Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) Restraining Orders (FAPA ROs)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:

Records containing data on Family Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) Restraining Orders (FAPA ROs), including those pieces of information listed below, in Oregon from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, broken down by year and county, ideally at an individual case level.

Your department has very helpfully provided extreme risk protection order data in the past, and I am hoping you could help with this request as well.

1. The total number of FAPA RO petitions filed
2. The total number of FAPA ROs granted, broken down by ex-parte and final orders
3. The total number of FAPA ROs denied, broken down by ex-parte and final orders
4. The total number of FAPA ROs that prohibit respondents from possessing firearms, broken down by ex-parte and final orders
5. The total number of FAPA ROs that require relinquishment of firearms, broken down by ex-parte and final orders
6. The total number of FAPA ROs where firearms were successfully relinquished to a law enforcement agency
7. The total number of FAPA ROs where firearms were successfully relinquished to a licensed firearm dealer (FFL)
8. The total number of FAPA ROs where firearms were successfully relinquished to eligible third parties
9. The total number of FAPA ROs where no firearms were relinquished due to the respondent stating they don’t have any
10. The total number of FAPA ROs where the respondent asserted their constitutional right against self-incrimination
11. The total number of FAPA ROs where firearms were ordered to be relinquished but respondent failed to file the declaration
12. The total number of firearms relinquished to law enforcement
13. The total number of firearms relinquished to FFLs
14. The total number of firearms relinquished to third parties
15. The total number of firearms returned after the expiration of the order
16. The total number of firearms that were not returned after the expiration of the order because the respondent was prohibited from firearm possession

I greatly appreciate any help you can provide.

At a minimum, I am looking for the number of orders granted and how many required relinquishment of firearms, irrespective of whether you have or are able to share any of the other requested information.

If there is any information listed above that you do collect and can share, I will take whatever you are able to provide.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.

Sincerely,

Mackey O'Keefe
