On its Facebook page, the Suffield Police Department stated, “Town Ordinance 11-31 et. al. requires that solicitors obtain a permit from the Chief of Police. The applicants undergo a background check prior to the issuance. Town Ordinance requires that each solicitor obtain their own permit (no permits are issued in a company name). They are required to carry the permit and may go door to door between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
