I have received telephone calls and a letter at my place of work by an anonymous caller who makes some very serious allegations and demands that my employer sacks me because of these allegations. The police say there is nothing they can do, is this totally true or do they just not have the resources?

Don't you have any "stalker" laws where you are?

Not a lot they can do unless you have an idea who it is!
It sounds to me that it could be someone where you work!
Best way to play it is to talk to the manager or human resources or most senior person and ask them for their assistance. If the allegations made are untrue, then you need to ensure that your employer knows this!
The police could ask for the letters and obtain tests but it is very expensive and time consuming! Find out from the envelopes/letters, where they were posted and narrow the search down a bit! Most vindictive and stupid people would not think to post too far from where they live - so the envelopes can tell you quite a bit!

A housemate of mine had this problem about 10 years ago (in the UK). We called the police, they traced the call and asked the local police to "have a word." It evidently worked because he never heard from the nutcase again. Do not give up. There IS something they can do. I do not understand why they would not take it seriously.
I agree that you should speak with your manager or HR in case this escalates beyond letters and phone calls. Of course, this should only be on a need-to-know basis, but it could be invaluable letting your work know what is happening. If the situation does escalate you will have the benefit of their support (I hope) and they will then be able to make noise to the police. Of course, that should not be necessary, because they should be listening to you. However, you do have to do whatever is necessary to protect yourself and your job.
Good luck sorting this out.

A reverse cell phone lookup service I have used is http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=179
Enter the number in the system and they will tell you a lot of informations about the phone number and the person who owns it.
If they have extra details you will have to pay for the report.
Free reverse phone lookup sites generally don't provide anything interesting. To get further information, money will have to be paid. The free searches do not provide much more than what can be found through the phone book.
The best thing is that you can get informations about anyone!!

the police are perfectly capable of dealing with this they just cant be bothered , all telephone calls are recorded , if the call was made from an anonymous mobile then they can find exactly within one metre from where the call was made .
my advise is to speak with a lawyer and ask him to contact the police on your behalf and try not to laugh when all of a sudden your problem becomes the most serious the entire police force had ever had to deal with ,
WHY ? = because lawyers sue !

If you have their phone number you can contact BT or your phone provider and ask them to block this number. Have you or can you discuss these allegations with your employer? Police may take more of an interest in what's going on if your boss approaches them You don't say what you do...... May be worth seeking advice from the CAB. Are you in the UK?

Chances are that the person sending these messages is someone you know very well and not very far away from you. Keep the papers you are sent and show them to the police when you have a few of them.
Next contact BT and tell them of the nuisance calls you are receiving, they will trace the number and report the party to the police.

As you have been told, it is someone who knows you.
Who knows your phone number AND where you work?
This narrows it down. Is the voice male or female? Is there an accent?
Who do you know that might have a grudge against you? Have you argued with someone? Have you recently been promoted? Is this a new job?
If so did someone you know also apply? Is there someone at work who deliberately avoids you? Have you had a dispute or argument with a neighbour or someone you know from your social life?
I have no doubt you could come up with a few more questions like this.

Contact your phone company who may be able to trace the origin of calls, the police will act if you pressure them enough, they keep the crime figures down by not logging them in the first place! threaten them by saying you will contact your local newspaper or MP, they will then get off their backsides and do something about it. Contact your Citizens Advice Bureau, I always thought that they would just listen and not help but they are very very good at dealing with this sort of thing. Good luck.

reverse phone number search compiles hundreds of millions of phone book records to help locate the owner's name, location, time zone, email and other public information.
Use a reverse phone lookup to:
Get the identity of an unknown caller.
Identify an area code.
Recall the name of a person whose number you wrote down.
Identify an unfamiliar phone number that shows up on your bill.

Have a quiet word with your Personnel Manager at work for a start. The Police should also have given better advice than that.
