What may still continue

Even after the order ends, there can still be ongoing protections depending on your case history:

1. Police risk monitoring (VioGén)

• You may remain in the system if the case is still considered relevant risk-wise
• Risk level can be reviewed and updated over time
• Monitoring can continue even without an active restraining order

2. Informal police awareness / local records

• Local police may still have historical knowledge of the case
• This can influence how quickly they respond if anything new is reported

3. Emergency response protection

• If you report harassment, threats, or stalking after expiry:
  • Police can still act immediately
  • A new restraining order can be requested quickly if needed

🔵 What is important to understand

• A restraining order is a legal barrier, but not the only form of protection
• After it ends, protection becomes more risk-based and reactive rather than automatic
• The system does not “reset to zero” — history still matters in risk assessment

🧠 Simple way to think about it

• During the order → automatic legal protection
• After the order → monitoring + response-based protection if issues arise
