Protection When Restraining Orders Aren’t Enough Breakout Session 3: 1:55 PM – 2:50 PM

Presenters

Protective court orders are intended to reduce harm to individuals at risk of physical abuse and stalking. Although they are referred to as “court orders,” law enforcement typically only responds reactively when a violation occurs. Many victims report being assaulted in retaliation for obtaining protection orders against their abusers. When victims call local law enforcement for assistance, the timing of their response can vary, and a catastrophic event can happen in just a moment. Statistics indicate that this is a frequent issue. There is a need for creative solutions to enhance protection against physical abuse and stalking. The Domestic Violence and Abuse Protection (DVAP) takes a proactive approach to prevent the potentially deadly consequences of violated protective orders. This session will explore how DVAP collaborates with the Domestic Violence Abuse community and law enforcement, as well as who provides the services we offer. We will also review case histories and discuss the best ways to contact DVAP for assistance.
