WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Susan Collins released the following statement on the nomination of David St. Pierre, who served as Chief of Police for the City of Lewiston, to be the U.S. Marshal for the District of Maine. Chief St. Pierre’s nomination requires confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
“I strongly support David St. Pierre’s nomination to serve as U.S. Marshal for the District of Maine. Chief St. Pierre has dedicated more than three decades to protecting the people of Lewiston and strengthening partnerships across local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. His steady leadership during the most challenging moment in Maine’s recent history, the tragic mass shooting of 2023, demonstrated his professionalism, composure, and deep commitment to both public safety and public service. With his extensive experience and unique skill set, I am confident that Chief St. Pierre will serve the people of Maine admirably as U.S. Marshal.”

Chief St. Pierre served with the Lewiston Police Department for more than thirty years and was the city’s Chief of Police from 2021 until his retirement from the Department last month. As Chief, he oversaw a department of ninety-nine employees and managed a budget exceeding $10 million. Over the course of his career, he has held law enforcement positions ranging from patrol officer to State Drug Agent, Detective Sergeant, and Patrol Lieutenant, gaining broad experience in criminal investigations, internal affairs, and interagency coordination.
Chief St. Pierre played a central leadership role in coordinating the hundreds of local, state, and federal officers who responded to the deadliest shooting in Maine’s history in 2023. He also guided the planning and transition to Lewiston’s new public safety facility, which brings multiple law enforcement agencies together under one roof to strengthen collaboration towards the shared mission to serve and protect the City of Lewiston.
A 2018 graduate of the 271st Session of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, Chief St. Pierre is an active member of the FBI National Academy Associates, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and the Maine Chiefs of Police Association.
As the senior Republican member of Maine’s congressional delegation, Senator Collins continues to advise the Administration as it evaluates candidates for federal positions in Maine.
