New program avai lable to patrol officers
The Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center is developing a new program that can provide a
great benefit to our patrol officers and the community we serve. During business hours if officers
encounter victims of domestic violenc e, elder or sexual abuse that are in need of additional service s,
patrol officers can transport them to the SRFJC office . Victims not wanting police to transport, staff
from the SRFJC can respond to the victim and give them a ride. If officers have a vict im interested in
seeking services, they should call the SRFJC at (916) 875 -4673 to inform them of the situation prior
to transport. The victim can also call and self -transport if they would prefer .
Restraining order applications
The SRFJC also provides victims assistance with the filing of restraining order applications. This
process can often take between 2 -3 hours to complete and file. Individuals seeking one are
encouraged to arrive at SRFJC as early as they can , giving them the best chance of compl eting the
application and getting a decision by the Court that same day. Restraining order applications are due
at 2:00 PM, Monday -Friday. A judge review s the application and decides whether to grant the order .
This judicial decision will be announced at 3 :45 PM. SRFJC attorneys are available at that time to
review and explain the order. If an application is not finish ed by 2:00 PM, it will still be submitted, but
the applicant will not get a response until 3:45 PM the following day.
A person is at high est risk once a restraining order has been served to the abuser, making it critical
that the victim have a safety plan in place. The SRFJC has case workers on staff who will meet with
the victim to develop a safety plan.
