Guide to Protective Orders | California Courts | Self Help Guide
The officer fills out a Gun Violence Emergency Protective Order (form EPO-002) application and contacts a judge to review the application. A judge is available 24/7 to sign off on these emergency orders.
If granted, a GVEPO will last up to 21 days. There will be a court hearing (court date), where the police and the person listed on the order will have to go to court. At the court hearing, the judge will decide whether to extend the GVEPO. If extended, this order can last from 1 to 5 years.
This type of order can also be requested without police involvement, by a family member, roommate, employer, employee, teacher, or coworker of the person who may be a danger to self or others. Learn more about gun violence restraining orders in California.
If there is a protective or restraining order against you, you must obey all the orders including any prohibiting guns or firearms. If you do not follow the orders, you could be arrested and charged with a state or federal crime. 
Protective orders issued in a criminal case
A judge can issue a protective order while a criminal case is ongoing
Criminal cases start when the prosecution (a lawyer representing the government) files charges against someone (the defendant). In some cases, a judge will issue a Criminal Protective Order (CPO) to protect victims and witnesses while the criminal case moves forward. A CPO can include orders that the defendant:
Not contact people protected by the order
Not harass, stalk, threaten or hurt people protected by the order
Stay a certain distance away from people protected by the order or places they live or go regularly
Not try to keep a victim or witness from testifying or going to court
Not try to find the location of anyone protected by the order
Not have guns, firearms, or ammunition
The judge may issue a Criminal Protective Order – Domestic Violence (CR-160) or Criminal Protective Order – Other Than Domestic Violence (CR-161), depending on what the defendant is charged with. If that happens, the defendant will get a copy of the CPO of the order in court. Usually, this happens at their first court date (the arraignment).

School Violence Restraining Orders in California | California Courts | Self Help Guide
What can a restraining order do?
A judge can grant a restraining order to protect students and the school campus from someone who has made a credible threat of violence. Once a restraining order is in place, the police can be called to enforce the order.
A judge can order an abusive person to:
Not contact the student or students
Stay away from the students and the school campus
Not have firearms or ammunition
Who can ask for a school violence restraining order?
Only the chief administrative officer (principal, president, or highest-ranking official) or a school safety officer from a private postsecondary school can ask for a school violence restraining order. Private postsecondary educational institutions include private colleges, as well as private vocational, trade, career, or technical schools.
Who can be protected by a school violence restraining order?
A school official can ask for protection for one or more students, as well as the student’s family or household members.
Who can be restrained by a school violence restraining order?
A school official can ask for a restraining order against a person who has been violent, threatened violence, or stalked a student. Abuse can include threatening violence or repeatedly calling, emailing, or following or stalking a student in such a way that the student reasonably fears for their safety.
A school can't get a restraining order against a corporation, or business. 
How does a school official ask for a school violence restraining order?
The school official will need to complete a few court forms. The forms will ask for a detailed description of the abuse the student experienced. In most counties, the judge will decide whether to grant immediate protection just based only on the completed court forms. The judge will make this decision the same day the school official turns in the forms, or by the next business day. The judge will also schedule a court hearing (court date), about 2-3 weeks from the time the court forms are turned in. At the court hearing, the judge will decide whether to grant a long-term restraining order.
For more information or help with forms, contact your local Self-Help Center or talk to a lawyer.

Overview
In California, an employer can ask for a court order to protect one or more employees from a person who has stalked, harassed, been violent or threatened violence at the workplace. Abuse at the workplace can include threats of violence that happen in person, over the phone, by mail, or online. It can also mean following an employee to or from work or during work hours. The employer can ask for protection for an employee who has been the target of abuse, other employees who may also be in danger, and the family or household members of employees.
There are different types of restraining orders. A workplace violence restraining order can be granted against anyone who has been violent or threatened violence against one or more employees at a workplace. Only the employer can ask for a workplace violence restraining order. 

Only an employer can ask for a Workplace Violence Restraining Order. If someone has abused, threatened, or harassed you and you need a Restraining Order to protect you outside your workplace, there are other types of restraining orders you can request.

What is a Workplace Violence Restraining Order?

 An employer whose employee has suffered unlawful violence or threat of violence 
 from any individual that can be construed to be, or to have been, carried out at 
 the workplace, may seek a restraining order through the court. An employee may not
 seek a Workplace Violence Restraining Order on his or her own behalf.

 	The Judicial Council provides an informational sheet 
 How Do I Get an Order to Prohibit Workplace Violence?(WV-100-INFO). This informational sheet
 describes court orders an employer can get and how to obtain them.
Workplace Violence Restraining Orders in California | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Cannot own or have firearms or ammunition
Who can ask for a workplace violence restraining order?
Only an employer can ask for a workplace violence restraining order. An employer is someone engaged in business in California, including government agencies and offices. 
Do I need a lawyer? 

If you are the employer and have a registered legal entity for your business, such as a corporation (including a non-profit corporation) or an LLC, a lawyer must represent your business in this case.
If you have a sole proprietorship (you are the only owner of an incorporated business), you may hire a lawyer or represent yourself.
If you are the employee, you do not need a lawyer. You may be asked to testify in this case and can be a person who is protected by the restraining order. If you have questions about restraining orders or need protection outside the workplace, you can get information from your local Self-Help Center.

Who can be protected by a workplace violence restraining order?
An employer can ask for protection for one or more employees. Volunteers, part-time workers, independent contractors, and board members are all considered employees who can be protected by this type of restraining order. In some cases, the employer can ask that spouses of employees be protected as well.
Who can be restrained by a workplace violence restraining order?
An employer can ask for a restraining order against a person who has been violent, threatened violence, or stalked one or more employees. An employer can't get a restraining order against a corporation or business. 

EXAMPLE
Members of a local organization are picketing outside a workplace to protest working conditions at the business. The organization's website lists the business owner's name and the names of other employees and encourages others to picket outside the business. Can the employer get a workplace violence restraining order against the organization or the picketers?
 
Probably not if the picketing was peaceful. Peaceful picketing or protesting on public property is a constitutionally protected activity. The employer can't file a workplace violence restraining order against the website owner since it is an organization, not a person.
 
Every case is different. To get advice about your situation and get more information about restraining orders, talk to a lawyer.
