For women on the job: gender-targeted patterns layered on top of the standard defendant and complainant risks.

Female officers carry the same stalking exposure as any cop: defendants, complainants, and the rare anonymous fixation that traces back to a prior case. Layered on top is a gender-targeted pattern that hits women differently.
Some of it comes from the public: a defendant whose fixation runs sexual instead of vengeful, a man you arrested who decides he's owed something. Some of it comes from inside the agency. Stalking by sworn personnel against female colleagues is documented in IACP and DOJ research. It does not get talked about much, but it happens.
What's at stake
The same things that are at stake for any officer: surveillance, vandalism, contact, physical confrontation. Plus the obvious problem that an inside-the-agency stalker may already know your shift, your assignment, and the car you drive.
Brokers fill in what they don't already have: your home address, your spouse's name and workplace, your parents two streets over, and where you moved after your last address change.
What to do right now
If the stalker is inside the agency, the documentation matters more than the report. Work the ex-partner-stalking playbook. It covers the documentation cadence and the escalation paths whether the stalker is a former partner or a current colleague. Save messages, screenshots, witness names, and dates. Decide on your terms whether to escalate to internal affairs, an outside agency, or counsel. The paper trail is what makes any of those options work later.

How we handle it
We file the opt-outs and we file them again when you reappear. Prior addresses get the same treatment, since brokers maintain decades of address history.
The household runs through the same removal queue. Spouse, parents, adult kids if they're listed as relatives on broker pages. The brokers link you all; closing one closes the others.
