January is National Stalking Awareness Month, where we shine the spotlight brighter on this crime.

Stalking defined:

A pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear. Two or more incidents make a pattern.

These behaviors may include one or more of the following:

• unwanted contact including phone calls/texts
• unwanted contact via social media
• unwanted gifts
• showing up/approaching an individual or their family/friends
• making threats 
• monitoring, surveillance
• property damage
