The qeustion is not worded sufficiently well to answer. You will have to check more specifically with your local law enforcement agency or your local court system. Some states do not issue "Protection Orders, or so-called "Keep-Away" Orders. Some issue only Domestic Violence Protection Orders. If the person doing the stalking does not fit the description of having a "domestic relationship" under the statute then that state could not issue such an order. You will need to determine what kind of order, if any, is available top you.
