You're A Good Man, Larry Brown
BY ISABELLE CURTIS
So, when are you going to retire? That’s a question that seems to crop up with increasing frequency as the years pass, but for Boothbay Harbor police officer Larry Brown, 71, there’s a simple answer: “If you had your dream job, why would you ever retire?”
Brown is a community staple. Whether it's squaring off against a YMCA Dolphin swimmer at the community pool (twice!), helping a high school senior research a piece of local history, or just patrolling the halls of Boothbay Region Elementary and High schools as the local School Resource Officer (SRO).
The Boothbay school system wasn’t Brown's first time as an SRO. After graduating with a bachelor's in law enforcement from Byrant College in his native Rhode Island, Brown moved to Maine to join Lewiston Police Department (LPD). There, he spent almost seven and a half years working as a Juvenile Detective/SRO at Lewiston Junior High School, which served over 800 seventh and eighth graders. As a juvenile detective, Brown primarily investigated complaints of physical and sexual child abuse.
