Welcome to Maine Scanner, your super-simple source for real-time updates on local events, scanner incidents, and community happenings across Maine. We’re a simple site built for simple needs—delivering timely info to residents, visitors, and anyone, wondering "what's going down the road", in towns like Millinocket, Sanford, and beyond.
Anyone Can Contribute
We believe in the power of community. Anyone can post updates—whether it’s a scanner report, event announcement, or local news—as long as it’s relevant to Maine. We encourage any Mainer to add updates to help them get hired at a job, sell something, or promote a local event/website.
Source Matters
To ensure accuracy and trustworthiness, we highly recommend including a source with every post (e.g., “Heard on Portland PD scanner” or “Announced by Knife Edge Brewing”). Every update we’ve shared so far has been sourced, and we encourage contributors to follow suit. If no source is provided, we may verify or remove the post to maintain quality.
Our Mission
Maine Scanner aims to be a reliable, no-frills hub. We cover Penobscot, Androscoggin, and all Maine counties, offering a niche alternative to broader platforms like Craigslist. Our focus is on local relevance, from unique maine events to breaking scanner alerts. Basically, a place to look real quick without scrolling through facebook.

Team
While we’re a community-driven site, posts are monitored by a small team of Maine enthusiasts (e.g., Ian, a Millinocket local with a passion for community events). We’re not experts, but we’re dedicated to keeping this site useful and accurate.
Reporting
As we grow, we are going to continue to give people the control to have all content moderated by a real human being. In the meantime, we will use the voting system to hide things, or you can directly contact us. More reporting features are going to continue to be added as we fully grasp peoples intents.
