The Citizens Police Academy is in progress with 13 participants who are learning about many aspects of law enforcement from the the Effingham Police Department during an 8-week course. The Academy offers an opportunity for our residents to gain unique insights into the work of the police department and to closely interact with our officers and staff.

Do I need a permit to go door-to-door to sell items, insurance, electricity plans, or other services?

Yes. A license from the Effingham Police Department is required to do business as an itinerant merchant, solicitor or peddler in the City of Effingham. The only exception to this is a merchant who offers produce which they have grown themselves.
