What is stalking?
January is National Stalking Awareness Month
Stalking happens in communities across the country, and chances are you know someone who has been stalked. Being someone who takes stalking seriously and is willing to help can make a difference.
Stalking is a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear or alter their everyday activities. The unwanted behaviors can consist of texts, phone calls, emails, social media posts, following someone, spying on someone, leaving unwanted gifts for someone or any combination.
Stalking is against the law in all 50 states and violates ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder’s policies.
