Police check for military protective orders
When police arrest a U.S. service member, they must check the FBI’s national crime database (NCIC) for a military protective order. If they have probable cause the order was violated, they must notify the authority that issued it. The law also defines a “military protective order” using 32 C.F.R. 635.19 as it stood on January 1, 2026. These steps improve enforcement and notice in cases involving service members.
Stronger evidence in protection order cases
At any protection order hearing, the petition and affidavit are treated as offered evidence. The court admits them unless it specifically excludes them. A military protective order can also be admitted as proof of past conduct and the need for protection. This makes it easier for people seeking orders to show risk.
