Instructions for Law Enforcement
Enforcing the Restraining Order
This order is enforceable by any law enforcement agency that has received the order, is shown a copy of the order, or has 
verified its existence on the California Restraining and Protective Orders System (CARPOS). If the law enforcement 
agency has not received proof of service on the restrained person, the agency must advise the restrained person of the 
terms of the order and then must enforce it. Violations of this order are subject to criminal penalties.
Start Date and End Date of Orders
This order starts on the date next to the judge’s signature on page 4. The order ends on the expiration date in      on page 1.4
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. Agencies are encouraged to enter violation messages into CARPOS.
Notice/Proof of Service
The law enforcement agency must first determine if the restrained person had notice of the order. Consider the restrained 
person “served” (given notice) if (Pen. Code, § 836(c)(2)):
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 informed of the order by an officer.
An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order and proof of service in CARPOS. If proof of service on 
the restrained person cannot be verified, the agency must advise the restrained person of the terms of the order and then 
enforce it.
If the Protected Person Contacts the Restrained Person
Even if the protected person invites or consents to contact with the restrained person, this order remains in effect and must 
be enforced. The protected person cannot be arrested for inviting or consenting to contact with the restrained person. The 
order can be changed only by another court order. (Pen. Code, § 13710(b).)
This is a Court Order.

Case Number:
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; Fam. Code,  
§§ 6383(h)(2), 6405(b)); Code Civ. Proc., §  527.12(d)(2)):
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.  
 5  a(2) is an example of a no-contact order.
3. Criminal Protective Order (CPO): If none of the orders includes an EPO or a no-contact order, the most recent CPO 
must be enforced. (Fam. Code, §§ 6383(h)(2), 6405(b); Code Civ. Proc., § 527.12(d)(2).) Additionally, a CPO issued in 
a criminal case involving charges of domestic violence, Penal Code sections 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.
