Thank a police officer

If you see a police officer around town, simply tell them that you appreciate all the work they do, and thank them for keeping you safe. That’s a small gesture that can make a big difference in an officer’s day.

Even just a friendly wave when a police cruiser drives by is a nice way to show you care.

You can also send a thank you note to the Effingham Police Department outlining a few reasons why you value and respect the work they do every day.  You can send a general thank you, or tell us about a great experience you had with specific officers.

There are a few ways you can send a thank you:

  • Fill out the on-line form below
  • Email
  • USPS mail
  • In person
