An order of protection can be obtained at the Franklin County Circuit Court. The court suggests petitions be turned in by 3:00 PM for Judge reviewal. Once signed by the Judge, it will be forwarded to the correct Sheriff’s Office for service. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office can only serve documents to those who reside or work in Franklin County.
For order of protection status, crime victims can register with MOVANS (Missouri Victim Automated Notification System) which will notify victims of any activity regarding changes to the offender's status. MOVANS can be reached at 1-866-566-8267 or by clicking this link - MOVANS.
