By Dr. Mark D. Yates
Taken from the syllabus of the Law
Enforcement &Bodyguard
Association International LEBAI

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.

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.



 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.



 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!!!

What is Stalking?


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

nobody will.”

singer who featured in a famous movie about a Bodyguard.

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.


 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.



 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.



 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.



 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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.

every day

 Officer name, ID or shield number

 Report number

 Incident location home, work, school, car, other

Conclusion
 Anti-Stalking measures work on the
same principal as every other
aspect of Executive VIP Protection.

confrontation every time.

measures is a Professional threat
assessment.
