Safety Plan for Victims of Stalking
Do not attempt to negotiate with a stalker, avoid contact or communication!
- Telling a stalker ten times to leave you alone is nine times to many, be consistent.
- If you have an order of protection, carry it with you at all times, keep extra copies!
- IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY, CALL 911!
- If you think you are being stalked, call the police. Make sure each incident is reported to the police, keep the complaint number and obtain a copy of the report.
- Allow calling id or the voice mail to screen all of your phone calls and save the messages. Save any letter, packages or gift from the stalker for evidence.
- Vary your routes to and from work or school. Inform your building, office or campus security guards that someone is stalking you. Travel with a companion whenever possible.
- Keep your windows and doors locked securely at home and in your car.
- Install deadbolts and chain locks, have your locks changed and keep extra keys. If possible, install a motion sensor light and an alarm system. Keep lights and a radio on at different times. Don't sleep near a window and keep your shades drawn.
- Tell trusted family members, friends and neighbors that you are being stalked. Provide them with a photo and description of the stalker and any vehicle they may drive.
- Get an unlisted phone number or a phone number in someone else’s name.
- If you feel that you are being followed, drive to a police or fire station. If the stalker does not know where you live, do not drive home.
- Install wide-angle viewers or cameras and positively identify all visitors before opening your door.
- Visually check front and rear passenger compartments before entering your vehicle, check your tires and vehicle for damage. Always park in well-lit areas.
- If you have any children, notify their schools of the situation, provide a photo and description.
- Utilize anonymous call reject or call blocking. Notify the Annoyance Call Bureau of harassing phone calls. After you file a police report, you may be eligible for a call trace.
