Extreme Risk Protection Order
Chapter 7.105 RCW
Petitions for Extreme Risk Protection Orders can be filed to stop someone from having firearms. This may be applicable if they are at extreme risk of harming themselves or others. These orders can be requested by an intimate partner, family member, household member or a law enforcement agency.
Extreme Risk Protection Orders do not include restraints to stay away from certain people or places, or to avoid contact.
If you need information for a protection order involving domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, or to protect a vulnerable adult, visit the Civil Protection Order website. An order to surrender weapons can be requested with any of these civil protection order types.
