Police and public safety
Threat, stalking or harassment outside home
Someone threatens, follows, or harasses you outside your home; this needs an immediate police complaint, not only a grievance.
Start here
Call 112 immediately for protection, and file a written complaint at the police station with who is threatening and since when.
Who is responsible
A threat is a crime in itself, and the station can bind the person down in addition to registering the offence, but the complaint must name the person and describe what was said and when. Immediate safety comes from the emergency call, and the case comes from the written complaint, so both are needed rather than one.
