preparedness, response time and recovery.

The Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate’s anonymous crime tip hotline is safe, secure and effective – but far too underutilized. We encourage the Oyate to jot this number down, 605-742-0088. We hope that those who have always wanted to do the right thing, but have not spoken up for fear of reprisal, will help the Tribal Police to obtain information on situations that are happening out on the Reservation. The Tribal Police Department needs information. They need help to reduce the crime rate in our community. If you won’t talk directly to the police, please tell us what you know by calling 605-742-0088 and leave your information on this hotline. It would be greatly appreciated. You are not right to remain silent. Fight crime 100% anonymously. For yourself. For your Oyate.
