Safety:  With an Order of Protection

 

  1. Keep your protection order with you at all times.  If you change purses that should be the first thing that goes in.
  2. Call 911 if your partner violates the protection order, right away don't wait an hour, day or week.  Call 911 and Report it immediately.
  3. Think of alternative ways to keep safe if the police do not respond right away.
  4. Inform your family, friends, employer, and neighbors that you have an Order of Protection in effect.
  5. If you leave the state you have the order of protection in be sure to keep the certified copy with you to show other courthouse and or law enforcement officers.
