If you are threatened, the best and correct way out is to contact the police station with a corresponding statement. However, your unsubstantiated statements are unlikely to become a reason for initiating a criminal case. What to do in such a situation and how to write an application that will be accepted for consideration?
Instructions
Step 1
Before contacting the police, collect all possible evidence that you are being threatened. But first, consider whether the threats are truly unfounded. So, if you owe a large amount of money and the criminals have documents confirming this on hand, it is better to find funds and pay them off. If this is not possible, invite them to meet in court, and record their threats of physical or other violence on a dictaphone or on a special device mounted in a landline telephone (like an answering machine).
Step 2
If you receive threatening letters by mail or e-mail, save them. Write down all telephone conversations and with those who may periodically call you with ill intentions. If you have already suffered minor injuries, be sure to contact a medical institution and fix them.
Step 3
Until the situation is resolved, try to leave the house only accompanied by friends or relatives, and if this is not possible, do not walk, at least, along deserted streets and parks and do not return too late. Buy, just in case, some kind of psychological protection (gas canister, stun gun, air gun) and register it.
Step 4
If those who threaten you call you to a meeting, be sure to come only with witnesses, having previously enlisted the support of relatives or reliable friends. From the offer to meet in private, refuse or ask your loved ones to be nearby and, if possible, shoot it on a video camera. Of course, you can also turn to private detectives with this offer, but this will require a lot of money.
Step 5
Only when you have collected all possible evidence that you are being threatened, contact the police. You can draw up a statement in the department under the dictation of the person on duty or on your own. Write in the upper right corner of the sheet in the name of whom you are applying (for example, to the duty unit or the head of the police department of your area, indicating his full name). Please include your full name, date of birth, address and phone number.
Step 6
Write in the middle of the page the word “statement” (with a lowercase letter), then put a full stop. State the point in free form, trying to write in short, clear phrases and describe only the facts. Avoid the words “maybe”, “I guess”, “in my opinion”, etc. If you know the criminals, indicate their name and place of residence. Indicate where the witnesses were at the time you were threatened and that they can give important testimony for the investigation of the case. Give the name and address of the witnesses. If you have collected written, photo, video and audio materials, attach copies of them to the application, and at the end of it make a list of applications.
Step 7
Check that the person on duty has registered your application and issued you with the appropriate certificate. If the initiation of a criminal case on the fact of threats is denied to you, file a complaint about the inaction of police officers to the prosecutor's office.
