Stalking can be a way to exert power and control during and/or after an abusive relationship.

Oofficers from North Yorkshire Police’s Domestic Abuse team and an officer from CID will be in attendance.

PCSO Janine Tate, who has organised the events, said: “If you would like some advice, or want to speak to our officers privately, in full confidence, you can either speak to the team at the event or arrange an appointment for another time.

"I hope these events may help someone to feel that they can seek advice.”
