(a) An extreme risk protection order issued pursuant to section 1004 must be served personally upon the respondent.
(b) The law enforcement agency in the district where the respondent resides shall serve the respondent personally.
(c) On or before the next court day, the clerk of court shall forward a copy of the extreme risk protection order, issued pursuant to 1004, to the law enforcement agency specified in the order for service. Service of an order issued pursuant to this subchapter takes precedence over the service of other documents, unless the other documents are of a similar emergency nature.

The law enforcement agency may request additional time to allow for the proper and safe planning and execution of the court order.
(e) If an extreme risk protection order entered by the court states that the respondent appeared in person before the court, the necessity for further service is waived, and proof of service of that order is not necessary.
(f) Returns of service pursuant to this subchapter must be made in accordance with the applicable court rules.
(g) If the respondent is a veteran and there are any criminal charges against the respondent that result from the service or enforcement of the extreme risk protection order, the judge shall refer the case to a veterans’ court if the jurisdiction has a veterans’ court and the charges are veterans’ court eligible.
