Call Trace

When you are serious about prosecuting an offender, Call Trace lets you automatically trace an obscene or threatening phone call and delivers the number to local law enforcement. If the caller has violated South Dakota codified law 49-31-31 and if you decide to make a complaint the police may use the trace as evidence.

NOTE: Every time you complete a call trace, you will be charged, whether or not you follow up with authorities. The traced number will only be delivered to law enforcement.
