A few days later I followed up with local pd, only to find no report had been filed, no call had been made , it seems the spouse of an SO is irrelevant and I’m scared, where we live is not a great area, what dies one do when the police don’t care. Oi wish local police treated families of those on the registry with more respect, its not a big ask, just common decency
