Definition
A personal protection order (PPO) is a court order that protects you from being harassed, assaulted, molested, wounded, or stalked. The PPO prohibits a named individual from doing these things and prohibits the named individual from entering your premises and removing your children, unless there is a court order.

How to File
To obtain a PPO, you must go to the Wayne County City-County building, in downtown Detroit, at Woodward and Jefferson. Hours are 8:00 am - 4:30 pm. For more information call (313) 224-6262.

You may pickup a copy of the do-it-yourself PPO packet from the Police Department. You must follow the instructions carefully when filling out the forms. They will then be forwarded to a judge for further consideration.
