Protective court orders are used in an attempt to reduce harm to those who are at risk of physical abuse and stalking. Although it is a “court order”, in reality, law enforcement can only be reactive when a protective order violation occurs. In many cases, victims believe they were beaten in retaliation to having obtained protection orders against their offender. A call to local law enforcement for help and protection is dependent on how long it takes before help can arrive. It only takes a second for a catastrophic occurrence to take place. Statistics support this is an all too often occurrence. Creative solutions for protection against physical abuse and stalking are needed. DVAP is proactive in nature and can prevent the results of a violated protective order.
