The weekend when cops came a’calling

Police put in a busy weekend serving more than 200 court orders and documents to ensure people subject to court ordered restrictions are aware of and abide by those restrictions.

They served:

  • 70 personal protection orders
  • 54 family violence orders
  • Five workplace protection orders
  • Four interstate orders
  • 69 subpoenas
  • Two summons

In the ACT, all court orders must be served by police and they must be served in-person. Last financial year, almost 1800 personal protection and family violence orders were served.
