Staying Safe

Clearing Your Internet History

Protection Orders

An order for protection is a written court order that is designed to stop violent and harassing behavior and to protect you and your children from the abuser. Orders for protection can also be known as temporary protection orders or restraining orders. Often referred to as TPO's. If you are interested in applying for a protection order you can call WDVS and an advocate can explain the process. We are available to help you fill out the paperwork and support you along the way. You can also visit WomensLaw.org for more information on how protection orders work in Nevada.

Safety Planning

A safety plan is a personalized plan to help you stay safe while you are in a relationship, leaving a relationship or after you leave. The safety planning process will give you the tools you need to cope with emotionally difficult situations, tell friends and family about the abuse, possibly take legal action and more. Advocates are available to help you design your own safety plan. Having a plan in place can help you feel more secure in times of stress.

VINE is a solution that lets victims of crime and other concerned citizens access timely and reliable information regarding offenders. It is offered free of charge to registrants, is completely confidential, and features multiple language support.

Offering peace of mind, the VINE service lets victims call a toll-free number, visit www.vinelink.com, or use the VINELink™ mobile app to anonymously check on an offender’s custody status.

Victims can also register to receive automated notifications about changes in that status via their choice of format: phone, email, or text. TTY (hearing impaired) service is also available.
