Who can file for an extreme risk protection order?

Only a law enforcement agency can file for an extreme risk protection order. They can request the order if a person poses a significant danger of causing personal injury to himself/herself or others by having or getting a firearm.1

If you are concerned about someone else’s safety, you can tell law enforcement and ask them to file for an extreme risk protection order to remove the person’s guns.
