Overview

Introduction

The California Courts Protective Order Registry (CCPOR) is a judicial branch project to create a statewide repository that provides more complete, accessible information on restraining and protective orders. Access to protective orders through CCPOR will be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week (24/7) in all court jurisdictions. CCPOR resulted from a recommendation to the Judicial Council submitted by its Domestic Violence Practice and Procedure Task Force to provide a statewide protective order registry. The registry will contain up-to-date information, including electronic images of the actual, signed orders that will be readily available to judges and law enforcement. To address the task force’s recommendations, CCPOR has three primary goals:

Provide the trial courts in all 58 California counties access to CCPOR, enhancing the ability of bench officers to make more informed decisions and avoid issuing conflicting orders;
Improve public safety and the safety of law enforcement officers by providing access to the full text (images) and more accurate, complete, and up-to-date order information; and
Automate the exchange of information between the courts and CLETS.

The Judicial Council of California completed development of the system and have been actively deploying CCPOR. To date, 33 counties have been successfully deployed. By the end of 2014, the goal is to have 40 counties live on CCPOR. In 2011, a pilot project was started to include Tribal Courts of those Indian Tribes that are within or adjacent to the boundaries of California. To date, 14 Tribal Courts are now using CCPOR.
