The Maine Warden Service  recently graduated seven new wardens at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in Vassalboro. The new wardens completed an extensive 12-week advanced academy specifically for Maine’s game wardens which followed the 18-week Basic Law Enforcement Training Program (BLETP) required of all full-time Maine police officers. Pictured, from left, are the new wardens and their areas of assignment: Chad Robertson (Skowhegan), Kyle Hladik (Chamberlain), Joshua Beal (Houlton), Cody Lounder (Biddeford), Joseph Bailey (Passadumkeag), Joshua Polland (Jackman) and Warden Pilot Jeffrey Beach  (southern Maine).
