Status: in_force

enforce the provisions of the order unless it is readily apparent to the peace officer

to whom the order is presented that the order has either expired according to a date

shown on the order, or that the order's provisions clearly do not prohibit the conduct

being complained of. Officers acting in good faith shall be immune from criminal

and civil liability.

complained of, the officer shall not make an arrest unless the provisions of a

Kentucky statute have been violated, in which case the peace officer shall take the

action required by Kentucky law.

order for the same violation of the protective order shall be mutually exclusive.
