This court has jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter; the restrained person has been or will be afforded notice and a timely opportunity to be heard as provided by the laws of this jurisdiction.

This is a Court Order.

Start Date and End Date of Orders The orders start on the earlier of the following dates: • The hearing date in item 5 a on page 2; or • The date next to the judge’s signature on page 6. The orders end on the expiration date in item 4 on page 1. If no date is listed, they end three years from the hearing date in item 5 a on page 2.

Duties of Officer Serving This Order The officer who serves this order on the Restrained Person must do the following: • Ask if the Restrained Person is in possession of any of the prohibited items listed in 6 , or has custody or control of any that they have not already turned in. • Order the Restrained Person to immediately surrender to you all prohibited items. • Issue a receipt to the Restrained Person for all prohibited items that have been surrendered. • Complete a proof of personal service and file it with the court. You may use form JV-268 for this purpose. • Within one business day of service, submit the proof of service directly into the California Restraining and Protective Order System (CARPOS), including the serving officer’s name and law enforcement agency.

Enforcing the Restraining Order in California Any law enforcement officer in California who receives, sees, or verifies the orders on a paper copy, in the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS), or in an NCIC Protection Order File must enforce the orders.

Notice/Proof of Service Law enforcement must first determine if the restrained person had notice of the orders. If notice cannot be verified, the restrained person must be advised of the terms of the orders. If the restrained person then fails to obey the orders, the officer must enforce them. (Pen. Code, § 836(c)(1); Fam. Code, § 6383.) Consider the restrained person “served” (notified) if: • The officer sees a copy of the Proof of Service or confirms that the Proof of Service is on file; or • The restrained person was at the restraining order hearing or was informed of the order by an officer. (Fam. Code, § 6383; Pen. Code, § 836(c)(2).) An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order in the California Restraining and Protective Order System (CARPOS). (Fam. Code, § 6381(b), (c).)

Arrest Required if Order Is Violated If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person. (Pen. Code, §§ 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6. This is a Court Order. Rev.

Conflicting Orders—Priorities for Enforcement If more than one restraining order has been issued protecting the protected person from the restrained person, the orders must be enforced in the following priority (see Pen. Code, § 136.2 and Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h)(2), 6405(b)):

1. Emergency Protective Order (EPO): If one of the orders is an Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-001), provisions (e.g., stay-away order) that are more restrictive than in the other restraining/protective orders must be enforced. Provisions of another order that do not conflict with the EPO must also be enforced.

2. No-Contact Order: If a restraining/protective order includes a no-contact order, the no-contact order must be enforced. Item 14 is an example of a no-contact order.

3. Criminal Protective Order (CPO): If none of the orders include an EPO or a no-contact order, the most recent CPO must be enforced. (Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h)(2) and 6405(b).) Additionally, a CPO issued in a criminal case involving charges of domestic violence, Pen. Code, §§ 261, 261.5, or former 262, or charges requiring sex offender registration must be enforced over any civil court order. (Pen. Code, § 136.2(e)(2).) All provisions in the civil court order that do not conflict with the CPO must also be enforced.

4. Civil Restraining Orders: If there is more than one civil restraining order (e.g., domestic violence, juvenile, elder abuse, civil harassment), then the order that was issued last must be enforced. Provisions that do not conflict with the most recent civil restraining order must also be enforced.
