(a) If a peace officer determines under paragraph (b) or (c) that there is probable cause to believe that a valid Canadian order for protection exists and that the order has been violated, the officer shall enforce the terms of the Canadian order for protection as if the terms were in an order issued by a court in this state. Presentation to a peace officer of a certified copy of a Canadian order for protection is not required for enforcement.

(1) the order states the name of the protected individual and the individual against whom enforcement is sought;
(2) the order has not expired;
(3) the order was issued by a court or tribunal that had jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter under the law of the foreign jurisdiction; and
