Protection Orders

There are several different types of orders. The on duty desk officer will be able to assist you with determining which order best suits your needs.  The SPD Front Desk is located at the Public Safety Building, 1100 W. Mallon, staffed between 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday.  Once an order is in effect, to obtain personal property so as not to violate the order, you will have to contact a clerk at the court windows located at the Public Safety Building. Please ask for a Modification of the Order to allow Law Enforcement to stand by while you retrieve your belongings.  This then needs to be signed by a Judge. These hearings are held between 1:30 pm – 3:30 pm, Monday – Friday.  If you wish to have an order dropped, you need to ask for a Modification to terminate the Order, which again needs to be signed by a judge.

If violence is occurring right now, call 911.  The City and County have formed a Regional Domestic Violence Team. The team has advocates to help you with relocation, protection orders, court hearings, and counselors.   They are located at 901 N. Monroe. You can call them at (509) 835-4500.
