Washington Instructions for an Extreme Risk Protection Order (RPO) is a legal process that aims to temporarily restrict a person's access to firearms if they are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others. It is designed to allow family members, household members, or law enforcement to petition a court for an order that will restrict a person's access to firearms. Types of Washington Instructions for an Extreme Risk Protection Order include: 1. Ex Parte RPO: This is an order that can be granted without the respondent present. It is usually issued when there is an immediate and present danger to the petitioner or others. 2. RPO Hearing: This is a hearing that will take place when the respondent is present and has an opportunity to contest the order. The court will hear the petitioner's case and then make a decision on whether to grant the order. 3. Temporary RPO: This is an order that is issued for a limited time and can be renewed after the expiration date. 4. Final RPO: This is an order that is issued for a period of one year and cannot be renewed. It will require the respondent to surrender all firearms and ammunition that are owned or controlled by them.
