Deputies assigned to this unit also serve Emergency Evaluation Petitions for people who are considered a danger to themselves or the community. Domestic Violence Petitions and Protective Orders are computerized for tracking. This enables violators to be served and orders to be enforced all over the . All victims who bring orders to the Sheriff's Office are interviewed and their situation assessed. A professional staff is able to refer victims to the proper agencies that can assist them in meeting their needs. For information on Domestic Violence related orders or to make a cell phone donation, please call the Domestic Violence Unit Monday through Friday from 8am until 4:30pm. 410-822-1020. |
