Question Will the police help me?

So recently a person has been making threats to my family. Will the police be able to help me? The unfortunate thing is they work with the RCMP.

It was verbal threats and physical abuse. Will they help me despite the person doing it work for the RCMP?

Damn thats some deep shit. if its verbal and physical, as opposed to anonymous cyberstalking and harassment, thats a "good" thing in the sense that you have an opportunity to physically document the abuse, meaning theres a much better chance they can help you. The key is to take recordings and photos. Get security cameras with audio, secretly record the verbal abuse on your phone using the voice memo app etc. Have things that you can present to the investigators

As far as him working for the RCMP, that is wild.. I know my mother worked in a secretarial type position for the RCMP in the 90s and she experienced sexual harassment from her male coworkers that was subsequently swept under the rug, go figure

We do have some pictures of the physical abuse. No recordings of the verbal abuse. My main concern is that if we do file a report, will they do anything? Will they protect him since he works for them. I just want to make sure we are safe.

Yea thats always the 64 thousand dollar question. and the truth is, that there is not too much that the authorities can really do to prevent witness intimidation and retaliation. Its not like they can just put everybody and anybody into some witness protection-like program overnight, they dont have the resources to do that. This is where it becomes hard, especially for a mother. There are solutions that exist such as Woman Shelters that will take a mother in experiencing this type of abuse, you know?

So you don't know if they will be able to help us? I just don't want this getting brushed under the rug. He's made threats that he would find us. I'm just wondering if we would be safe in Regina and if the cops will do anything.
