The University of Maine at Augusta’s Campus Alliance Project recently collaborated with the Maine Chiefs of Police Association to provide training to Maine’s law enforcement community on stalking.
The nationally-recognized Stalking Prevention, Awareness & Resource Center organization provided the training, funded in part by a grant from the Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women.
Stalking is an often under-reported crime. In an effort to raise awareness, UMA through its Campus Alliance Project joined with the Chiefs of Police to bring the nation’s best stalking awareness, prevention, and response training to law enforcement agencies across the state in a two-part online training May 12 and June 8. SPARC produced a customized, comprehensive training
FULTON â January marks the 17th National Stalking Awareness Month, an annual call to action to recognize and respond to the serious crime of stalking.
The Stalking Prevention, Awareness and Resource Center defines stalking as, âA pattern of behavior directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.â
Some of these behaviors might include unwanted contact via phone calls, text messages, and social media, as well as unwanted gifts, showing up unannounced or approaching an individualâs family/friends, monitoring, surveillance, property damage and threats.
The theme for NSAM is âKnow It. Name It. Stop It.,â and this year, SPARC is asking individuals to learn, teach, share, and reflect on stalking in their own communities in an effort to combat harmful stereotypes surrounding stalking through education.
