Sheriffâs Office announces two promotions
ELLSWORTH â Hancock County Sheriff Scott Kane announced the promotion of two patrol deputies on May 4.
Kane made the announcement at the Hancock County Commissioners meeting, which was held online because of the pandemic.
Deputy Dan Harlan has been promoted to patrol sergeant.
âDan started as a corrections officer here,â Kane said. Harlan wanted to work in law enforcement but there was no opening, so he went to work for the Bucksport Police Department for a few years before coming back to the county to work as a deputy.
âHeâs just an outstanding leader,â Kane said.
McFarland is named Deputy of the Year
