Save any threatening emails or voicemail messages. You can use
these to take legal action in the future, if you choose to.
If you already have a order of protection, the messages can
serve as evidence in court that the order was violated.
I will keep my protection order _______________________(location)
(Always keep it on or near your person).
I will give my protection order to police departments in the
communities where I usually visit family or friends and in the
community where I live.
For further safety, if I often visit other counties in Tennessee,
I might file my protection order with the court in those counties.
I will register my protection order in the following counties:
___________________ and _________________ that I have a protection
order in effect.
I can call the local domestic violence program if I have a problem
with my protection order.
I will inform my employer, my minister, my closest friend and
_____________ and ____________that I have a protection order
in effect.
If my partner destroys my protection order, I can get another
copy from Maury County Court House (931) 381-3690.
If my partner violates the protection order, I can call the police
and report a violation, contact my attorney, call my advocate,
and/or advise the court of the violation.
If the police do not help, I can contact my advocate or attorney.
I can also file a private criminal compliant with the district
justice in the jurisdiction where the violation occurred or with
the district attorney. I can charge my battering partner with a
violation of the Order of Protection and all the crimes that he/she
commits in violating the order. I can call the domestic violence
advocate to help me with this.
**I WILL ALWAYS KEEP
A CELL PHONE WITH ME.
ALL CELL PHONES CAN CALL 911.**
**I WILL NOT HESITATE TO CALL 911
IF I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE**
I will keep this document in a safe place and out of
the reach of my potential attacker.
