Keep a copy at the workplace at all times
You should have a copy of form WV-130 with you and at your workplace at all times. If you have a phone, use your phone to take a picture of all the pages so you always have proof of it.
Give copies of the order to other people who may need it
You'll want to give copies of the restraining order to all protected employees and persons and encourage them to keep a copy of the WV-130 with them at all times. You'll also want to let other employees know about the restraining order.
You can give a paper copy to your local police department as well. This is optional because all law enforcement have access to restraining orders through a law enforcement database.
This may mean that the restraining order has not been entered into a law enforcement database, known as CLETS. The first step is to see if the restraining order has been signed by a judge and filed in your case. Check with your attorney or local Self-Help Center for help.
