What do I need to know about harassing phone call complaints?

If you receive phone calls that you feel are harassing, annoying, or threatening to you and would like to have the calls traced, you must contact the police department first and file a report. The dispatcher will give you a report number that you will need when you file the report with the phone company. The phone company requires filing of a police report before they will put a trace on your phone line. If you have Verizon telephone service, you can contact their Unlawful Call Center at 1-800-518-5507.
