Attorney, can I also receive personal safety measures?

My ex-boyfriend is repeatedly attempting to contact me, loitering near my house, and making threats. I know that in an emergency I should report to 112, but I am worried that the reporting process may be complicated, and I am afraid of retaliation afterward. I would like to know what would be best to do and also what evidence I should prepare before reporting. Attorney, I would appreciate your answer.

If you are suffering from stalking, prompt reporting and securing evidence are, above all, important.

First, if you immediately report the current situation through a 112 emergency call or the Smart Citizen Report app, and request the police to apply stalking-code management, the initial response will be faster.

In addition, before reporting, it is advisable to secure as much material as possible that can prove the other party's approach or threats, such as text messages, KakaoTalk messages, call records, CCTV footage, and witness statements in advance.

Along with this, if you apply for crime victim safety measures (personal safety measures) through the police station or the competent agency, you can receive protection, including the use of a temporary shelter, support for temporary lodging, and a request for a no-contact order.

Crime victim safety measures are carried out by preparing and submitting a written application through the Women and Juvenile Division of the police station or a department dedicated to victims.

In addition, if you also petition the court for a protective order, stronger measures, such as a no-contact order and separation, can be carried out in parallel, and you may also consider protecting yourself from threats through a separate security service.

Because these procedures require legal requirements and document preparation, it may be wise to seek the help of an experienced attorney specializing in stalking.

If you proceed together with an attorney specializing in stalking, from the reporting stage through to the petition for a protective order, you will be able to respond more safely and reliably.
