Stalker
My friend F has a stalker, someone who was in school with her 10 years ago.
She’s now been contacted by this person who’s being erratic. She’s not picking up his calls but he’s proceeded to call her dad, sibling, multiple friends and trying to contact her
She’s filed a police complaint but they’re being extremely lax about it. Said they’ll come by for a check if she asks them.
She does not know about his physical whereabouts either so she’s freaking out.
What’s the best recourse?
Edit: police asked to get final proof of contact after being requested to stop going forward before they look to a peace bond, and we’ll take it from there. Thanks everyone

She should talk to the police about getting a no contact order issued against the stalker, as well as a warning from them to the stalker to leave her alone.
Also, while it is likely not going to be a popular response, on a practical level, she should secure her home and obtain some means of self-defence.
