After over five years on the job, Shannon Moss will soon be leaving her position as the spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety.

According to a press release sent out by Moss on Wednesday afternoon, her last day in the position will be on Thursday, October 29th.

Beginning Friday, October 30, Major Aaron Turcotte will take over as interim Public Information Officer while the department searches for a permanent replacement.

In March of 2021, Moss took over the position from Steve McCausland.
