A police order is issued when an arrest cannot be made due to a lack of evidence, but police are concerned for the safety and wellbeing of the person in question.
A police order provides temporary but instant protection for a person who is being threatened.
It provides temporary relief to allow the person to attend court to obtain a Restraining Order.
A Police Order can be issued without requirement, consent or complaint from an individual.
