Quick Answer — Caledon
Point Duty defends criminal harassment charges under Criminal Code s.264 — stalking, repeated following, watching, or unwanted contact that makes someone fear for their safety. Summary conviction carries up to two years less a day, a criminal record, and often no-contact and weapons prohibitions. A licensed paralegal can act where the Crown proceeds summarily.
A city criminal harassment file is often built from message threads that have to be transcribed. A Caledon one frequently has nothing to transcribe at all — no texts, no messages, just two accounts of who was where and how often. That puts the whole case on the complainant's recollection, and on whether the fear it describes was reasonable in the circumstances. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence and Legal Services works Caledon harassment files at the Orangeville courthouse on that footing.
