New Effington Police Department

New Effington Police Department serves New Effington, SD. On November 5, 1901 the voters in the Roberts County voted in favor of issuing bonds in the sum of forty-thousand dollars for the purpose of erecting a courthouse and jail. The auditor and treasurer actually moved into the courthouse in January, 1903. Sisseton had just completed bringing water in from the spring so the courthouse had water pressure. Sewage was taken care of by a large septic tank buried in the southwest corner of the block until the city sewer system was developed about 15 year later. The jail in the basement of the courthouse was completed by April 8, 1903. Presently, the County built a $7,000,000 Jail/Juvenile Detention Center which opened in April of 2008. Dial 911 for emergencies.
