Stalking of police officers
For sworn officers — known stalkers from prior cases, anonymous stalkers from defendant networks. Same broker pages, different pathways.

Stalking of cops follows two main patterns. The known-stalker pattern: a former defendant, a person you arrested, a complainant who fixated. The anonymous-stalker pattern: someone who knows you through your work but you don't know them — usually traceable, after the fact, to a defendant's network.
Both patterns need the same things: your home address, your spouse's information, your routine. All findable on broker pages — the people-search sites that scrape public records and resell the data to anyone with a credit card.
What's at stake
Surveillance of you and your family. Vandalism. Repeated unwanted contact. Sometimes physical confrontation. The pattern often escalates over months or years before producing a documented incident — by which time the stalker has built a complete file.
For officers, the slow-burn risk is the part most don't anticipate. Cases close. Defendants get released. Memory persists.
What to do right now
If you have an active known stalker, document everything and pursue a protective order through your jurisdiction. Run the criminal-defendant playbook — it walks the time-bucketed steps from the first 15 minutes through long-term hardening. Talk to your department's threat-assessment unit if one exists.
If you're worried about exposure but no active stalker: run a free scan to see what brokers have on you. Removing your address from broker pages doesn't end stalking — but it makes the step that turns a fixation into a real problem (finding where you live) much harder.
For NJ officers, Daniel's Law — the state statute that lets covered officers sue brokers for failing to remove their home address — gives you a direct path to demand removal. For everyone else, the standard broker opt-out is the continuous protection.
How we handle it
We file opt-outs across 200+ broker sites and re-check every two weeks. We pay particular attention to prior-address listings — a known stalker who knew where you used to live can use the broker page to confirm where you are now.
We sweep the family the same way. Going through you to a sibling or parent you didn't know was visible is a documented pattern.
