Again, harassment and bullying can - without more - lead to emotional distress of various types. Those are not, however, matters of personal safety, despite being bad. If I make fun of you in front of your peers to the extent you feel serious emotional distress, I might be an a-hole, and certainly I might even deserve to get fired if we work in the same place, but you don't get to call the police unless you have a reasonable fear that I'm going to physically assault you in some way. That's the "more" that takes us over the line into a safety issue.
