I was assaulted and do not want the suspect to have any contact with me.  Can I get a protection order?
Yes. Actually, you have two alternatives in this regard.   First, you may obtain a protection order through the Clerk of Courts Office if the offender was a relative or household member.  Also, you are eligible for a No Contact Order which is obtained through the Victims' Assistance Program.  The No Contact Order is a condition of bond and is effective while the criminal proceedings are pending.  You will need to contact the Victims' Assistance Program the next working day after the incident, before 9:30 a.m., if you the judge to issue a No Contact Order.
