Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 22

A. A law enforcement officer of this state, upon determining

that there is probable cause to believe that a valid foreign

protection order exists and that the order has been violated, shall

enforce the order as if it were the order of a tribunal of this

state. Presentation of a protection order that identifies both the

protected individual and the respondent and, on its face, is

currently in effect constitutes probable cause to believe that a

valid foreign protection order exists. For the purposes of this

section, the protection order may be inscribed on a tangible medium

or may have been stored in an electronic or other medium if it is

retrievable in perceivable form. Presentation of a certified copy

of a protection order is not required for enforcement.

B. If a foreign protection order is not presented, a law

enforcement officer of this state may consider other information in

determining whether there is probable cause to believe that a valid

foreign protection order exists.

C. If a law enforcement officer of this state determines that

an otherwise valid foreign protection order cannot be enforced

because the respondent has not been notified or served with the

order, the officer shall inform the respondent of the order, make a

reasonable effort to serve the order upon the respondent, and allow

the respondent a reasonable opportunity to comply with the order

before enforcing the order.

D. Registration or filing of an order in this state is not

required for the enforcement of a valid foreign protection order

pursuant to this act.
