An order of protection is a document issued by the court that forbids an individual from engaging in certain behavior. For example,
- an order of protection can forbid a person from having any contact with the victim.
- the person can’t go to the victim’s home, place of employment, or school, or contact the victim via email, phone, text message or any other electronic means.
- An order of protection can also require an individual not to assault, threaten, harass, or stalk a victim. (according to NY Courts.gov)
At Molloy College The Department of Public Safety's priorities include personal as well as community safety. The Department requests that every individual who currently possesses Family Court, Criminal Court, or Supreme Court Orders of Protection submit a copy to the Department of Public Safety. Once received, the Department will file a copy with the Rockville Centre Police Department.
Orders of Protection are not only designed to keep an individual safe but also the community in which the individual works and/or studies. The Public Safety Department is mainly comprised of retired police officers, detectives, supervisors and commanders, highly trained in such matters. Those individuals who come from other backgrounds have received training in safety, tactics and investigative techniques from members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local law enforcement agencies.
Remember, every time an order is renewed, you must again file a copy with the Molloy Department of Public Safety. The Department assures all those who file that every effort will be made to keep identities and details confidential.
