Protection Order Practice for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement, Presented by the National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith & Credit

Prosecutors and law enforcement play a central role in protection order enforcement and holding offenders accountable for their violations. To assist these disciplines, the National Center on Protection Orders and Full Faith & Credit, in partnership with AEquitas and the Stalking Resource Center of the National Center for Victims of Crime, is pleased to offer the Protection Order Practice for Prosecutors and Law Enforcement training. The goal of the training is to allow prosecutors and law enforcement to gain valuable information on protection orders, the evidence necessary to prosecute a defendant for violating an order, recognizing the dynamics of stalking and the role that multiple violations of orders can play in creating and substantiating a stalking charge. This training will focus on law enforcement and prosecutors gaining valuable insight into the role that protection order violations play, whether the resulting charge is stalking (based on the protection order violations) or charging the violation of the order of protection. The curricula is tailored to all levels of experience. This training is free to register for and open to prosecuting attorneys and law enforcement. Registration ends August 22, 2016.
