Even if you do not qualify for an order for protection or a workplace violence restraining order, the abuser may have committed a crime. If you call the police, they may arrest him/her for a crime and you may get a restraining order through the criminal court. Remember that even if you do have an order for protection or a workplace violence restraining order, you can still report him/her to the police if you believe s/he committed a crime against you.
