dvServe
When orders of protection are granted by the court the sheriff's office only goes out to serve them once between 9-5 when the recipient (i.e. abuser) is in their geographic jurisdiction. This results in orders of protection not being served and therefore not being enforceable. That results in the domestic violence and/or stalking victim having to take more time off work and get childcare in order to continue going to court to continue the order - causing more harm to someone who is already a victim.

Solution: Get orders of protection served by people more dedicated to the process than the sheriff's office is.
