Stalking Investigations in Alaska

01Safety first

Safety Planning Comes Before Evidence

Evidence never matters more than your safety. If you feel threatened, call 911 or the Alaska State Troopers, and tell them about every incident, not only the latest one. Domestic violence and sexual assault advocates in many Alaska communities can help with a safety plan, shelter and court paperwork. Delator Group is not a protection service, and a stalking investigation never replaces police. Our Anchorage investigators will ask whether a report exists before planning any work.

Once you are safe, documentation becomes powerful. Stalking is a pattern crime: a single text or a single sighting may seem minor, but a dated, organized record of repeated contact shows the course of conduct the statute requires. We help victims build that record, and we work closely with attorneys preparing protective order petitions. Our investigation support for Alaska attorneys and our guide to what investigators may legally do in Alaska explain how that work stays lawful.

• Call 911 or troopers if in danger
• Keep a dated log of every incident
• Save messages, call logs and voicemails
• Tell trusted coworkers and neighbors
• Vary routes and routines where possible

02The law

How Alaska Defines Stalking in Two Degrees

As of the 2025 Alaska Statutes, AS 11.41.270 generally defines second-degree stalking as knowingly engaging in a course of conduct that recklessly places another person in fear of death or physical injury, or of the death or injury of a family member. It is a class A misdemeanor. The statute defines nonconsensual contact broadly, including following or appearing within sight, approaching or confronting the person, appearing at home or work, phone calls, mail and electronic communications. Our cyberbullying investigations handle the online side.

First-degree stalking under AS 11.41.260 is a class C felony and generally applies when second-degree stalking is combined with an aggravating factor, such as violating a protective order, violating probation, release or parole conditions, a victim under 16, the defendant's possession of a deadly weapon, or a prior stalking conviction or listed offense against the same victim. Documenting those factors can matter as much as documenting the contact itself. Prosecutors decide charges, and your attorney can explain how the statutes apply.

03Technology

GPS Trackers, Hidden Cameras and Monitoring Software

Alaska's stalking statute expressly includes following or monitoring a person with a global positioning device or similar technology, and installing or using a device to observe, record or photograph events in the person's home, vehicle or workplace, or on their personal phone or computer. The statute says a device includes software. That means a tracker hidden under a bumper or a spyware app on a phone can be part of the course of conduct, and our North Pole investigators can check a client's vehicle for such devices in the Interior. Our personal information OSINT wipe addresses the online exposure that often accompanies tracking.

We conduct lawful inspections of vehicles and spaces the client owns or has the right to control, document anything found with photographs and notes, and advise that it be turned over to police rather than removed and discarded. Hidden cameras in bathrooms, bedrooms or changing areas can also violate AS 11.61.123, Alaska's indecent viewing and picture statute. Delator never places trackers or cameras on anything it has no right to, and our workplace surveillance work follows the same rule.

04Court

Protective Orders and the Evidence Judges Look For

When the stalker is a current or former household member, a victim of a crime involving domestic violence may petition the district or superior court for a protective order under AS 18.66.100. Relief can include no contact, stay-away provisions for home, school and work, removal from a shared residence, possession of a vehicle and pets, and in some circumstances firearm surrender. The prohibition on abuse generally lasts until further order of the court, and other relief generally lasts one year unless dissolved.

Judges look for specific, dated, credible evidence. We organize incident logs, saved messages, photographs and witness statements into a clear chronology counsel can present at the hearing, which requires at least 10 days' notice for a long-term order. If a protective order is later violated, that violation is itself one of the aggravating factors for first-degree stalking. Our guide to custody investigations in Alaska explains how the same evidence can matter in a parenting case, and our Palmer investigators cover the Mat-Su courthouse.

05Documentation

Documenting Following and Repeated Contact Lawfully

Some victims need an independent witness. With a written scope, our investigators can observe from public places to document whether a person appears near the client's home or workplace, which vehicle they drive and when. Every observation is logged with time, place and photographs taken lawfully. We never confront the suspected stalker, which could escalate the danger. Our surveillance investigations in Alaska explain how we document without crossing onto private property.

Alaska's daylight affects how this works. In December Anchorage gets about five and a half hours of daylight and Fairbanks under four, so documentation often relies on vehicles, plates and lights rather than clear images of a face. In smaller towns with one road in, such as Homer on the Sterling Highway or Valdez on the Richardson, a stalker's vehicle may be easier to notice and document. Our Homer investigators and Valdez investigators know those communities.

06Identification

Identifying a Harasser Who Hides Behind Accounts

Anonymous accounts, spoofed numbers and burner profiles are common. We analyze the content, timing and language of messages, the details the sender knows about the victim, and connections between accounts, then compare them with people who have motive and opportunity. Alaska's harassment statute, AS 11.61.120, generally covers anonymous or obscene calls, obscene electronic communications and communications threatening physical injury, which can support a report even before stalking is established.

When an account must be formally linked to a person, counsel or police may seek records from the platform through legal process. We prepare the factual foundation for that request. We do not hack accounts, guess passwords or pose as anyone online. Recording your own calls with the harasser is generally lawful under AS 42.20.310 because you are a party, but intercepting other people's communications is not. Our dating background checks can help when the harasser met the victim online, and our Fairbanks investigators handle Interior cases.

07Prevention

Reducing Your Exposure and Screening Every Request

Stalkers often find victims through data brokers, public records and social media. Our personal information OSINT wipe, a $900 remote service, identifies where your address, phone number and family details appear online and requests removal where possible. It does not make anyone invisible, but it can make you much harder to find. Our background check guide for Alaska explains which records remain public by law.

Because stalkers sometimes hire investigators to find victims, we screen every locate request we receive across our services. We decline any search that looks like an attempt to find someone who left a relationship to stay safe, and we stop if a person we find tells us they do not want contact. Our lost contact searches and evasive person locates both apply that rule. Field documentation is billed at $100 per hour, as our Alaska service pricing shows.
