Extreme Risk Protection Order

EXTREME RISK PROTECTION ORDER PETITION AND AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT. This packet of forms is used to request an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) in the State of Oregon. An ERPO is a court order designed to temporarily prevent an individual—referred to as the Respondent—from possessing or acquiring deadly weapons, including firearms, if they are determined to be at significant risk of harming themselves or others. The forms are intended for use by family or household members, intimate partners, or law enforcement officers who are concerned about the Respondent’s behavior. The packet includes instructions on how to complete and file the petition, information about eligibility, and requirements for notarization or in-court testimony. If granted, the order requires the Respondent to surrender their weapons and concealed handgun license within 24 hours, and prohibits them from possessing weapons while the order is in effect. The forms also cover procedures for service of the order, what happens if the Respondent contests it, how long the order lasts (typically one year), how to renew it, and how to request termination. A certificate of service form is included to document proper delivery of the order to the Respondent. The packet also provides guidance on requesting court accommodations, using interpreters, and contacting legal resources. www.FormsWorkflow.com
