If You Are Being Stalked

• If you haven't kept notes, start now. Write down what you remember and ask others you trust to do the same.
• Write down the time, date and place of every contact or event with the stalker. Note what happened and your reactions to it, beginning with the first incident. Even if an event seems trivial, or unrelated, write it down as it may help show a pattern of criminal harassment.
• Copy and save any messages left on your answering machine, and make notes of times when you answered the phone and the other person either hung-up or didn't speak.
• Keep your record book handy, make a copy of it and keep the copy in a safe place, outside of your home. Keep any notes, letters or parcels sent by the stalker. Good records are very important for investigation and prosecution.
