No Contact Order
- A no contact order prohibits:
- Any communication with the victim (or person named in the order)
- Physical or violent contact with the victim
- Presence within 500 feet of the victim's residence, vehicle, or workplace
Injunctions
- Victims can file for an injunction and complete an affidavit explaining why they need protection
- An injunction is a civil action, but its violation has criminal consequences
- Law enforcement honors injunctions from other states or countries
Adult Protective Investigator (API)
- API can conduct an emergency forcible entry without a court order if a situation presents a risk of death or serious injury and they cannot obtain consent for access
- API decides whether to remove the victim from the home and when and where to place them in protective custody
- Officer's role is to conduct a criminal investigation to determine if a crime has occurred
Gathering Information
- Take extra time to be sensitive to the person's needs
- Observe carefully, speak clearly, and be patient
- Physically separate the victim from the suspect
- Document the emotional and mental response of the victim
Course of Action
- Work with the API to determine the best course of action to ensure the victim's safety
- Inform the victim of their options, including filing an injunction for protection against exploitation of a vulnerable adult or domestic violence injunction
- Refer victims to the Florida Senior Legal Helpline or Disability Rights Florida for legal assistance
Human Trafficking
- Human trafficking involves holding people in forced service for commercial sex trade or legitimate labor
- Two threshold questions to determine if a person is a victim of human trafficking:
- Did the suspect recruit, transport, or hold the victim in the service of another for labor or commercial sex acts?
- Did the suspect get or keep the victim's service through force, threats, psychological manipulation, or confiscation of legal documents?
- Victims of human trafficking are subjected to force, fraud, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor.
