Missing-Child Resource Guide

South Dakota Missing Children Resources

South Dakota Division of Criminal Investigation and other agencies join forces when a child is reported missing in South Dakota. The South Dakota Missing Children Clearinghouse has a vast amount of information on abduction and plays an important role by providing resources for citizens and law enforcement agencies to assist in the recovery of children who go missing from South Dakota. The South Dakota Child Amber Alert program quickly notifies all South Dakota law enforcement and all South Dakota media as soon as possible after a child has been abducted. This will enable citizens to recognize the child, the suspect or the vehicle used in the abduction and call law enforcement immediately. The South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Enforcement Unit provides public education about the dangers of the Internet, investigates Internet based child exploitation crimes, and provides computer forensics expertise to other law enforcement agencies. Parents can find guidelines to prevent internet crimes against their children. Family members can download information for those who have experienced a family abduction, learn about the laws that will help them, prevention methods, and suggestions for aftercare following the abduction.
