Harassment
Phone Calls or Other Repeated Communication with the Intent to Annoy or Alarm
- If you speak to the caller, tell him/her not to call again and hang up. Do not try to engage them in conversation.
- Dial *57 immediately after a phone call to activate "Call Trace". This marks the last call received so it must be done immediately after the harassing call.
- Keep messages left on answering machines and voice mail, the Police Department will make a copy of the messages.
- Keep a log of all harassing calls, including the date and time and any conversation. If you have Caller-ID, also list the phone number.
- Complete a written statement as to the facts of the case.
