january 2026 is national stalking awareness month

WHAT IS STALKING? While legal definitions of stalking vary between jurisdictions, a good working definition of stalking is: a pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety or the safety of others or suffer substantial emotional distress.

An estimated 13.5 million people are stalked in a one-year period in the United States.

• Nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men have experienced stalking victimization at some point in their lifetime.

• More than half of all victims of stalking indicated that they were stalked before the age of 25, and nearly 1 in 4 were stalked before the age of 18.

IF YOU THINK YOU ARE A VICTIM OF STALKING CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR HELP.

ABOUT US

Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama offers cash rewards for tips that lead to the arrest or charge of felony offenders. Our tipsters remain ANONYMOUS. We do not have caller ID, and IP addresses from tips submitted via the internet are rerouted outside the Unites States and are irretrievable.

Offering cash rewards is a proven way of getting the information law enforcement needs to solve crimes and locate wanted criminals, but the real value of our program is that it gives citizens an opportunity to help make the communities where they live and work safer.

Crime Stoppers of Metro Alabama is not a law enforcement agency, but it works closely with law enforcement throughout Central and North Alabama.

With your help we can work together to make a difference.
