How do I obtain a restraining order/order for protection?
THe Police Department doesn't provide restraining orders. You must go to one of the Dakota County Service Centers. Once the restraining order has been issued, the order must be served before it's considered to be in effect. At that point, if the order is violated, the Police can act upon it.

Northern Service Center, 1 Mendota Road, West St. Paul. 651-554-6200
Judicial Center, 1560 Highway 55 Hastings. 651-438-8100
Western Service Center, 14955 Galaxie Ave W, Apple Valley. 952-891-7256
