I have received several harassing telephone calls lately. I know who is doing it or I want it to stop. What can I do?
An officer can begin a preliminary report and refer it the Criminal Investigator. After the initial report is completed you can provide the report number to the phone company and request a trace or trap. You can sign a waiver to allow the investigator to access your phone records. You must successfully document the phone calls. Caller ID is not the same thing as tracing a call. If you have a Caller ID box, you still must work with the telephone company to trace the calls. Caller ID is not admissible in court.
