S.D. Admin. R. 64:29:03:10
A federal, state, or local law enforcement or criminal investigative agency desiring license plates whose ownership is kept confidential may apply to the Division of Motor Vehicles on a form provided by the division. Such license plates may only be placed on unmarked vehicles used by the agency for crime detection.
The division shall issue regular license plates to the agency and shall maintain the confidentiality of the license plate numbers by not listing them in the division's computer registration files as belonging to the agency owning the vehicle. The division shall immediately notify the agency that owns the vehicle if it receives an inquiry regarding one of the confidential license plate numbers.
When an agency no longer needs a set of confidential license plates, the agency shall return the plates to the division.
