VASSALBORO, Maine Law enforcement and civilians were honored at the annual Maine State Police awards ceremony, held on Wednesday at the Maine Criminal Justice Academy in Vassalboro.
According to State Police, the ceremony is held to recognize past and present members of the Maine State Police, both civilian and sworn members, and citizens of Maine who have gone above and beyond what is expected of them.

VASSALBORO When he saw the stopped vehicle along Interstate 295 one day last November and approached the driver, Trooper Connor Willard knew something was not right. Behind the wheel sat a young man in distress.
“Usually the first words out of my mouth are, ‘hi, I’m Connor, are you all set? Are you OK?,’ ” Willard said.
No, the driver said. He was
not OK. So Willard, 27, invited the man into his Maine State Police cruiser, and for 45 minutes they talked about life, family and relationships.
The interaction did not register for Willard as extraordinary. “We all do it. We all do it every day,” Willard said.
