Help The Police To Help You

• If you're at all concerned, contact the police and let them know what's going on.
• Keep a diary. Record details of what's happened, where and when, every time you are followed, phoned, receive post or e-mails, etc. Record events while they are still fresh in your mind. 
• The more details you have the better, how the offender looked or sounded, what they were wearing, the make, colour and number plate of their car etc.  It's also important to document how what happened made you feel. 
• Keep letters and parcels as evidence. Even if they contain frightening or upsetting messages, do not throw them away and handle them as little as possible.
• If you recognise the handwriting, you can keep letters or parcels as evidence without having to open them. They can be passed directly to the police.
• Keep copies of e-mails on disk and print out hard copies, do not delete the original.
• Record telephone conversations if you can and keep the tape.
• Make sure you keep any stored messages (including text messages) or telephone numbers that you have received on your mobile phone and caller ID units.
• If possible, get photographic or video evidence of your stalker (especially if they are someone already warned by the police or courts not to come near you).
