I am receiving harassing telephone calls at my home or work. What should I do?
Make a police report with the department. At that time, you will be provided with a police report number and referred to the annoyance bureau of your phone company.

With the report number, the phone company will initiate a trap/trace on your land line phone for a set period of time, and the results will be forwarded to the Police Department upon completion. Cellular phone related matters should be referred to your provider.

To aid prosecution, keep a notepad by your phone to record the days and times the harassing calls occur so the phone company or prosecutor can match the offender's phone number to the tap records.
