Kalamity,
i had a stalker several years ago. I watched this man play the system, and he was very, VERY good at it. He needed psychiatric help as well as rehab for addictions. It sounds like the police are on the ball there in your area, and I hope it continues, but my situation ended with the man breaking into my house after I called the police. He used a huge rock to break thru my patio door and came after me with a gun he had stolen. The only reason I'm alive is that the gun jammed and I ran to the neighbor's garage, and they called the police.
These stalkers can be very obsessed and vengeful toward the people who try to put them away, and they do DO eventually get out...Make no mistake about this. The system is not very effective in incarcerating them, and as I said before...they are obsessed and they know how to work the system.
