Stalking

Stalking is a very in-depth and complex subject, my aim is

to give you as much of an insight in to it as possible.

After studying the different aspects of this lesson I know it

will enable you to present yourself to potential clients

armed with the relevant expertise and knowledge to

undertake Protective services relating to Stalking and

Threat Assessments.

Stalking

Stalking and Threat Assessments are the two major growth

areas within the VIP Protection and Security industries.

I am convinced that once you fully understand this in-depth

subject you will quickly realise that in the European arena it is

virtually an untapped market.

No-body will be better placed that a professionally trained

EPO to take on such a unique opportunity.


4

Why the lesson in Celebrity VIP Stalking

As an Executive VIP Protection officer you need to have a real

understanding of all potential threats to your client.

Remember this has been described as “the newest most

fashionable crime.”

As an EPO you are likely to be the front line operative who is

tasked with dealing and managing the crime of Stalking.


5


It will also add another specialist subject to your Curriculum

Vitae, which in turn opens up many new doors for you as an EPO.

Also because it has only just been designated as a crime in the

UK.

This means that all of the knowledge within this lesson is brand

new State of the Art so to speak.


6


This means that if you require any up to date or ‘Mission Specific’

information on Stalking, Harassment and Threat Assessment you

have to physically travel over to the USA and train with one of

only three or four of the more specialised Law Enforcement

Agencies.

One of the greatest authorities in the world on Stalking runs his

own company in the USA. This person reputedly charges his

clients approx. £220 per hour!!!


7

What is Stalking?


8

What is Stalking?

It may be motivated by an intense affection for, or an extreme dislike

toward a person.

Stalking usually takes the form of annoying, threatening or obscene

telephone calls or letters.

The calls or letters may start with one or two a day, but can quickly

escalate.

Stalkers will spy on their victims & follow every move they make.

Victims homes may even be staked out.


9

Who Can Be Stalked?

It can happen to anyone.

Stalkers don’t just target their victims, but also their victim’s

families, friends and others who know them.

Victims can be stalked for several days, weeks or even years.

A statistically small but visible number of stalking victims are

celebrities.


10

Who can be Stalked?

Amongst the most documented are John Lennon,

Jodie Foster, Rebecca Shaffer & a many others.

Based in L.A. a recognised expert on stalking who

deals with celebrity cases, has a collection of over

300,000 letters or gifts given to stalking victims.

These gifts range from half eaten chocolate bars to

various body parts.


11

Who Can Be Stalked?

Victims can be casual acquaintances or random targets.

Through constant harassment, stalkers have succeeded in

making themselves the focal point of their victim’s lives.

Victim’s lives can become a nightmare, with the victims often

becoming virtual prisoners in their own homes.


12

Who Can Be Stalked?

The majority of stalking takes place between people who

have known each other intimately.

Domestic violence stalkers, as a category, constitute the most

dangerous and potentially lethal group of stalkers.

These types of stalkers often delude themselves in to

believing that their victims belong to them and are theirs to

control.


13

Who Can Be Stalked?

They may feel justified in punishing their victims if they try to

escape.

These abusers often rationalise their inappropriate behaviour

by blaming the victim.

Leaving an abusive relationship requires care in planning and

execution.

Personnel at domestic violence shelters and victims assistance

groups can be of tremendous help in working out the details.


14

Who Can Be Stalked?

If you or your client is a victim then remember that nobody

deserves to be stalked or battered in any relationship.

So whether victims may be stalked by former lovers, co-

workers or strangers, they need to play it safe and protect

themselves, their families, friends and co-workers.

Loss of Hope

If it gets to the loss of hope

stage murder-suicide’s are

inevitable.


Stalkers Biggest Fears

REJECTION

Whether perceived or actual

is the worst possible thing

that can happen to a stalker.

DENIAL

I.e. this can not be happening

to me.


26

Stalking Warnings

Take it Serious.

Hallmark of domestic violence, I.e. “if I can’t have you then

nobody will.”

Victims have to be assertive to the stalker, I.e. NO, NO, NO.

As VIP protection officers you need to be aware of a new

category of stalker, I.e. the Religious Stalker.


27

Stalking Warnings

My colleague was the protection officer for a very high profile

singer who featured in a famous movie about a Bodyguard.

A male American stalker was arrested outside her property in a

blacked out van.

Inside was enough ordinance to start a low-intensity war as well

as 2 pit bull terrier dogs.

Fortunately he was arrested and incarcerated but prisoners get

released...


Stalking Warnings

Stalking is the crime of the future

so take time out to learn as much

as you can.

Start compiling your own

intelligence & research file from

press cuttings.

Stalking, ‘The Newest Most

Fashionable Crime’

Expertise is in short supply,

capitalise NOW!!!


29

IF YOU, OR ONE OF YOUR CLIENTS IS A VICTIM

Try to avoid all personal contact.

Treat all stalkers as if they are extremely dangerous and

stay away from them.

Should they confront you, take care to avoid any actions or

words, which might anger them.

Don’t get drawn into any discussions.

Get away from them as soon as you can safely do so and

contact the police. © 2013 [email protected]

30


Don’t let personal information be released.

Inform all personal friends, family members, co-workers and

children not to release personal information about you, your

address and phone numbers to others.

Remove identification.

Remove home address on personal cheques & business cards.

Get a PO box and limit access to your address.


31


Inform people.

Let everyone around you know what’s going on.

Describe the threatening person to them, however

photographs work better.

Describe their vehicle and give the licence plate number to

family members, neighbours, co-workers, school officials,

secretaries, receptionists, and police.


32


Inform people at work.

Notify your supervisors, security staff if you have any, and

your office receptionist.

Let them know about your situation.

Give them information on the suspect.

If you have a temporary restraining order leave a copy of it

at work with either your security staff or receptionist.


33


Get identification.

Use the caller ID and call trace systems to record all calls,

which lets you know the telephone number of the person

calling you.

Keep tapes of calls from the stalker recorded on your answer

phone machine.

Contact your local Telephone Company and local police

about this situation.


34

WHAT TO DO….

Keep records of all stalking / harassing behaviour.

Keep a diary and chronologically list all activities as they occur.

Remember that not only you but also your local Law

Enforcement agency must look at the totality of the

circumstances and not just one single incident.


35

WHAT TO DO….

Keep accurate dates, times and locations of where events

took place, items received and names of any witnesses.

Keep all copies of letters, and all packaging.

Touch only the extreme edges since fingerprints, saliva, and

other evidence may be present.

Enclose all letters, gifts, envelopes and packaging materials in

a large brown paper bag,

Contact police and hand over this evidence to them.


36

WHAT TO DO….

Remember that a threat doesn’t require words.

A hand that is pointed at you in the shape of a gun conveys a

message that is loud and clear.

A bouquet of black roses delivered to your office, a dead

animal received in the mail, or a photograph with your

image crossed out, can also send the same message.


37

INCIDENT TYPES

These activities have been associated with stalking /

harassment. Their presence should lead to specialised

assessment & actions.

The following list is just a sample of the

possible types of stalking or harassment...

Watching or following.

Approaching a victim.


38

INCIDENT TYPES

Drive-bys.

Threatening phone calls or hang-ups.

Sending or delivering hate mail.

Sending or delivering love notes.

Electronic stalking using a modem, fax etc. to deliver a message.

Vandalising a vehicle or home, generally something a victim uses

every day


39

Report number

Incident location home, work, school, car, other

Witness information i.e. Name address & tel. Number


Conclusion

Anti-Stalking measures work on the

same principal as every other

aspect of Executive VIP Protection.

Avoidance reigns over confrontation

every time.

The key to successful Anti-Stalking

measures is a Professional threat

assessment.
