Can I report something that hasn’t happened yet?

[Anonomonomous]

I would like to make a log somewhere that if something happens to me, that a certain person is almost definitely responsible.
No recent threats from them, not something I want to discuss and it would be so important that he never found out.
Can I contact the police and just leave a mark on my file that if I go missing/get hurt, he is responsible. Or does it not work like that and they’d ask more questions?
Thank you.

Call the police non emergency number.

Do The Police have a file on you to "leave a mark on"?

I would really advise you seek help if you feel you may be in danger.

The police will ask questions of you but aren't going to take any action if nothing criminal has happened.

You could lodge a letter with a solicitor maybe? If you have a will it could be attatched to that?

Yes you can but explain why and any historical threats. I would also email a pdf with the reasons why, any evidence, contact details etc to at least 3 people you trust. You can also have a WA group that you post in daily with trusted people and ask them to check in / phone the police if you don’t check in by a given time.

Could you leave a letter explaining your concerns with your will?

I think you need to speak to a lawyer and ask them if they could hold a date stamped document in their trust with any conditions on its release.

Solicitors is a great idea, thank you!

If you feel someone is going to do something. I strongly advise you to go to the police tonight non emergency or emergency and report it.
if you can you leave and go and

1. redirect post to safe address via post office and do not leave a forwarding address
2. remove all paperwork / photos and other non replacement items and leave with a friend
3. buy a completely new mobile phone
4. change your old number on your old phone and tell the mobile phone company you are in danger
5. change your address with the usual Specsavers, dentist, doctor etc and tell them you are in danger
6. don’t leave a paper trail - eg better to rent a room as a lodger in a new city through a church then rent in the same town
7. delete all sm and reset with a new name unidentifiable and don’t be clever eg middle name and mother name. Go random.

these are just a few ideas.

I once vanished. I did not have children. The above is some of what I did. You can change name by deed poll.

Sorry, what good would lodging a letter with a solicitor do?

If you have concerns for your safety or life you should contact the police with whatever evidence and information you have.

As if 🙄

Why don't you post what you're worried about on here and then if it happens there will be a log and someone can contact the authorities

Thanks all, I have no reason to logically believe I’m in danger. I am hoping time changes people. But I just want something recorded, just incase.

Tell close friends. I 'know' of a woman who had 'fallen down the stairs' and had life threatening injuries. Her friends contacted police when they heard she was in hospital saying she'd confided in them she was a victim of abuse.

It’s tricky, my husband is such a lovely man. I don’t want to share this history, or worry him, or anyone!

Is the person who is a danger to you, from the past?

OP, I would suggest you make an appt to talk th8s over with your GP. They will keep it confidential, signpost to any help you need, etc. Lodge a letter alongside your will with a solicitor, keep one tucked away somewhere private at home.

So you trust him enough to marry him, but not enough to know about possible threats on your safety?

Do you not read Agatha Christie? Put a letter with your will and tell as many people as you can now. If you go to the police it will be in order to take steps against harassment or to report an actual event that has occurred.

I don’t understand this post. Is it your husband who is a threat despite being a lovely man?
Or an ex that you don’t want him to know about? Because if that’s the case I’m sure he would want to know about it if your safety is compromised.
