(1)

A peace officer may inform a person in danger of abuse of the officer’s ability to apply for an ex parte emergency protective order and, with the person’s consent or permission, may apply to a circuit court for the order when the peace officer has probable cause to believe:

(a)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(A)

The peace officer has responded to an incident of domestic disturbance and the circumstances for mandatory arrest as described in ORS 133.055 (Criminal citation) (2)(a) exist; or

(B)

The person is in immediate danger of abuse by a family or household member; and

(b)

An emergency protective order is necessary to prevent the person from suffering the occurrence or recurrence of abuse.

(2)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

An application for an emergency protective order described in subsection (1) of this section shall consist of the proposed emergency protective order and the peace officer’s declaration under penalty of perjury setting forth the facts and circumstances underlying entry of the order.

(b)

The proposed emergency protective order and the declaration may be sent to the court by electronic transmission that delivers a complete printable image of the order and signed declaration.

(a)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(B)

A person is in immediate danger of abuse by a family or household member; and

(b)

An emergency protective order is necessary to prevent a person from suffering the occurrence or recurrence of abuse.

(4)

If the circuit court enters an emergency protective order under subsection (3) of this section:

(a)

The peace officer shall provide, without charge, a certified true copy of the emergency protective order to the protected person and shall ensure that certified true copies of the order and the declaration are filed with the court.

(b)

A peace officer shall serve the respondent personally. Upon completion of service, the peace officer shall prepare a declaration under penalty of perjury of proof of service verifying that the emergency protective order was served personally on the respondent, file a copy of the declaration with the court and enter the order into the Law Enforcement Data System maintained by the Department of State Police.

(c)

If the peace officer cannot complete service within one day of the emergency protective order’s entry, the peace officer shall notify the court that the documents have not been served.

(6)

Entry into the Law Enforcement Data System constitutes notice to all law enforcement agencies of the existence of the emergency protective order.

The emergency protective order is fully enforceable in any county or tribal land in this state.

(7)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(a)

An emergency protective order expires seven calendar days from the date the court signs the order.

(b)

An emergency protective order shall remain in effect until the order expires or is terminated by court order.
