TEXT IN ILLEGAL DRUG USE
You have the power to stand up to drug crime. Report any illegal drug use in your
community by anonymously texting your local Law Enforcement.
Your identity is 100 percent protected. By reporting drug users, you are helping to
save their lives and keep our community safe.
Project Standup operates as an anonymous drug tip line, that asks persons with
information about illegal drug activity to text the word 'DRUGS' to 82257. You will
then be asked a series of questions to obtain more information. Once you submit
your anonymous text, the message will be forwarded immediately to
the appropriate Law Enforcement Agency in your area.

If Law
Enforcement is summoned to a domestic violence call, several statutes apply (see SDCL 25-10-36). If Law
Enforcement has probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed, the
officer is required to arrest the person who is suspected of committing the
crime.
The officer shall arrest the person whom he/she believes to be the predominant aggressor. The person arrested for domestic abuse may not be released from jail until he has gone before a judge who will determine bond and other conditions of release that are necessary for the protection of the victim. Under SDCL 25-10-23 a person charged with an assault involving domestic violence and a bond is authorized, a condition of No Contact with the victim SHALL be stated and incorporated into the terms of the bond. A violation of the No Contact Order is a class 1 misdemeanor. Any violation of a No Contact Order should be reported to Law Enforcement immediately. For more information, see SDCL 25-10-23, 25-10-41 AND 22-19A-17.
Protection Orders
A Protection Order is a legal document signed by a judge prohibiting a person from contacting the petitioner. There are two types of Protection Orders available in South Dakota – a Protection Order for Domestic Abuse and a Protection Order for Stalking or From Physical Harm. A violation of a Protection Order is a Class I misdemeanor. Protection Orders are civil matters, but a criminal charge results when a Protection Order is violated. Any violation of a protection order should be reported to Law Enforcement immediately.
