This resource amplifies best practices for handling violations of protective orders, including treating even a single violation as part of a course of conduct, and how to strategically handle such a violation (or violations, as is often the case) during an investigation and subsequent prosecution. It provides an overview of protection orders as well as a primer on enforcing them in cases of complicated jurisdiction, how prosecutors can charge the often co-occurring offense of stalking without running into issues of double jeopardy, and when prosecutors may want to use their discretion to do so.

When training on law enforcement response to stalking, a policy helps everyone to understand the roles that others play and how they all fit together, but each role has additional steps that should be part of practice and procedure.
