Maintaining Professionalism and Ensuring Proper Reporting
Understanding the Situation
While uncommon, there may be instances where a resident calls the police on a Process Server. If this occurs, it is essential to remain calm and follow the appropriate steps to ensure a professional resolution.
Recommended Actions
- Remain on Site - If the police have been called, ABC Legal recommends staying at the location until they arrive. This allows you to provide your statement directly to law enforcement.
- Maintain Professionalism - Stay confident in your role as a process server, understanding that you are acting as part of the legal system. Do not engage further with the individual who contacted the police. Avoid any actions that may escalate the situation.
- Cooperate with Law Enforcement - When the police arrive, calmly explain your purpose and provide any necessary documentation. Law enforcement officers are trained to handle these situations and will facilitate a resolution.
