Protective Orders
Camden House's Legal Advocate assists survivors with Temporary Protection Orders (TPOs), court advocacy, and victims' rights.
You do not need a police report in order to file for an order of protection. An order may direct the offending person not to injure, threaten, or harass you or others listed in the order.
Call (912) 882-7858 to speak with an advocate about protective orders and court accompaniment.
