The immigration ordinance and order items scheduled for the December agenda of Rockland City Council have been postponed to January.

Rockland Police Chief Tim Carroll made the request during the Dec. 1, 2025 Agenda Setting meeting. Carroll feels strongly about being part of the ordinance/order discussion, but will be out of town at the time of the Dec. 8 regular Council meeting.

"I know there is a lot of anxiety around this topic," said Carroll. "I feel that it's absolutely necessary that I'm here and a part of the discussion when it happens."

Carroll will be representing Maine at the FBI National Academy, in Maryland, which he also attended in 2017. Carroll has been chosen by the state to be the vice president for the New England Chapter, which is a five-year commitment and an opportunity to work his way up to president of the chapter.

All five councilors congratulated Carroll on this professional achievement.
