Do you have a formal risk assessment on this? Is it adequate, or do you need to bring this up with your manager? I would have thought that a duty of care to employees (statutory in the EU) would include pursuing threat-makers in the courts and seeking damages and getting orders for them to cease/desist and face jail if they come within say 500yds of you (or 1000yds if they are good shot).

My manager knows, and we have a Dangerous Address process that we go through when we have "real" threats. We cannot pursue the issue in court because I am a Federal Employee and all citizens have a right to privacy from the government. If I worked for a private company we could pursue it because their is no right to privacy from corporations. The only reason the police were involved was because the respondent called them wanting them to arrest me for collecting water samples from the streams that cross his property.
