What must be left with the individual when serving an order of protection?

• A. A copy of the order
• B. A summary of the order
• C. The court seal
• D. A safety pamphlet

Answer: (A)

Notice and enforceability hinge on giving the person served with the actual document. When you serve an order of protection, the individual must be provided with a copy of the order so they know the exact terms, what is prohibited, and the duration. This copy lets them reference the requirements and shows that they’ve received proper notice, which is essential for enforcement. A summary wouldn’t capture all the binding terms, the court seal isn’t something handed to the person, and a safety pamphlet is informational only, not the binding order. So leaving a copy of the order with the individual is the required action.
