Procedure for Dealing with Harassing Phone Calls

If you receive annoying or harassing phone calls hang up immediately and contact the TMCC college police. You will need to give them the following information:

• Your phone number
• Date of call
• Time of call
• Type of call (silent, heavy breathing, obscene, threat)
• Comments made by person calling
• Sound of voice
• Recent problems that might be related to the call
• Suspected persons name if you have an idea who it was

If you receive additional calls again, contact the TMCC college police and give them the information for that call. Continue to keep a log of the above information on each call and report it to campus police immediately. If necessary the police can request a trap to be placed on your phone. For the trap to be effective it is imperative for you to keep the log and call the police upon receiving each call. If you don't report them there is no way for the police to pinpoint which call(s) on the report were harassing.
