With all due respect to Anon, your former gf would be recognized as a tenant in a lot of states, thus protected as such. To toss her to the street may cause you a heap of legal woes. Educate yourself with the landlord laws in your state and see what your options are. In my state, she would be considered a tenant, therefore i would serve her with a notice to terminate her tenancy, and if she didnt leave in the legally defined timeframe (usually 30 days), then i would start legal proceedings. Typically police will NOT become involved in a situation as yours, for it is considered civil, not criminal - dont waste their time. But if indeed she is posing a threat to you, thats another matter.

I agree. And just as a side note. IF, repeat, IF your state does allow for you to put her out with no notice. DO NOT just throw her belongings on the curb. You have to exercise reasonable care. Something along the lines of putting them in a storage facility under her name and making a video of her stuff before you do. That way she will not claim that there was more than she actually had. I know this is a pain in the rear end, but, gotta do what ya gotta do.

Unless there is a change of address, then the dwelling has been change and no action other than the locks and trespassing can be done, and if more problems arise, then she can have restraining order sent to new dwelling.
