How do I get an extreme risk protection order?

The steps to get an extreme risk protection order are similar to the steps to get a domestic violence protection order, but you will fill out different forms. You can find the petition and affidavit on the Colorado Courts website. You must file for an extreme risk protection order in the county where the respondent lives.1
