Tami, I am appalled at this! As you may know, my Mr is a cop...Asst Chief in our town. Yes, call the FBI and the State Troopers. What you are requesting is called a Civil Standby and they HAVE to do it. Part of their job. Don't know if the State Troopers will do it for you. How about an off duty cop?

The street in front of the cop shop is a great place to have the car dropped. There are usually surveillance cameras there.

It IS true that some departments, often but not always, Sheriffs Dept. don't seem to want to do their job. The Sheriff in most places is an elected office so the person who 'wins' may not have any law enforcement experience at all.

My next question is, Just who is the Ex/Abuser etc. buddy buddy with on the department? Sounds like somebody is his buddy.

Me, I'd go ahead and get me a reporter and camera crew to follow me around. As in all cases of mugging, scream as loud as you can whereever you can.

Did you get the cat? That is the only thing that isn't replaceable. Yes, it will be a pain to replace the birth cert, divorce papers, etc, but it CAN be done.

Good luck, and my thoughts are with you. If a phone call from one cop to another would do any good, let me know. He already has a few contacts in WA state.
