Thank you Pine Ridge Police Department for this reminder for our residents.

🚪🛎️ DING DONG… YOUR UNINVITED SALESPERSON IS BACK! 🛎️🚪

We’ve received reports of door-to-door salespeople making their way through neighborhoods in Pine Ridge.

Whether they’re selling pest control, internet, solar panels, security systems, or the latest “deal you can’t pass up,” here’s a friendly reminder…

🚫 Door-to-door peddling is illegal within the Town of Pine Ridge unless the individual has a valid Town issued peddler’s permit. ( which is only good for three days)

Here’s what you should know:

📜 Ask to see their permit. They should have it with them and be able to present it upon request.

🏡 You are never obligated to answer the door. If you’re not interested, it’s perfectly okay to ignore the knock or politely decline.

⏳ Peddler permits don’t happen overnight. They require an application, fee, and processing time—so “I just started today” isn’t a valid excuse for not having one.

📞 If someone is going door-to-door without a permit, give us a call at our non-emergency number: 803-785-2521.
If you ever feel threatened or unsafe, call 911 immediately.

Thank you Pine Ridge Police Department for all you do for our town.

🚨Introducing Our Autism Safety Initiative 🚨

The Pine Ridge Police Department is proud to offer Occupant with Autism vehicle/home window decals as part of our Autism Safety Initiative.

After seeing the tremendous response to similar programs launched by the Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office and Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department, Chief Neeley knew this was something he wanted to offer Pine Ridge residents.

These decals can provide officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other first responders and the public with an immediate visual notification that an autistic person may be in the vehicle or in the home.
Every individual with autism is unique, and some may experience sensory sensitivities, communication differences, or react differently during stressful situations.
This decal can help first responders recognize those possibilities so they can approach interactions with greater understanding, patience, and awareness.

Our goal is simple—to try to help create safer, more positive interactions between first responders, members of the community and individuals with autism.

If you would like a window decal for your vehicle or home, please stop by the Pine Ridge Police Department. One decal per household.

To receive a decal, we ask that you bring documentation (drivers license - showing you are a resident of the Town of Pine Ridge. We would also love the opportunity to meet your loved one with autism, so we may introduce ourselves in a calm, welcoming environment (if) and before an emergency ever occurs.

Building relationships before they’re needed helps us better serve our community, and we’re committed to making Pine Ridge a place where every resident feels safe, understood, and supported.

💙 Together, we’re building a safer community—one conversation at a time.
