It does not occur EVERY NIGHT while we are enjoying our nightly walks. When it does, we do not follow the men and investigate. If we feel a woman is being followed, we alert her. Never once was the woman angry with us or laughed. There is one particular guy who runs when we point him out. His running away tells us that he is up to something. This is the person we pointed out to the officer. We have not seen him in quite some time.

I see you are catching flak from some in this thread. I don't think you deserve that.
I think the way you are handling this is fine. Your wife is with you when you tell the woman who might be being followed. You are not chasing after the guy who appears to be following.
My guess is you are naturally observant, perhaps because of a military background, or maybe because you happen to be one of those people who does not miss much.
(I was stalked once. An observant man stopped it.)
There are those who do not want to think about anything possibly going wrong in a place with almost 150,000 people, or whatever that number is. Overall, TV is safe by comparision to most places, but still.........
