How to use this guide
This guide covers statewide Alaska resources: the agencies, hotlines, and courts that serve every community. Because Alaska is vast and much of it is off the road system, each section also tells you how to find the right office or program for your specific region.
Start here: the Alaska Network on Domestic Violence & Sexual Assault (907-586-3650) can connect you to local shelters, advocates, and legal help anywhere in the state.
Before you call: have your documentation ready — dates, what happened, any messages or photos saved, and whether a report has already been filed elsewhere.
If you're in danger: call 911 first. Every other number in this guide is for follow-up support, not emergency response.

Step-by-Step: What to Expect
Filing a Police Report
- 1Go to any police department or county sheriff's office — you do not have to go to the one nearest the stalker.
- 2Ask to speak with an officer and say clearly that you want to report stalking or harassment.
- 3Bring your documentation: dates, messages, photos, and names of any witnesses.
- 4Ask for the report's complaint number before you leave, and request a copy if possible.
- 5Ask about victim assistance resources — many departments have a victim advocate or can refer you to ANDVSA.
Getting a Protective Order
- 1Call 911 or your local police if you need an emergency protective order right now, including outside court hours.
- 2To file a longer-term order, go to your nearest Alaska Court System location and ask for a domestic violence protective order petition.
- 3Fill out the petition with as much detail as possible — dates, incidents, and any history of the person's behavior.
- 4A judge can issue a temporary order, often the same day, sometimes without the other party present.
- 5Keep a copy of the order with you, at home, and at work, and give one to building or school security if relevant.

Frequently Asked Questions — Reporting Stalking in Alaska
How do I report stalking in Alaska?
If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Otherwise, file a report with your local police department or county sheriff's office — you do not have to go to the one nearest the stalker. Bring dates, messages, photos, and witness names, and ask for the complaint or case number before you leave.
What should I do first if I think I'm being stalked in Alaska?
Stop engaging and start documenting. Save every message, call log, and screenshot with dates and times, and keep a written log of each incident. Then report it to local law enforcement using the contacts in this guide, and call 911 any time you are in immediate danger.
How do I get a protective order in Alaska?
Emergency order: a peace officer can help you get a 72-hour emergency protective order, often outside of normal court hours, when you are in immediate danger from a household member. Longer-term order: a long-term protective order is filed with the Alaska Court System and can last up to the length the court orders, with provisions like no-contact and stay-away requirements. Cost: there is no filing fee for a domestic violence protective order in Alaska.
Is there a fee to file a protective order in Alaska?
No — Alaska's protective-order process does not charge a filing fee, and many courts also waive related costs for stalking victims. The court listed in this guide can confirm current procedures before you file.
Can I get financial help for stalking-related costs in Alaska?
Yes — Alaska has a victim compensation program that may help cover medical, counseling, and lost-wage costs. Contact Alaska Violent Crimes Compensation Board (VCCB) at 1-800-764-3040.
What counts as stalking under Alaska law?
Stalking is a repeated pattern of unwanted conduct — following you, repeated calls, texts, or messages, showing up uninvited, tracking your location, or making threats — that would cause a reasonable person to fear for their safety. In Alaska, a protective order is generally available regardless of your relationship to the stalker.
Can I report stalking in Alaska if the stalker lives in another state?
Yes. File the report where you live or where the stalking occurred. If the behavior crosses state lines, tell the officer — some cases may involve cross-jurisdiction or federal enforcement.
Can I report stalking anonymously in Alaska?
You can submit tips anonymously through statewide hotlines, and many child and adult abuse hotlines accept anonymous reports. For a criminal case, your name may need to appear on the report — ask the agency about its confidentiality policy.
What evidence should I save when reporting stalking in Alaska?
Save every message, email, voicemail, screenshot, and call log with dates and times; keep a written incident log; and note any witnesses. Back everything up to a secure location the stalker cannot access.
