PPO (Permanent Protective Order)

A Permanent Protective Order (PPO) is a legal document issued by a court that permanently restricts someone from contacting or approaching another individual to ensure their safety. It is typically granted after a formal hearing and can prohibit behaviors such as harassment, stalking, or abuse. The order remains in effect until a specified date or until it is modified or revoked by the court. PPOs are designed to provide long-term protection and peace of mind for victims of abuse or threats, enforcing compliance through legal penalties if the order is violated.
