Cape Elizabeth Police Department is pleased to announce that Daryen Granata will become our new Harbormaster effective this week. 

Cape Elizabeth PD currently contracts with Scarborough PD for our harbormaster. Daryen comes to our department with an extensive background in public safety and marine resources. Daryen began serving in 1995 on active duty with the US Coast Guard for four years and continued to serve for another four years in a reserve capacity stationed at the South Portland Station. He was primarily assigned as both Search and Rescue and Law Enforcement.

In 1999, Daryen began his law enforcement career in the City of Biddeford as a police officer and marine enforcement officer. In 2002 he went to the State of Maine with the Maine Marine Patrol achieving the rank of sergeant where he served until 2011. Since 2011, Daryen has served as a patrol officer & detective with the Saco Police Department, a criminal fraud investigator for Maine DHHS and a Fire Inspector for the Maine Fire Marshal's Office.  Daryen has served in a part-time capacity with the Buxton Police Department since 2007 and also part-time as a Firefighter/EMT/Captain for the Scarborough Fire Department since 1998.

We are excited to have Daryen join our team. He brings to us his tremendous work ethic, vast experience in the field and the proven ability to build relationships within public safety agencies and with stakeholders tied to the commercial fishing industry. 

Congratulations Daryen and welcome to Cape Elizabeth PD!
