HAMPSHIRE Constabulary has been praised for a clinic it runs aimed at preventing stalking, and helping victims of stalkers.
In a government report about the response to stalking and harassment, its Stalking Clinic is highlighted as best practice.
It is funded by Hampshire Police and Crime Commissioner (HPCC) and aims to provide a forum for the identification, referral, consultation, case formation and risk assessment of stalking cases.
A multi-agency panel reviews high-risk stalking cases using the stalking risk profile assessment process.
HPCC Michael Lane welcomed the findings.
He said: “I am very pleased that the inspectors have recognised the good practice within Hampshire Constabulary, in particular the Stalking Clinic and the victim advocate service.
