Legal Terms - Domestic Violence Protection (DVPN) Notice
A warning from a police officer (the "authorizing officer") that forbids a person (P) from harassing the person it is intended to protect. When there is insufficient evidence to file a charge right away, the goal is to safeguard victims of domestic abuse right away. According to the Crime and Security Act of 2010, if P is 18 years of age or older and the authorizing officer has good reason to suspect that P has threatened or used violence against a "associated person" (see non-molestation order), the notice may be given in order to protect that person from the threat or violence. The notification may be given without the permission of the person it is intended to protect, even though the officer must consider, among other things, the interests of a "relevant child" and the related person's viewpoint. The usage of any property where the related person resides may be governed by the notification. If a constable has good reason to suspect that P has violated the notice, P may be taken into custody. A constable is required to apply for a domestic violence protection order (DVPO) as soon as a DVPN is issued, and the application must be heard by a magistrates' court within 48 hours of the DVPN being served or within 24 hours of any arrest for violation. The order, which has a minimum duration of 14 days and a maximum duration of 28 days, imposes the same protective measures as the notice.
