Police have served more than 100 family violence and personal protection orders during a two-day blitz this week.

Police say that on Monday and Tuesday more than 20 officers served:

• 88 family violence orders;
• 19 personal protection orders ;
• 5 orders for interstate jurisdictions;
• 7 subpoenas; and
• 6 summons.

As part of the operation, one person was also taken into custody as they were subject to an arrest warrant and three firearms were seized from another person (as required by the family violence order).

Police say legislation covering the family violence orders and personal protection orders stipulates that the orders must be served in person.

“This can prove challenging, especially when the person being served is actively avoiding police. Additionally, investigative techniques normally used by police to locate a person are not permitted to be used when serving court orders,” they say.
