About Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs)

 

An ERPO is used to protect an individual from themselves.  It does this by removing access to their firearms for a short time.

  • ERPOs are used when someone is at risk of harming themselves or others.
  • ERPOs are filed by a close family member, certain care workers, or government agencies.

What about a Personal Protection Order?

 

A Personal Protection Order (PPO/PROG/MROG) differs from an ERPO.

  • It is used to protect an individual from another's behavior.
  • A PPO does this by stopping contact and mandating physical separation.
