I want to file an intimidation criminal complaint, but I'm afraid of retaliation.

You are currently in a situation where you are repeatedly receiving threatening remarks.

Since you actually feel threatened, active response is needed.

The police implement personal protection for people at risk of harm to their lives or bodies through certain reviews and procedures.

Accordingly, victims like you who may be subjected to retaliation due to an intimidation criminal complaint can request personal protection.

If the case has already been received after reporting to the police, you can fill out a 'Personal Protection Application Form' after consulting with the case manager.

On the other hand, if there is no ongoing case, you can visit a nearby police station civil service office or local police station and submit the application form.

Based on the received application form, the case management department or the personal protection review committee conducts a review.

Through this, the decision on personal protection is made, and the police can take the following protective measures by judging the level of risk to the victim

- Strengthening patrols around the residence
- Personal protection
- Temporary shelter support if necessary
- Connection to professional protection facilities

In addition to such institutional protection, you may consider using security services.

In particular, if there is a risk that the threatener may actually act, or if they know the victim's movements, requesting personal protection from a professional bodyguard when filing an intimidation criminal complaint may be a good method.
