need emergency help. If you do call 911, be prepared to answer the call-taker's questions, which may include:
• The location of the emergency, including the street address
• The phone number you are calling from
• The nature of the emergency
• Details about the emergency include a physical description of a person who may have committed a crime, a description of any fire that may be burning, or a description of injuries or symptoms experienced by a person having a medical emergency.
Remember, the call-taker’s questions are essential to quickly get you the right help. Be prepared to follow any instructions the call-taker gives you. Many 911 centers can tell you precisely what to do until help arrives, such as providing step-by-step instructions for someone choking or needing first aid or CPR. Do not hang up until the call-taker instructs you to.
If you dial 911 by mistake, or if a child in your home dials 911 when no emergency exists, do not hang up—that could make 911 officials think that an emergency exists and possibly send responders to your location. Instead, explain what happened to the call-taker.
Be sure all children in your home know what 911 is, how to dial from your home and cell phone, and how to trust the 911 call taker. Make sure your child is physically able to reach at least one phone in your home. When calling 911, your child needs to know their name, parent’s name, telephone number, and most importantly, their address. Tell them to answer all the call takers' questions and to stay on the phone until instructed to hang up.
Any situations other than those described above should be considered non-emergency and handled without calling 911.
Call our Department at 207 853-6100 for Non-Emergencies. When our Officer is not at the station, or if our phone lines are busy, call the Washington County Communications Center (Dispatch) at 1 800 432-7303 to make a non-emergency request for police assistance or if you need to
speak with an on-duty police officer.
Thank you for being so cooperative.
