Existing law requires that, subject to specified limitations, an emergency protective order be enforced before any other protective or restraining order that has been issued. If there is no emergency protective order that takes precedence in enforcement and there is more than one civil protective or restraining order regarding the same parties, existing law generally requires a peace officer to enforce the order issued last. If there is no emergency protective order that takes precedence in enforcement and both criminal and civil protective or restraining orders have been issued regarding the same parties, existing law generally requires an officer to enforce the criminal order issued last.
